Fantasy Football Expert Rankings: Tyler Allgeier, Brian Robinson Jr., Rashod Bateman (2024)

With redraft season slowly coming into focus there is no better resource to use than the Expert Consensus Rankings, which combine over 100 rankings from fantasy football experts around the industry and can be averaged against Average Draft Position (ADP).

Doing this allows us to see the players that the consensus is ahead or behind ADP on and gives us an idea of whether these players are likely to be taken earlier or later in our drafts. Here are all of the players our expert rankings are higher or lower on compared to ADP. Below we dive into a few notable names the experts like more or less than ADP.

Fantasy Football Expert Rankings Analysis

Players the Rankings Like More than ADP

Tyler Allgeier (RB – ATL): +16

The Falcons are set for dramatic changes this year and the expectation is that Bijan Robinson will have a larger opportunity share than the 52.1% he did in 2023, ranking 27th among all running backs. Robinson averaged 15.9 touches while Tyler Allgeier averaged 12.2, as he was a nuisance to both Robinson and fantasy managers. Allgeier warranted involvement though, averaging 1.9 yards per route run compared to Robinson’s 1.0, and managing an almost identical 3.0 rushing yards after contact compared to Robinson’s 3.1. If Allgeier stays involved he’ll have enough upside to be worth rostering in all formats as one of the league’s best handcuffs.

Brian Robinson Jr. (RB – WAS): +16

Austin Ekeler is coming off an awful year by his standards where PFF graded him at a career-low 60.2, a massive drop from his career average of 79.6. Ekeler also saw his missed tackles forced per game drop from 4.2 in 2022 to 2.9 in 2023, along with setting a career-low in yards after contact per attempt, a number that has fallen for Ekeler for six straight seasons. Meanwhile, Brian Robinson Jr. has been steadily consistent for the Commanders, rushing for 4.1 yards per carry in 2023, and comes at a cheaper cost. Robinson might be quite simply the better back and available later.

Rashod Bateman (WR – BAL): +14

It’s true that 93 catches over three seasons isn’t helping anyone in fantasy football, but Rashod Bateman is currently enjoying his first injury-free offseason of his NFL career (knock on wood). The Ravens moved on from Odell Beckham Jr. who was second on the team in targets last year (64), then didn’t spend any meaningful resources on adding another receiver. John Harbaugh and Eric DeCosta have both talked up how much they expect Bateman to take a leap, and if he does so then the ECR will be correct to be ahead of ADP.
