Tyler Allgeier Week 5 Outlook - Buccaneers at Falcons

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 3rd 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Allgeier is a viable flex this week. Last week, he played a season-high 38% of the snaps with ten touches and 80 total yards. Overall this season, Allgeier is tied with Bijan Robinson with six red zone rushing attempts. Among 55 qualifying backs, Allgeier ranks 11th in explosive run rate, 20th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 24th in yards after contact per attempt. Atlanta should lean on their ground game this week against the Bucs. They have allowed the third-highest explosive run rate, the fifth-highest missed tackle rate, and the eighth-highest rushing success rate. The Bucs have the lowest stuff rate in the NFL. Don't be surprised if Allgeier finishes the week as a low-end RB2 (if he gets into the end zone).
