Tyler Allgeier
RB - Atlanta Falcons
Availability
Allgeier remains more handcuff than a true weekly flex play. Since Week 7, Allgeier has only averaged 27% of the snaps with eight touches and 32 total yards per game. In that span, he has only played 30% of the snaps when the team reaches the red zone. Across his last three games played, he has only seen 25.3% of the rushing work. He could get a bump in work this week if the Falcons crush the Saints and build a huge early lead. That's the fever dream for anyone with ideas of flexing Allgeier this week. New Orleans has allowed the eighth-most rushing yards per game, the ninth-highest missed tackle rate, and the fourth-most yards before contact per attempt.
One very important change in Atlanta's offense has simultaneously depreciated Tyler Allgeier's fantasy value and made the Falcons operate at a higher level. They are giving Bijan Robinson the ball a lot more than when the season started. Robinson is a mega-star, but Allgeier is more than serviceable. He scored a touchdown against Dallas in Week 9 despite earning only six carries. The former BYU linebacker should see some more work in the weeks to come as the Falcons manage Bijan's workload entering the playoff push. He has innate touchdown upside as the team's unquestioned short-yardage thumper.
