Jeremiyah Love (ankle) might be limited with his health or his workload in Week 5 against Detroit. Allgeier could have a prominent role for the Cardinals, and he should be considered a flex option in all leagues. Allgeier just had eight carries for 42 yards and a touchdown and two catches for 7 yards on two targets in Week 4 at the Giants in the game where Love was injured. And the Lions have allowed Travis Etienne, James Cook and Chuba Hubbard to score at least 14.8 PPR points already this season.

Cardinals' Tyler Allgeier: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Allgeier may end up in a prominent role for the Cardinals in Week 5 against Detroit, and he's worth adding in all leagues for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAAB. Coach Mike LaFleur said Monday that Jeremiyah Love is dealing with an ankle issue that's not related to the high-ankle sprain he suffered in August. At the time of publication, Love isn't expected to miss the Lions' game, but we'll see what happens during the week. Allgeier just had eight carries for 42 yards and a touchdown and two catches for 7 yards on two targets against the Giants in Week 4. He played more snaps than Love for the third time this season, and Love didn't finish the game after he apparently was injured in the fourth quarter. If Allgeier starts against Detroit he would be a low-end No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues.

Cardinals' Tyler Allgeier: Breaks off 22-yard TD in loss
Rotowire
Allgeier rushed eight times for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-24 loss to the Giants. He added two catches for seven yards on two targets.
After Jeremiyah Love appeared to distance himself from Allgeier in Week 3 against the 49ers, Allgeier ended up out-snapping the rookie running back against the Giants. Love out-carried Allgeier 14 to eight Sunday, but it was Allgeier who found the end zone with a 22-yard score in the first quarter to give Arizona a 14-3 lead. Through four games, Allgeier has rushed 32 times for 112 yards and a touchdown, adding 10 catches for 35 yards on 10 targets. Splitting time with Love, Allgeier is touchdown-or-bust fantasy option most weeks.

Cardinals' Tyler Allgeier: Four receptions in loss
Rotowire
Allgeier rushed twice for a loss of one yard and caught all four of his targets for 10 yards in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Allgeier wasn't asked to rush much. The No. 2 running back left most of the carries to rookie Jeremiyah Love. The 26-year-old racked up his points on screen passes and checkdowns, catching everything thrown his way for minimal gains.

Cardinals' Tyler Allgeier: Seven touches in loss
Rotowire
Allgeier turned five carries into 10 yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks.
Allgeier saw a substantial reduction in his rush attempts in Week 2, going from 17 carries Week 1 versus the Chargers to only having five in Sunday's blowout loss. The running back and the rest of Arizona's offense never found any sort of sustained success against Seattle, so he was far from being the only disappointing player in the contest. Notably, rookie first-rounder Jeremiyah Love garnered four more carries and reeled in one more catch than Allgeier, and the latter figures to fade into a No. 2 role as the season progresses.

Cardinals' Tyler Allgeier: Week 2 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Allgeier was the lead running back for the Cardinals in Week 1 at the Chargers with 17 carries for 61 yards and two catches for 9 yards on two targets. Jeremiyah Love had 11 carries for 41 yards and a touchdown and two catches for 9 yards on four targets, and he should eventually take over this backfield. Love was playing his first game since suffering a high-ankle sprain in early August, and the Cardinals were likely being cautious with his playing time. That said, Allgeier should continue to have a prominent role for Arizona, and he would be a No. 2 Fantasy running back in all leagues if Love were to miss any time. Allgeier is worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Cardinals' Tyler Allgeier: Robust workload in Week 1 win
Rotowire
Allgeier rushed 17 times for 61 yards and brought in both targets for nine yards in the Cardinals' 26-14 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Allgeier lived up to his No. 1 slotting on the Week 1 depth chart, outpacing Jeremiyah Love by six carries and matching the rookie's reception total, albeit on two fewer targets. Allgeier did scuffle for rushing yards all afternoon long, but the veteran back helped keep the Chargers defense honest and proved capable of leading the ground attack. Love should be in line for a progressive boost in volume as the season unfolds, and there's no doubt as to which player between him and Allgeier has the higher ceiling; nevertheless, the latter should continue to see plenty of opportunity during a Week 2 home divisional clash with the defending champion Seahawks next Sunday.

Cardinals' Tyler Allgeier: Sees action with starters
Rotowire
Allgeier rushed four times for 19 yards and wasn't targeted in the Cardinals' 27-14 preseason win over the Raiders on Thursday.
Allgeier and rookie third overall pick Jeremiyah Love were the two Cardinals running backs to log touches on the team's opening possession. Allgeier's first opportunity came after Love had seen two rush attempts and recorded a reception, but the former proceeded to rattle off consecutive seven-yard runs on his first pair of carries. Allgeier also had a five-yard rush on the Cardinals' second drive, and his team debut was an encouraging one overall. The veteran RB's exact regular-season role in a crowded backfield remains to be determined, but it's worth noting Allgeier has ample experience complementing a star back after playing alongside Bijan Robinson in Atlanta for the last three seasons.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Stymied on ground in win
Rotowire
Allgeier rushed 10 times for 23 yards in the Falcons' 27-24 win over the Rams on Monday night.
The reserve back saw backfield mate Bijan Robinson tear through the Rams for 195 yards on 22 carries, but Allgeier had nowhere near the same amount of success finding running room. Allgeier's 2.3 yards per carry was his second-lowest figure of the season, yet the fourth-year pro could have a good opportunity to bounce back in a Week 18 regular-season finale against a vulnerable Saints run defense.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Ties season high in carries Sunday
Rotowire
Allgeier rushed 16 times for 79 yards while losing six yards on his only reception in Sunday's 26-19 win over Arizona.
Allgeier surprisingly tied starter Bijan Robinson in carries a week after being limited to two touches against the Buccaneers. That's where the comparisons end, as the latter went off for 92 yards and a score as a receiver out of the backfield compared to the backup's negative production in that area Sunday. Allgeier's 16 carries tied his personal high this season, a total he reached twice back in Weeks 2 and 4. Allgeier's 126-475-8 rushing line across 15 games highlights his touchdown dependency while serving as Atlanta's change-of-pace back. The talented backup provides just enough upside to warrant flex consideration against the Rams next Monday.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
The Cardinals have allowed the second-most Fantasy points to opposing running backs in their past five games, behind only the Jets. Over that span, seven running backs have scored at least 10.8 PPR points -- with nine total touchdowns -- including two tandems in Blake Corum and Kyren Williams in Week 14 and Jawhar Jordan and Woody Marks in Week 15. That bodes well for Bijan Robinson and Allgeier, and Allgeier has scored a touchdown in three of his past six games. I like Allgeier as a flex in this game.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Little involvement in win over Bucs
Rotowire
Allgeier carried the ball twice for 18 yards during Thursday's 29-28 win over the Buccaneers.
Allgeier had logged eight or more carries in four of his last five appearances heading into Week 15, but he played just 17 percent of the offensive snaps versus Tampa Bay, his lowest share since Week 3. He'll look to get more involved behind Bijan Robinson again in Week 16, when the Falcons will travel to Arizona on Sunday, Dec. 21.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Allgeier comes into Week 11 against Carolina having scored a rushing touchdown in four of his past six games. In Week 10 at Indianapolis in Berlin, Allgeier had 11 carries for 57 yards and two touchdowns, and he scored 17.7 PPR points. His production has been a problem for Bijan Robinson, but Fantasy managers looking for a flex option in Week 11 can lean on Allgeier. The Panthers have allowed three rushing touchdowns in their past three games, and Allgeier should be a candidate to score in this matchup, especially if the Falcons are playing with a lead late in the game.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Sleeper RBs
Rotowire
Allgeier should have the chance for a quality outing in Week 8 against Miami, and he's worth using as a flex option in all leagues. The Dolphins are No. 4 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs, and a running back has scored at least 16.1 PPR points against Miami in six games in a row, including four guys with at least 20.8 PPR points over that span. That bodes tremendously well for Bijan Robinson, but Allgeier should get in on the action as well. He has scored at least 10.8 PPR points in three of his past five games, and he should reach that level of production or more in this matchup at home.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Suiting up in Week 8
Rotowire
Allgeier (hip/knee) is active for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
After a week in which he was limited in all three practices due to hip and knee injuries and listed as questionable, Allgeier will be available to a Falcons offense Week 8 that will be led by QB Kirk Cousins, who is getting a spot start for the injured Michael Penix (knee). Allgeier has averaged just 3.6 YPC on his 57 rushes in six contests this season, but he could take advantage of the touches that don't go to top RB Bijan Robinson against a Miami defense that has allowed the fourth-most YPC (5.2) to opposing running backs in 2025.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Sleeper RBs

Allgeier has done a nice job of being productive in tandem with Bijan Robinson, and Allgeier is worth using as a flex option in all leagues in Week 7 at San Francisco. He's scored at least 10.8 PPR points in three of the past four games, and the 49ers run defense could struggle this week in the first game without star middle linebacker Fred Warner (ankle). Robinson is my No. 1 running back this week given the matchup, but I like Allgeier as a flex, especially since he has at least 10 carries in all but one game this year.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Scores early TD Monday
Rotowire
Allgeier carried the ball 10 times for 32 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for six yards in Monday's 24-14 win over the Bills.
Allgeier got involved in the box score early with a 21-yard touchdown scamper on Atlanta's opening possession. The talented backup then took a back seat to starter Bijan Robinson, who ripped apart Buffalo's defense to the tune of 238 yards from scrimmage and a score of his own. Allgeier has generated some flex appeal after hitting pay dirt thrice over his last four appearances. There is a four-yard dud nestled in between, so fantasy managers should also be aware of Allgeier's drastic floor ahead of Sunday's tilt against San Francisco.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Allgeier is on bye in Week 5, and Fantasy managers might drop him to create room on the roster, which is understandable. But I want to roster Allgeier in all leagues since he has lottery-ticket appeal as the backup to Bijan Robinson. And Allgeier already has two games with at least 16 total touches and two touchdowns, and he would be a top-20 Fantasy running back in all leagues if Robinson missed any time due to injury.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Hits paydirt against Washington
Rotowire
Allgeier carried the ball 16 times for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-27 win over the Commanders.
Bijan Robinson had a massive day with 21 touches, a career-high 181 scrimmage yards and a rushing TD of his own, but Allgeier still made an impact with a 15-yard score late in the third quarter. It was the fourth-year RB's second touchdown of the season, and despite his backup role he's been able to carve out some fantasy value behind Robinson, turning 41 carries through four weeks into 155 rushing yards. The Falcons will be on bye in Week 5, but Allgeier's volume in Week 6 could depend on whether the team can keep things close against the Bills.
