Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Ties season high in carries Sunday
Tyler 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.

Tyler 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.

Tyler Allgeier carried the ball 11 times for 34 yards and caught both his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks.The Atlanta Falcons offense couldn't get into the end zone, but the backfield had a solid performance as Bijan Robinson collected 94 scrimmage yards on 22 touches and Allgeier added 67 yards on 13 touches. It's the first time Allgeier has reached 60 yards from scrimmage since Week 2, and he'll remain a TD-dependent fantasy option in Week 15 against the Buccaneers.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Scores eighth rushing TD in loss
Tyler Allgeier rushed eight times for 20 yards and a touchdown while catching both of his targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jets.Allgeier scored a one-yard touchdown one play after Bijan Robinson was stopped for no gain. Robinson got a rushing score in the third quarter, but Allgeier still leads the team with eight rushing touchdowns compared to Robinson's five. Allgeier maintains some fantasy value thanks to his goal-line usage, but he's averaging just 28.7 rushing yards per game heading into a Week 14 home game against Seattle's elite run defense.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Gains 49 yards on 13 touches
Tyler Allgeier rushed 12 times for 44 yards and brought in his only target for five yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over New Orleans.Allgeier received the most carries he has seen in a game since Week 4, but the increased workload did not translate to increased fantasy production. The talented backup had scored thrice over his last two appearances, but he has also been held to five or fewer carries in four out of his last six, highlighting the risk that comes with fantasy managers deploying him in his current role. Allgeier feels like a premium touchdown-dependent asset against the Jets in Week 13 for those in deeper leagues or those looking to replace a player on a bye.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Reaches end zone again
Tyler Allgeier logged three carries for 10 yards and a touchdown and added two catches on as many targets for six yards during the Atlanta Falcons' 30-27 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday.Allgeier logged 11 carries during the Falcons' Week 10 OT loss to the Cardinals, but he was far less involved in the running game during Sunday's loss. Bijan Robinson led the way for the Falcons with 143 yards and two rushing touchdowns on 27 touches, but Allgeier punched in a one-yard touchdown run of his own late in the second quarter to salvage his fantasy production. Allgeier is now up to seven rushing touchdowns through 10 regular-season games, which is as many as he accumulated across the 2023 and 2024 regular seasons combined. Next up for the Falcons is a Week 12 road clash against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 23.

Falcons' Tyler Allgeier: Finds end zone twice in OT loss
Tyler Allgeier carried the ball 11 times for 57 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 31-25 overtime loss to the Colts.The backup RB scored one-yard TDs in the first and fourth quarters as he continues to take red-zone work away from Bijan Robinson. Robinson led the Atlanta Falcons with 84 rushing yards on the day but didn't get into the end zone, and he has only two rushing touchdowns in nine games compared to Allgeier's six. It was also Allgeier's first multi-TD performance since Week 1 of the 2023 season. as long as he continues to see heavy usage in the red zone and at the goal line, Allgeier will have some fantasy utility even though Sunday was only the third time this season he's topped 50 rushing yards in a game.
