Tyler Allgeier

Allgeier is a talented rusher, but last season, he was the thorn in the side of every Bijan Robinson drafter as Arthur Smith's prized pupil. Allgeier surprised in his rookie season as the RB31 in fantasy, finishing with 226 touches and nearly 1,200 total yards. While Allgeier shocked people in 2023 with 37 red zone touches (24th) and 186 carries, he couldn't carry his rookie season efficiency into last year. Last season, among 49 qualifying backs, he ranked 45th in explosive run rate and 35th in missed tackles forced per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). With Smith out of town, Robinson will likely own this backfield in 2024, which leaves Allgeier as a handcuff only.

Tyler Allgeier rushed for 24 yards on six carries in the Falcons’ 48-17 loss to the Saints. He caught 3-of-3 targets for 10 yards.

Fantasy Impact

Allgeier closes out the season with a fairly quiet performance that was definitely impacted by the Saints getting out to a large lead. The 23-year-old will likely remain the backup to Bijan Robinson to start the 2024 season.
