Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier notched his seventh touchdown in 10 games last week despite totaling just 16 yards from scrimmage (three rushes for 10 yards, two catches for six yards). The touchdowns have made the 25-year-old fantasy relevant this year, but as frequent as they've become, he still owns an extremely low floor, scoring a total of five fantasy points in the four games in which he did not find the end zone. Sunday's matchup against the Saints should be competitive, and the BYU product tends to stay involved in those types of game scripts, however, with the Falcons owning an implied point total of 19 points, there may not be much scoring to be found in this game. The Saints are middle of the road in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs and have been stout lately, limiting opposing rushers to just 3.5 yards per carry over the last three games. It only reinforces Allgeier's status as a very risky RB4/Flex option in Week 12.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier continues to earn goal-line opportunities, and his three touchdowns over the Falcons' last two games have salvaged his otherwise uninspiring performances. Allgeier has 14 carries for 67 yards over those two contests, plus a pair of receptions. However, he also has three rushing touchdowns, scoring at least 9.6 fantasy points (PPR) in each of the two games. The Falcons have shown a tendency to give the ball to their running backs around the goal line, as Bijan Robinson and Allgeier have combined for five touchdowns over the last two games, including three last Sunday. As long as there are enough goal-line opportunities to go around, Allgeier should continue to score touchdowns at a promising rate. He remains in the RB3/flex tier ahead of Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints, but managers must accept the fact that his value is heavily dependent on finding the end zone. As a result, he's more of a matchup-based play rest-of-season.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has just three carries for 10 yards in his team's Week 11 loss to the Carolina Panthers. However, Allgeier did manage to find his way into the end zone against Carolina for his seventh rushing touchdown of the 2025 season and his fourth in the last four weeks. Across 10 games this season, the 25-year-old has rushed for 280 yards and seven scores on 77 rush attempts. Allgeier remains the clear RB2 in Atlanta behind star running back Bijan Robinson. However, Allgeier has more rushing touchdowns than Robinson and clearly has the trust of the Atlanta coaching staff in short-yardage situations. Allgeier's goal-line role gives him some flex appeal in the right matchups, and he'd profile as a must-start fantasy running back if Robinson were to get injured. Allgeier should be rostered in all fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams heading into a Week 12 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
Nov 17, 2025 10:20 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier continues to put himself in the Flex conversation after scoring his fifth and sixth rushing touchdowns of the season last week. In games where Atlanta remains competitive, the 25-year-old tends to stay involved, and Week 11's matchup against the Panthers should be one of those games despite losing to Carolina 30-0 back in Week 3. Carolina has allowed 157 yards rushing per game over the last three weeks, which is the fourth-highest total in the league, and has been stingy against the pass, so Atlanta may prefer to stick to the ground in this one as much as possible. The BYU product has been getting a healthy number of attempts inside the red zone, including five last week compared to just one for Bijan Robinson, so he could be in line for a score this week, too. Averaging just 3.6 yards per carry, though, makes him a touchdown-dependent RB4/Flex option, who has put up just a total of 5.0 fantasy points in the games in which he failed to score.
Nov 15, 2025 1:27 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said that running back Tyler Allgeier is "the least talked about superstar on our football team," according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN. Despite being the backup to another superstar in RB Bijan Robinson, Allgeier has seen double-digit carries five times in 2025, including in the Week 10 loss in Germany to the Indianapolis Colts, when he carried the ball 11 times for 57 yards and two touchdowns. The 25-year-old only has five catches for 20 yards in nine games, but the fact that he continues to be used near the goal line over Robinson is giving him standalone fantasy appeal as an RB3/flex. Robinson only has two rushing touchdowns this year, while Allgeier has six. Allgeier's volume is not consistent, but his nose for the end zone makes him a pretty valuable handcuff option in fantasy.
Nov 12, 2025 1:39 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier logged 11 carries for 57 yards and a season-high two touchdowns in the team's 31-25 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts. While Bijan Robinson managers may view Allgeier as a frustrating timeshare partner, the fourth-year back is quietly becoming fantasy-relevant. In games the Falcons have either won or pushed to overtime, Allgeier has averaged 13.6 carries for 56.5 yards and five touchdowns across four games. With three upcoming games where Atlanta projects as a favorite, Allgeier could continue to provide sneaky fantasy value as a touchdown-dependent flex option for desperate teams.
Nov 10, 2025 10:57 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier had 11 carries for 57 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's Week 10 loss against the Indianapolis Colts. Allgeier's production has been inconsistent this year, and Sunday's overtime thriller saw him post his largest carry total since Week 4. The 25-year-old remains the backup option behind Bijan Robinson, showcasing that he can have standalone fantasy value from time to time. Unfortunately, his good games have been a bit unpredictable, so it's tough to trust him as a fantasy starter as long as he's healthy. For now, he remains a handcuff with low-end RB3/flex appeal in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers.
Nov 9, 2025 2:23 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was a non-factor last week after the Falcons got down early, recording just two rushes for six yards. The 25-year-old now has 11 rushes for 30 yards and one touchdown in the team's last four losses, compared to 42 rushes for 159 yards and three touchdowns in their three wins. Unless the Falcons can keep Week 10's matchup close, Allgeier could be an afterthought again. Atlanta is a 6.5-point underdog versus the Colts in Germany on Sunday, and with the fourth-year pro having basically no involvement in the passing game, he's a touchdown-dependent RB4/Flex play this week with very little upside and a near-zero floor.
Nov 8, 2025 2:11 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier found the end zone for the fourth time in his last six games last week, although he carried the ball just four times for four yards, adding two catches for 10 yards. Of Allgeier's four scores, three have come in wins, with the 25-year-old mustering just one touchdown on a total of nine rushes for 24 yards in the team's last three losses. If that trend continues, it could be a quiet Sunday in Week 9 for the 5-foot-10 running back, as the Falcons are 4.5-point road underdogs and carry an implied point total under 20 in this one. Not to mention, New England is tough against the run, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs, and has allowed just 76 rush yards per contest and 3.5 yards per rush (both second-fewest). The BYU product is a touchdown-dependent RB4/Flex this week, who has a very low floor.
Nov 1, 2025 1:29 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. Allgeier was limited in practice on Thursday, but that won't stop him from playing in Week 9. The 25-year-old played through the same issue last week and handled a season-high 40 percent of the offensive snaps. The increase in playing time was likely due to the fact that the game was a blowout. Allgeier figures to return to his regular role this weekend. He's a touchdown-dependent option heading into Week 9.
Oct 31, 2025 9:11 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier found paydirt again in Week 8's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins, scoring the team's only touchdown of the day. The six-yard score came late in the fourth quarter and marked Allgeier's fourth touchdown of the season, which is tied for the team lead with Bijan Robinson, who has two rushing scores and two scores through the air. While the touchdown volume can't be ignored, the pace feels tenuous at best, as the 25-year-old garnered only six touches in the game and had three rushes for negative two yards prior to the TD plunge. For the season, the BYU product has registered just 3.4 yards per carry, compared to Robinson's 5.2 YPC. Had the score been closer and not 34-3 at the time of the touchdown run, Allgeier may not have even been in the game. Nevertheless, he's become a potential Flex option due to his nose for the end zone, but fantasy managers need to be aware that there is a high chance of busting if he doesn't score. Things won't get easier in Week 9 on the road in New England against a defense allowing the fourth-fewest points per game (18.3), second-fewest rush yards per game (76.0), and second-fewest rush yards per attempt (3.5).

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier (hip) is officially active for Sunday's contest against the Miami Dolphins. The team's No. 2 running back practiced in a limited capacity all week but was able to progress enough to suit up. In Week 7, Allgeier had had a limited role, taking just four carries for a mere 16 yards. However, in Week 6, Allgeier took 10 carries for 32 yards and punched in his third rushing score of the campaign. Through six games, Allgeier has tallied 203 yards despite operating as the clear No. 2 option behind Bijan Robinson. Given that the Falcons will face a weak Miami defense that has allowed the fourth-most PPR points to opposing RBs this season, Allgeier carries sneaky FLEX upside in this matchup.
Oct 26, 2025 11:41 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier (hip, knee) is listed as questionable to play in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins after being limited in practice during the week. It appears to be a new injury for Allgeier, as he was not listed on the injury report last week. The 25-year-old has been an impactful player for the Atlanta offense in a backup role behind superstar Bijan Robinson, handling 57 carries for 203 yards and three touchdowns on the season. The Falcons' offense could look a tad different on Sunday against the Dolphins with veteran Kirk Cousins expected to start in place of Michael Penix Jr. (knee), who has been managing a bone bruise this week. Allgeier has gotten a good amount of his production when the Falcons look to salt the game away late, setting him up for a potential big day against a porous Miami run defense. Allgeir is right on the RB2/flex line for Week 8, ranked as the RB27 in PPR formats by RotoBaller.
Oct 25, 2025 10:29 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier (hip, knee) is officially questionable to play in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins, per Josh Kendall of The Athletic. Even while stuck behind star running back Bijan Robinson in Atlanta, Allgeier has been a productive player so far this season. Across six games, the 25-year-old has rushed for 203 yards and three touchdowns on 57 carries. If Allgeier cannot play in Week 8, Robinson could be in line for an absolutely monstrous game in a very favorable matchup against the Dolphins. Miami has allowed the most rushing yards (1,115) and third-most rushing touchdowns (nine) in the NFL. Should Allgeier be able to go, he profiles as a high-end flex option for fantasy managers in Week 8.
Oct 24, 2025 3:49 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier (knee, hip) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. He's a new addition to the injury report as Allgeier is dealing with a few minor issues. Allgeier hasn't done much on the field lately as he rushed for 16 yards on four carries during last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He has seen double digit carries in four games this season, but it hasn't resulted in a ton of fantasy value. Whether he's healthy or not, Allgeier isn't going to have much value while Bijan Robinson is healthy and running like he has been in the backfield.
Oct 22, 2025 9:29 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier scored for the third time in his last four games in Week 6, and while he also logged double-digit carries for the fourth time this season, the 25-year-old tallied just 3.2 yards per carry, which was buoyed by a 21-yard run that amounted to the bulk of his 32 total yards. Although he likely can't keep up this touchdown pace, the fourth-year pro has carved out a solid role as the No. 2 back in Atlanta, and as long as the game remains competitive, Allgeier figures to get enough work to keep him in the Flex conversation. A competitive game appears to be in the cards in Week 7 against the 49ers, so the BYU product sets up as a high-end RB4/Flex play, but fantasy managers should be aware that if he doesn't find the end zone, there will be little fantasy production to be had as the 5-foot-10 running back is not a factor in the passing game.
Oct 18, 2025 9:11 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier broke off a 21-yard touchdown run early in the first quarter of Monday's 24-14 win over the Bills, his third touchdown of the season. Outside of that electric play, the 25-year-old managed only 11 yards on nine carries (1.2 yards per rush), and he added one catch for six yards. The fourth-year pro has scored in three of the Falcons' five games, and even has more rushing scores on the ground than Bijan Robinson does. Even so, it would be surprising to see him keep up this pace over the remainder of the season, having a previous career high of four rushing scores, and with him typically playing around 30 percent of the team's offensive snaps compared to Robinson's 70 percent or more. Still, for now, the BYU product has some Flex appeal in this offense, just know that he put up less than two points in half-point PPR formats in the two weeks he didn't find the end zone, so there is a very low floor here, too. The Falcons will take on San Francisco in Week 7, a defense that has allowed the 21st-most fantasy points to opposing RBs.
Oct 14, 2025 11:08 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier garnered 16 rush attempts and rumbled his way to 51 yards and his second touchdown of the season in Week 4. It was his third dose of double-digit carries through the team's first four games, but the fourth-year pro is averaging just 3.6 yards per rush compared to Bijan Robinson's 4.9 YPR. It will be difficult to predict the games where the 25-year-old finds paydirt, so he makes for a dicey Flex play most weeks with such a low YPR, especially if the Falcons have to abandon the run. In Week 3 against the Panthers, the Falcons fell behind early and had to play catch-up, leaving Allgeier with a total of two touches (one rush, one reception). The Bills could present a similar problem for the Falcons on Monday, making the BYU product a risky RB4/Flex option in Week 6.
Oct 11, 2025 3:05 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier disappeared from the offense last week, with the Falcons playing from behind the entire game, and the running backs finally giving way to Nathan Carter (hamstring) in the fourth quarter of the 30-0 blowout loss to the Panthers. This week's game should be more competitive, with a relatively low over/under (43.5) and the Falcons as only slight favorites (-2.5). That should give Allgeier a chance to get back on track after recording double-digit carries the first two weeks, and even finding the end zone once. Still, averaging just 3.9 yards per carry will limit his upside, and the 25-year-old is not typically involved in the passing attack (two catches for four yards in '25), so view him as nothing more than a middling RB4 or a speculative Flex play, as well as a handcuff for Bijan Robinson managers.
Sep 27, 2025 12:16 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier rushed 16 times for 76 yards and a touchdown in Week 2's 22-6 victory over the Vikings, the second straight week he's reached double-digit carries, and he even caught one pass for four yards. The 25-year-old tallied double-digit carries five times all last season, so it bodes well for his usage that he was able to reach the double-digit plateau in both a pass-heavy game and a run-heavy game this early in the season. With the Falcons as five-point favorites in Week 3, it sets up as a spot for the team to lean more run than pass, and if Atlanta intends to keep Bijan Robinson fresh, Allgeier should continue to see involvement. The BYU product's best game in 2024 came in Week 6 against Carolina, rushing 18 times for 105 yards and a touchdown, and he added nine rushes for 52 in the Week 18 rematch. The Panther defense hasn't improved, so Allgeier should be viewed as a low-end RB3 or Flex option on Sunday.
