Who Should I Start? Brian Robinson Jr. or Tyler Allgeier

Sunday, September 17, 11:34 PM

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. rushed 18 times for 87 yards and two touchdowns while catching two-of-three targets for 42 yards in Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos. Robinson had a massive day for himself while carving through Denver's defense at will. Through the first two weeks, the Commanders are clearly favoring the former Alabama product in the run game over any other option. With a stable role and a sizeable weekly workload, Robinson could be a solid option to rely on.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was the RB4 overall in standard scoring formats in Week 1 but had a disappointing Week 2 effort with 16 carries for 48 yards. However, his workload is still respectable enough to roll the dice on him in FLEX spots, especially in the deep leagues. In Week 3 against the Detroit Lions, the Falcons will continue to adopt a run-first approach and should have success on the ground. Allgeier is dependent on touchdowns to pay off in fantasy football, but he should have a good chance at finding the end zone against a mediocre defense. His workload could be reduced as the season moves forward, so now is the time to get the value out of him in fantasy lineups.
