Should I Start Tyler Allgeier?

Sunday, November 8, 4:33 PM

Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier rushed for just 46 yards on 17 carries during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. He also caught two of his three targets, but they resulted in net zero receiving yards. Allgeier operated as the Cardinals' No. 1 running back with Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and Bam Knight (concussion) inactive. While he did handle the volume of a typical lead back, his overall production (or lack thereof) was frustrating for fantasy managers. Most notably, he averaged just 2.7 yards per carry, which was a big step backward from his 13.4 YPC the week prior. He now has fewer than 2.75 YPC in six of his nine games this year. The schedule doesn't get any easier for Allgeier, as he'll head into a tricky Week 10 matchup against a Rams defensive front led by Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald.
