Tyler Allgeier News
Saturday, November 7, 1:22 AM
Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier ran roughshod over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8. Allgeier had a 63-yard touchdown run and broke an additional 52-yard run on his way to collecting 147 rushing yards on 11 carries. He also caught five passes for 44 yards and a touchdown in the game. Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was placed on injured reserve this week, and Bam Knight (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 9. With Evan Hull the only other healthy running back currently on the roster, Allgeier is set up for work as a three-down back. Unfortunately, this new stint as the starter kicks off with a meeting against the Seahawks, who are allowing the second-fewest yards per carry to opposing running backs (3.28). Ironically, the Seahawks rank last in red zone conversion rate allowed, which could set Allgeier up for another trip to the end zone. He projects as an RB2/3 for Week 9.

Bijan Robinson News
Saturday, November 7, 9:05 AM
Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson rushed 19 times for 76 scoreless yards in last week's loss to the Bucs, and was held catchless for the first time since the 2023 season. Let's just chalk that one up to bad weather and poor quarterback play, and expect things to get back to normal this week for the team's matchup against the Bengals in Madrid, Spain. Though Cincinnati has a solid run defense by various metrics, the unit ranks near the bottom in terms of yards allowed per rush attempt, yielding the fourth-most in the NFL (4.8 yards/rush). Robinson, who is averaging 5.2 yards per rush (fourth-most), should be able to take advantage this week, and in a game that has the highest projected point total on the slate (52.5), expect the former Longhorn to be a big reason why it is so high. The 24-year-old ranks as the No. 3 running back overall in Week 9 at RotoBaller, so season-long and DFS managers should feel confident slotting him in as a high-floor, high-ceiling RB1.
