Who Should I Start? Tyler Allgeier or Bijan Robinson

Saturday, December 20, 2:07 PM

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was a non-factor in Week 15's 29-28 win over the Buccaneers, rushing just twice for 18 yards, and did not receive any targets in the passing game for the first time since Week 10. The BYU product is tied for the team lead in touchdowns with eight, but has limited fantasy appeal if he's not finding the end zone. Week 16, however, could bring a solid chance to score, as the Falcons go up against an Arizona defense that has yielded the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs and has allowed 35 points per game to opponents over their last three games (second most). Atlanta has an implied total of 25 points in this one, so there should be a few touchdowns scored, and the 25-year-old projects as a low-floor Flex play who currently has the third-best odds of scoring out of all the Falcon playmakers (+140).

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson dominated the Arizona Cardinals in his team's 26-19 Week 16 win. The 23-year-old recorded 16 carries for 76 yards and hauled in seven receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. Across 15 games this season, Robinson has now recorded 2,026 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns on 321 touches. Robinson has racked up at least 107 scrimmage yards in five out of his last six games and has logged at least 88 scrimmage yards in every game but one in 2025. He may be the NFL's premier all-around back and is currently on pace to finish the season with just a shade under 2,300 yards from scrimmage. Robinson profiles as a must-start fantasy back heading into the team's Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
