Tyler Allgeier Highly Inefficient on 19 Touches in Week 9

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.

Braelon Allen's Workload Shrinks in Return to Backup Role

Thursday, November 12, 7:24 AM

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen went from 23 touches against the Las Vegas Raiders to 10 against the Kansas City Chiefs when Breece Hall returned from a quadriceps injury. Allen moves to the bench in 12-team PPR leagues for Sunday's home game against the Buffalo Bills. His production as the lead back makes him worth keeping as insurance behind Hall. In the five games Hall missed, Allen averaged 21.2 touches and rushed for 504 yards and two touchdowns. He topped 100 scrimmage yards in each of the last four games of that stretch. Against Kansas City, Hall ran 15 times and caught three passes for 87 scrimmage yards on 27 offensive snaps. Allen finished with eight carries and two catches for 54 scrimmage yards on 37 snaps. Hall touched the ball on the Jets' first three offensive plays, and Allen took their only carry inside the five-yard line on the same drive. The Jets trailed by two at halftime, and Hall had already handled 13 carries to Allen's six. Both backs got just two carries apiece after halftime.
