Who Should I Start? Tyler Allgeier or Cam Skattebo

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier continued to carve out standalone value in his role behind Bijan Robinson throughout the 2025 season. Allgeier had his ups and downs, making it difficult to know when to start or sit him. His role wasn't exactly matchup dependent or even game script dependent, so he spent most of the season as a risky RB3/flex in a boom-or-bust role. However, on a positive note, he played all 17 games and finished with yet another solid stat line. He rushed for 514 yards and eight touchdowns on 143 carries, posting a new career-high in touchdowns as he vultured a lot of Robinson's goal-line work. He also caught 14 passes for 96 receiving yards. Allgeier ranked as the overall RB39 in PPR leagues, and he has now posted a top-43 finish in each of his four NFL seasons. Robinson's steady availability has left Allgeier in a backup role, but it's worth noting that he's arguably the most valuable fantasy handcuff and would jump to the top-12 range if Robinson were to miss time. Between his modest standalone value and his upside as Robinson's backup, Allgeier will continue to be a solid fantasy option for 2026. In dynasty leagues, he's a "hold" for most managers, but he's an important "buy" for managers with Robinson on their roster.

New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2025, recording 617 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns on 125 touches across eight games played. However, the 23-year-old had his first NFL campaign cut short in Week 8 when he suffered a dislocated right ankle that required season-ending surgery. While Skattebo will be coming off a significant injury, Giants general manager Joe Schoen recently said that the team expects him back for organized team activities in the spring. That bodes well for Skattebo's 2026 outlook, as he should have a full training camp to re-integrate himself into New York's offense. Before getting injured, Skattebo had surpassed fellow Giants back Tyrone Tracy Jr. on the team's depth chart. While New York will have an entirely new coaching staff in 2026, Skattebo feels like a safe bet to re-assume a lead rushing role, particularly around the goal line. As long as he progresses as expected in his rehab, Skattebo's fantasy stock in both redraft and dynasty formats should be trending upwards after his encouraging rookie year.
