Tyler Allgeier News
Monday, October 5, 5:58 PM
Across four games in 2026, Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier has recorded 147 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 42 touches. After starting Arizona's first two games of the season, Allgeier has given way to Cardinals rookie back Jeremiyah Love (ankle). The third overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, Love clearly profiles as the future of the Arizona backfield. However, Love battled an ankle injury during the preseason, and it was revealed on Monday that he is battling renewed ankle discomfort. Allgeier has proven he can be productive when given the opportunity, as he rushed for over 1,000 yards as a rookie in 2022. If Love ends up missing time, Allgeier could work his way into must-start territory in a favorable Week 5 matchup against the awful Detroit Lions defense. With Love's health uncertain, fantasy managers may want to target Allgeier on the waiver wire.

Cam Skattebo News
Wednesday, October 7, 10:33 AM
New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo (undisclosed) was participating in a red non-contact jersey during practice on Wednesday, according to Art Stapleton of The North Jersey Bergen Record. It is unclear what injury Skattebo is dealing with, but we will pass along any details when they become available. Because he appears to at least be practicing on a limited basis in the team's first practice of the week, Skattebo should be available this weekend with the Giants traveling to Washington to face the division-rival Commanders on Sunday. The 24-year-old former fourth-rounder from Arizona State had 18 carries in Sunday's Week 4 win over the Arizona Cardinals, but it led to just 58 rushing yards. He added one catch for eight yards. Skattebo is averaging an underwhelming 3.5 yards per carry and has just one touchdown through four games in his sophomore season, but he has had at least 18 carries in three of the four games, with his volume as New York's RB1 giving him RB2 value in fantasy football leagues. He already has eight catches for 67 yards as well.
