Tyler Allgeier a Last-Minute Waiver-Wire Add Ahead of Week 6

Saturday, October 17, 2:53 PM

Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier is set to be the team's lead back on Sunday in their Week 6 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Jeremiyah Love (ankle) was ruled out, according to team reporter Darren Urban. Love missed Wednesday and Thursday practices, prompting Mike LaFleur to tell reporters that the rookie's injured ankle will require further rest. Allgeier instantly becomes a waiver-wire pickup and can be slotted into fantasy lineups as an RB2. The 26-year-old enters Week 6 as RotoBaller's PPR RB24 against the Rams. The Rams' defense has allowed the sixth-most rushing yards this season and recently surrendered 111 rushing yards to James Cook on Monday Night Football. Allgeier is no stranger to fantasy points when given heavy volume and should be in fantasy lineups in Week 6.

Chris Brooks News

Chris Brooks Placed on Injured Reserve with Ankle Injury

Saturday, October 10, 12:15 PM

Green Bay Packers running back Chris Brooks (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Brooks had handled a larger snap share through the first four weeks with Josh Jacobs on the commissioner's exempt list, but it amounted to just 15 carries, 70 rushing yards, three catches, and 24 receiving yards. The 26-year-old will now miss a minimum of four games, leaving Green Bay's backfield more short-staffed than ever. We expect to see an unappealing rotation of MarShawn Lloyd, Kaleb Johnson, and Pierre Strong Jr. going forward. Lloyd and Johnson are fine stashes in deeper fantasy leagues, but neither of them is worth starting in Week 5 against the Chicago Bears.
