Who Should I Start? Tyler Allgeier or Chris Collier

After spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Atlanta Falcons, running back Tyler Allgeier signed a two-year, $12.25 million contract with the Arizona Cardinals this past March. At the time of signing, Allgeier looked like the RB1 in Arizona. However, the Cardinals used the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on highly-touted running back prospect Jeremiyah Love. It's an ironic twist of fate for Allgeier, who spent most of his time in Atlanta in a complementary role to Falcons running back Bijan Robinson. Still, Allgeier found ways to be productive in Atlanta, collecting 1,851 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on 466 carries while playing with Robinson over the past three seasons. If Love needs some time to develop at the NFL level, Allgeier is more than capable of stepping in. Even if Love hits the ground running, Allgeier profiles as one of the best handcuff running back options for dynasty managers. In dynasty leagues, Allgeier may still be worth buying low on heading into 2026.
