Who Should I Start? Tyler Allgeier or C.J. Stroud

Monday, October 28, 10:33 AM

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier recorded double-digit carries for the second time in three weeks in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers, but was able to gain just 33 yards on his 12 totes. His 2.8 yards per carry was a far cry from the 5.7 YPC he averaged heading into the game and it was the first time since Week 3 that he failed to attract even a single target in the passing game. Bijan Robinson was the preferred option there, hauling in all six of his targets for 37 yards while gaining 63 yards on the ground on 13 attempts (4.8 YPC), just one more carry than Allgeier. The involvement in the rushing game is promising, but unless he finds the end zone, the 24-year-old back is nothing more than a low-end Flex option and handcuff for Robinson managers.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud returned to his efficient ways on Sunday against Indianapolis, completing 25 of 37 attempts for 285 yards and a touchdown in a 23-20 victory. The Ohio State product had no turnovers and completed passes to eight different receivers for Houston. Unfortunately, Stroud may be without another member of his talented receiver corps, as Stefon Diggs (knee) departed the game with a non-contact injury. Top target Nico Collins (hamstring) will be on injured reserve for at least another week. The second-year quarterback and the Texans will travel to play the New York Jets in Week 9.
