Who Should I Start? Tyler Allgeier or Isaac Guerendo

Saturday, December 6, 12:39 PM

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier continued his improbable run of scoring a touchdown on limited production last week, rushing just eight times for 20 yards (2.5 yards per carry), but found the end zone for the eighth time this season. His eight touchdowns are a team-high total, and he'll get a chance to keep it rolling in Week 14 against the Seahawks. It will be tough sledding, though, against a Seattle defense that has yielded the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, which is a result of an 88.8 opponent rush yards per game average and 3.8 yards per attempt, both the second-lowest marks in the league. Still, Allgeier has managed to defy the odds to this point given his modest output, so he's as good a dice roll as any out there for fantasy managers in need of an RB3/Flex play this week.

San Francisco 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo was thrust into action in his rookie season in the NFL in 2024 because Christian McCaffrey missed most of the year due to injuries. Guerendo finished with 84 rushing attempts for 420 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games (three starts) and also chipped in 15 catches on 16 targets as a pass-catcher for 152 yards. Fantasy managers probably viewed him as a pretty valuable handcuff for the injury-prone CMC going into 2025 drafts, but the Niners' acquisition of Brian Robinson Jr. before the season pretty much killed whatever fantasy appeal he had. Through the first seven weeks of his sophomore campaign, the 25-year-old former fourth-rounder has yet to play an offensive snap with CMC and B-Rob both staying healthy. Instead, Guerendo has been limited to a special teams role, returning five kickoffs for a combined 100 yards.
