Tyler Allgeier News
Friday, August 14, 12:19 AM
Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier saw minimal usage behind starter Jeremiyah Love (ankle) in Thursday's 27-14 preseason win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Allgeier operated in a relief role, spelling the rookie, who had 14 touches in the first half. Allgeier himself logged four rushing attempts for 19 yards. After rushing for 1,035 yards as a rookie in 2022, Allgeier looked like an up-and-coming stud running back until the Falcons drafted Bijan Robinson the next season and made him their featured back. Allgeier left Atlanta as a free agent and signed a two-year deal with Arizona on March 9, only for the Cardinals to select Love with the third overall pick in the NFL Draft two months later. Love is expected to be Arizona's starting running back, but Allgeier could still figure prominently in a timeshare. Allgeier's next chance to make his case for more touches will come on August 22 when the Cardinals face the Dallas Cowboys.

Jaylen Wright News
Friday, August 14, 7:50 PM
Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II had seven carries for 39 yards in the 20-7 preseason loss to the Washington Commanders. Gordon split carries and snaps with Jaylen Wright, while starter De'Von Achane handled every snap for the first-team offense. The second-year back outperformed Wright in their first preseason action, averaging 5.6 yards per carry to Wright's 3.7. While Achane is expected to be the Dolphins' workhorse back in 2026, Gordon has a chance to win the backup running back job if he can string together solid production over the rest of the preseason. Currently ranked RB83 in RotoBaller's position rankings, Gordon could be a player to snatch late in deeper leagues.
