Tyler Allgeier Highly Inefficient on 19 Touches in Week 9

Sunday, November 8, 4:33 PM

Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier rushed for just 46 yards on 17 carries during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. He also caught two of his three targets, but they resulted in net zero receiving yards. Allgeier operated as the Cardinals' No. 1 running back with Jeremiyah Love (ankle) and Bam Knight (concussion) inactive. While he did handle the volume of a typical lead back, his overall production (or lack thereof) was frustrating for fantasy managers. Most notably, he averaged just 2.7 yards per carry, which was a big step backward from his 13.4 YPC the week prior. He now has fewer than 2.75 YPC in six of his nine games this year. The schedule doesn't get any easier for Allgeier, as he'll head into a tricky Week 10 matchup against a Rams defensive front led by Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald.

Jonathon Brooks News

Jonathon Brooks' Week 10 Status is TBD

Monday, November 9, 9:35 AM

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Monday that the team is taking the next two days to discuss running back Jonathon Brooks' (abdomen) status, according to Mike Kaye of ESPN. Brooks has been on Injured Reserve due to a core-muscle injury since Week 2, but he was seen working off to the side during practice last week and could have his 21-day practice window opened on Wednesday. If the 23-year-old former second-rounder from Texas is officially cleared to return to practice this week, he could be a candidate to come off IR to play this weekend on the road against the division-rival New Orleans Saints. Despite Brooks' lengthy injury history -- he has torn his ACL twice since entering the NFL -- he is worth stashing as an RB handcuff to Chuba Hubbard in Carolina's backfield for the rest of the season. If he is unable to gain clearance to return in Week 10, Brooks' next chance to play will come in a Week 11 tilt at home against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, Nov. 22. In the first two games this year before his injury, Brooks had only nine carries for 30 yards (3.3 yards per attempt) and two catches for 43 yards (21.5 yards per reception) as a receiver.
