Who Should I Start? Tyler Allgeier or Kendre Miller

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was a non-factor in Week 15's 29-28 win over the Buccaneers, rushing just twice for 18 yards, and did not receive any targets in the passing game for the first time since Week 10. The BYU product is tied for the team lead in touchdowns with eight, but has limited fantasy appeal if he's not finding the end zone. Week 16, however, could bring a solid chance to score, as the Falcons go up against an Arizona defense that has yielded the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs and has allowed 35 points per game to opponents over their last three games (second most). Atlanta has an implied total of 25 points in this one, so there should be a few touchdowns scored, and the 25-year-old projects as a low-floor Flex play who currently has the third-best odds of scoring out of all the Falcon playmakers (+140).

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 7 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday and will miss the rest of the year, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. It's a tough blow for Miller and for the Saints' backfield depth behind starter Alvin Kamara. The 23-year-old had ascended into the biggest role of his career in his third year in the league as the direct backup to Kamara, carrying the ball 47 times for 193 yards (career-best 4.1 yards per tote) and a touchdown while adding five catches on five targets for 30 yards as a pass-catcher through seven games. Miller has been plagued by the injury bug since entering the NFL as a third-rounder in 2023, as he missed 20 of a possible 34 games in his first two seasons. With Miller now sidelined until next year, rookie Devin Neal becomes the primary handcuff option for Kamara's fantasy managers.
