Who Should I Start? Tyler Allgeier or RJ Harvey

Tuesday, September 16, 1:17 PM

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson is the clear star of Atlanta's backfield, but Tyler Allgeier is also a big part of the team's ground game, as evidenced in the 22-6 Week 2 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday Night Football. Robinson went off for 22 carries and 143 rushing yards while also catching three passes for 25 yards, but Allgeier wasn't far behind with 16 rushing attempts for 76 yards and a touchdown. He also caught his only target for a four-yard pickup through the air. Allgeier won't always be this heavily involved, but the Falcons leaned on their ground attack in a game that they never trailed. Twelve of Allgeier's 17 carries came in the second half, and his touchdown plunge sealed the game in the fourth quarter. The 25-year-old will be in play as a flex in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers and deserves to be rostered in more than 30% of Yahoo leagues.

Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey carries flex value heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. While Harvey was competing for the starting job during training camp, the Broncos opted to lean on their veteran, J.K. Dobbins, in the season opener. During their victory over the Tennessee Titans, Dobbins carried the ball all 16 times while Harvey took just six carries. Despite the smaller workload, Harvey was every efficient in his role, totaling an impressive 70 yards, which led the team. Through the air, Harvey caught his lone target for -1 yards. While the No. 3 option, Tyler Badie, could also take opportunities away from Harvey, given his elite efficiency, the rookie should still provide low-end flex value in 12+ team leagues this weekend. However, Dobbins still figures to lead the team in carries.
