Who Should I Start? Tyler Allgeier or Tank Bigsby

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier (hip, knee) is officially questionable to play in Week 8 against the Miami Dolphins, per Josh Kendall of The Athletic. Even while stuck behind star running back Bijan Robinson in Atlanta, Allgeier has been a productive player so far this season. Across six games, the 25-year-old has rushed for 203 yards and three touchdowns on 57 carries. If Allgeier cannot play in Week 8, Robinson could be in line for an absolutely monstrous game in a very favorable matchup against the Dolphins. Miami has allowed the most rushing yards (1,115) and third-most rushing touchdowns (nine) in the NFL. Should Allgeier be able to go, he profiles as a high-end flex option for fantasy managers in Week 8.

The Philadelphia Eagles just traded for Tank Bigsby on Monday, and the former Jaguar is currently listed as the third running back on the depth chart. He was far outpaced by Travis Etienne Jr. in Jacksonville's first game, and was splitting touches with Bhayshul Tuten as well. Bigsby only managed 12 yards on five carries against the Panthers in Week 1, which clearly didn't impress the Jaguars front office enough to keep him on the roster. Eagles backup RB Will Shipley (rib) is officially out for the upcoming contest against Kansas City, clearing the runway a bit for Bigsby, but probably not enough for any real fantasy production. Shipley and AJ Dillon combined for 13 snaps on offense against Dallas last week, while Saquon Barkley totaled 50. With a star like Barkley ahead of him, Bigsby should not be considered for lineups in Week 2.
