Who Should I Start? Tyler Allgeier or TreVeyon Henderson

Saturday, October 11, 3:05 PM

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier garnered 16 rush attempts and rumbled his way to 51 yards and his second touchdown of the season in Week 4. It was his third dose of double-digit carries through the team's first four games, but the fourth-year pro is averaging just 3.6 yards per rush compared to Bijan Robinson's 4.9 YPR. It will be difficult to predict the games where the 25-year-old finds paydirt, so he makes for a dicey Flex play most weeks with such a low YPR, especially if the Falcons have to abandon the run. In Week 3 against the Panthers, the Falcons fell behind early and had to play catch-up, leaving Allgeier with a total of two touches (one rush, one reception). The Bills could present a similar problem for the Falcons on Monday, making the BYU product a risky RB4/Flex option in Week 6.

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson remains relegated to the No. 2 role on the depth chart, but he could still carve out some fantasy relevance against the New Orleans Saints in Week 6. Rhamondre Stevenson lost his third fumble of the season last Sunday, which is one reason why Henderson could be given more opportunities with the football this week. The rookie will also get more snaps and touches after Antonio Gibson (knee) was placed on season-ending injured reserve. While we expect Stevenson to handle the majority of the snaps again this week, Henderson should still carve out a role for himself, especially against a New Orleans defense allowing the 11th-most rushing yards, seventh-most receiving yards, and 12th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Henderson is a low-end RB3/flex this week.
