Who Should I Start? Tyler Allgeier or Trey Benson

Tuesday, November 25, 11:36 AM

Across 11 games this season, Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has recorded 89 catches for 324 yards and seven touchdowns. As long as star Falcons back Bijan Robinson remains healthy, Allgeier's production upside is limited. However, the Falcons have consistently demonstrated a willingness to use Allgeier in goal-to-go situations, which gives him touchdown-scoring potential every week. Additionally, should Robinson get injured, Allgeier holds fantasy league-winning potential. As the fantasy playoffs draw closer in most leagues, Allgeier is worth rostering for his handcuff upside alone. In the right matchups, such as Atlanta's Week 13 game against the New York Jets, Allgeier has standalone value as a flex option. He should be rostered in all leagues with 12 or more teams heading into Week 13.

According to head coach Jonathan Gannon, Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) will miss Sunday's outing with the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Florida State alum returned to practice last week and worked in a limited capacity as he battles back from a lengthy absence due to a knee injury. Benson would start this week the same; however, he'd be downgraded to a DNP on Thursday, and will now miss his eighth consecutive contest. For what it's worth, Gannon noted that the 23-year-old won't be shut down long-term. With Emari Demercado (ankle) and Bam Knight (knee) also dealing with their own respective injuries, it could be Michael Carter and Jermar Jefferson manning the backfield against the Buccaneers. Jefferson has been active just once for the team and has yet to receive a touch in 2025.
