Tyler Allgeier Remains a Dynasty Buy-Low Candidate

Friday, June 5, 12:21 PM

After spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Atlanta Falcons, running back Tyler Allgeier signed a two-year, $12.25 million contract with the Arizona Cardinals this past March. At the time of signing, Allgeier looked like the RB1 in Arizona. However, the Cardinals used the third overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on highly-touted running back prospect Jeremiyah Love. It's an ironic twist of fate for Allgeier, who spent most of his time in Atlanta in a complementary role to Falcons running back Bijan Robinson. Still, Allgeier found ways to be productive in Atlanta, collecting 1,851 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns on 466 carries while playing with Robinson over the past three seasons. If Love needs some time to develop at the NFL level, Allgeier is more than capable of stepping in. Even if Love hits the ground running, Allgeier profiles as one of the best handcuff running back options for dynasty managers. In dynasty leagues, Allgeier may still be worth buying low on heading into 2026.

Trey Benson News

Trey Benson a Dynasty Hold Despite Unfavorable Situation

Sunday, May 31, 9:00 AM

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson remains largely unproven since the team spent a third-round pick on him in the 2024 NFL Draft, and with the investments made at the position in the 2026 offseason, that seems unlikely to change as he heads into his third professional season. The Cardinals spent $8 million in guaranteed money to land Tyler Allgeier in free agency before using the third overall pick on top prospect Jeremiyah Love. With James Conner also back in the fold after, like Benson, missing most of the 2025 season, Arizona features one of the most loaded running back rooms in the league. With the depth ahead of him muddying Benson's chances of even finding value as an insurance back, dynasty managers could be tempted to move on from the underperforming Day 2 pick, but at RotoBaller's dynasty RB59, he remains a hold as there's still a chance he could land in a more optimal situation if the Cardinals opt to move him or any of their other backs before the season starts.
