Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier recorded double-digit carries for the second time in three weeks in Sunday's 31-26 win over the Buccaneers, but was able to gain just 33 yards on his 12 totes. His 2.8 yards per carry was a far cry from the 5.7 YPC he averaged heading into the game and it was the first time since Week 3 that he failed to attract even a single target in the passing game. Bijan Robinson was the preferred option there, hauling in all six of his targets for 37 yards while gaining 63 yards on the ground on 13 attempts (4.8 YPC), just one more carry than Allgeier. The involvement in the rushing game is promising, but unless he finds the end zone, the 24-year-old back is nothing more than a low-end Flex option and handcuff for Robinson managers.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (head) has entered concussion protocol following Monday's Week 8 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tracy was banged up repeatedly on Monday as he hurt his shoulder in the first half, returned to the game, injured his head, and then was taken to the locker room. After his second injury, he did not return to the contest, finishing Week 8 with 145 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown on 20 carries. He also caught two of three targets for an additional five yards through the air. Tracy has taken over as the Giants' top running back, but his impressive stretch could be put on hold if he remains in concussion protocol and misses Week 9. In such a scenario, Devin Singletary would lead the Giants' backfield, jumping to the low-end fantasy RB2 tier against a subpar Washington Commanders run defense.
