Who Should I Start? Tyler Allgeier or Tyrone Tracy Jr.

Monday, November 17, 10:20 PM

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has just three carries for 10 yards in his team's Week 11 loss to the Carolina Panthers. However, Allgeier did manage to find his way into the end zone against Carolina for his seventh rushing touchdown of the 2025 season and his fourth in the last four weeks. Across 10 games this season, the 25-year-old has rushed for 280 yards and seven scores on 77 rush attempts. Allgeier remains the clear RB2 in Atlanta behind star running back Bijan Robinson. However, Allgeier has more rushing touchdowns than Robinson and clearly has the trust of the Atlanta coaching staff in short-yardage situations. Allgeier's goal-line role gives him some flex appeal in the right matchups, and he'd profile as a must-start fantasy running back if Robinson were to get injured. Allgeier should be rostered in all fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams heading into a Week 12 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has taken over as the team's lead back over the past two games with Cam Skattebo (ankle) out for the season. After playing fewer snaps than veteran Devin Singletary in Week 9 against the 49ers, Tracy took back the lead role in Week 10, playing 65.7% of the snaps and handling 14 carries for 71 yards, and added one reception (two targets) for no yards. The first half was a struggle for the second-year back, gaining zero yards on five carries, but he bounced back with a strong second half and should have some positive momentum rolling into Week 11 against the Packers. Tracy could catch more passes with a less mobile Jameis Winston filling in for an injured Jaxson Dart (concussion) on Sunday, and ranks as RotoBaller's RB24 in PPR leagues.
