Tyler Allgeier a High-Volume Waiver Wire Target for Week 2

Monday, September 14, 6:19 AM

Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier has solidified himself as an intriguing fantasy football option for the next few weeks. Allgeier led the backfield in touches on Sunday, logging six more carries than Jeremiyah Love. He was less efficient than Love, and the rookie vultured a touchdown from him. However, we saw that he can handle a workload of 17-20 touches as the Cardinals gradually phase Love into the offense. We expect to see a similar backfield split again in Week 2, leaving Allgeier in the RB3 range for fantasy football. He has a little bit of PPR upside after catching two passes on Sunday, and his 17-carry workload suggests that he could've gotten some touchdown opportunities in Week 1 if things had fallen into place a little differently. A matchup against the Seahawks' defense is never easy, but we like Allgeier's odds to play a steady role for all four quarters in a projected close game.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Facing an Uphill Battle for Playing Time

Thursday, September 17, 12:58 PM

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. had a disastrous showing in his team's Week 1 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Tracy Jr. recorded just two carries and lost a fumble in the second quarter, which led to him being benched for the remainder of the game. While Tracy Jr. topped 1,000 scrimmage yards in both 2024 and 2025, he has a new coaching staff in 2026 and now appears to be behind both Cam Skattebo and Devin Singletary on the Giants' running back depth chart. Once fellow Giants back Najee Harris is fully up to speed with the team, Tracy Jr. may fall to the RB4 spot and could even be a candidate to be released. At this point, a change of scenery would almost certainly be the best thing for Tracy Jr.'s fantasy value. Barring a trade, his release, or at least one injury in the Giants' backfield, Tracy Jr. should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in redraft leagues.
