Tyler Allgeier News
Friday, August 14, 12:19 AM
Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier saw minimal usage behind starter Jeremiyah Love (ankle) in Thursday's 27-14 preseason win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Allgeier operated in a relief role, spelling the rookie, who had 14 touches in the first half. Allgeier himself logged four rushing attempts for 19 yards. After rushing for 1,035 yards as a rookie in 2022, Allgeier looked like an up-and-coming stud running back until the Falcons drafted Bijan Robinson the next season and made him their featured back. Allgeier left Atlanta as a free agent and signed a two-year deal with Arizona on March 9, only for the Cardinals to select Love with the third overall pick in the NFL Draft two months later. Love is expected to be Arizona's starting running back, but Allgeier could still figure prominently in a timeshare. Allgeier's next chance to make his case for more touches will come on August 22 when the Cardinals face the Dallas Cowboys.

Zach Charbonnet News
Wednesday, August 12, 10:40 AM
Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet is hard to trust for September, but he is still worth remembering late in redraft leagues. Charbonnet ran 184 times for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns last season, with seven of those scores coming on 16 carries from inside the five-yard line. He also caught 20 passes for 144 yards. The problem is obvious: Charbonnet tore the ACL in his left knee during Seattle's divisional-round win over San Francisco and did not have surgery until Feb. 20. He remains on the PUP list, and the Seahawks have said a Week 1 return looks unlikely. Seattle also used the 32nd overall pick on Jadarian Price, so Charbonnet will not simply walk back into the job Kenneth Walker III left behind. George Holani and Emanuel Wilson are part of the mix, too. Even so, Charbonnet is a 6-foot-1, 220-pound back who already showed Seattle can trust him near the goal line, and RotoBaller has him all the way down at RB60. If your bench is deep enough to wait on him, there is still useful second-half upside here.
