Who Should I Start? Tyler Allgeier or Zach Charbonnet

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was a non-factor in Week 15's 29-28 win over the Buccaneers, rushing just twice for 18 yards, and did not receive any targets in the passing game for the first time since Week 10. The BYU product is tied for the team lead in touchdowns with eight, but has limited fantasy appeal if he's not finding the end zone. Week 16, however, could bring a solid chance to score, as the Falcons go up against an Arizona defense that has yielded the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs and has allowed 35 points per game to opponents over their last three games (second most). Atlanta has an implied total of 25 points in this one, so there should be a few touchdowns scored, and the 25-year-old projects as a low-floor Flex play who currently has the third-best odds of scoring out of all the Falcon playmakers (+140).

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet draws a great matchup with the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. The Panthers are No. 25 against opposing running backs in fantasy, and Charbonnet's role as the goal line running back should allow him to have a crack at the end zone against this vulnerable defense. Charbonnet's nine touchdowns this season have propelled him to a flex-worthy season. When he scores, he generally has a solid day for fantasy. His efficiency has been low all season, but in good matchups, he is generally able to rack up a respectable amount of yards. Look for the Seahawks' offense to have success against this defense all day. Charbonnet would be a risky play, as you are betting on a touchdown. However, if Charbonnet is going to score in any week, it would be in this matchup with the Panthers.
