Should You Start or Sit Allgeier in Week 11?
With the game on the line, the Falcons elected to pound Tyler Allgeier and were rewarded for it.
The late touchdown drive is what got the attention because it meant that Atlanta was resting Bijan Robinson, but the first red zone carry of the game went to Allgeier, something that indicates that this was more of a plan than anything else.
The backup RB has a career-high six rushing scores this season, five of which have come in his past six games. The touch count rarely overwhelms, the versatility is limited, and the scoring equity on this offense isn’t always there, but he’s been fine when called upon.
I still can’t get to ranking him as a player I’m comfortable flexing. He’s little more than a 50/50 bet to clear six touches, and with his limited ability to make splash plays, you’re betting a little too much on a short score for my liking.
You have a top-20 RB should Robinson ever miss time, but without that happening, Allgeier isn’t going to crack my top 30.
