The Atlanta Falcons will visit the New Orleans Saints in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Tyler Allgeier.
Is Tyler Allgeier Playing in Week 12?
Allgeier is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Falcons’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Allgeier in Week 12?
For the fifth time this season, Tyler Allgeier punched in a touchdown from six yards or closer, but it is worth noting that the other four Atlanta RB red zone touches went to Bijan Robinson in the overtime loss to the Panthers.
Nothing has changed.
Allgeier is a bail-out flex play if you’re really stuck, but with no more than six touches in four of his past five games, you really are just chasing a short-range score.
If there’s a week to do it, it’s in a competitive script like this where the offense is adjusting to Kirk Cousins, but I still think you’re looking at single-digit touches, and that makes him a thin option (my RB36).
