The Atlanta Falcons will visit the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16. 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 Allgeier Playing in Week 16?
Allgeier is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Allgeier in Week 16?
With eight touchdowns this season, Tyler Allgeier has been more a pair in the side of Bijan Robinson managers than a realistic flex option and that’s the bucket in which I have him in this week as well.
Last week was the sixth time this season in which Atlanta’s RB2 has been held under five carries and with 48.5% of his PPR points coming on touchdowns, there’s far more risk than reward in flexing a profile like this.
Maybe he scores and threatens double digit points. At best, that’s keeping you competitive, a ceiling that isn’t of interest to me with a near zero floor that could result in you being sent home.
