The Atlanta Falcons (2-2) will host the Buffalo Bills (4-1) in Week 6. 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.

Should You Start or Sit Tyler Allgeier in Week 6?
I remain steadfast in my belief that Tyler Allgeier is one of the 32 best running backs in the NFL, but that doesn’t matter if you’re playing behind a top-five guy, and that’s the situation in Atlanta.
Allgeier has been handed the ball 10+ times in every game this season besides the 30-0 loss to the Panthers. He owns a very narrow range of outcomes, and that can be useful in ultra-specific spots, but with just two teams on a bye, hopefully Week 6 isn’t one of those spots for you.
He’s one of my three favorite handcuffs in the game, but that doesn’t mean he’s holding standalone value in most situations.
