The Atlanta Falcons (3-4) will visit the New England Patriots (6-2) in Week 9. 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 9?
Allgeier is not on the injury report and, barring a surprise, is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Allgeier in Week 9?
Tyler Allgeier cashed in a garbage-time carry, so if you played him last week in hopes of such a thing, you got there, even if the garbage time was the polar opposite of your expectation.
He’s a good handcuff in a sporadic offense, a combination that gives him zero weekly utility and means he’d carry some risk even if he were to land the lead role.
He’s ranked easily outside of my top 35 this week: if you’re in a super deep league, I’d rather roll the dice on the boom/bust receivers that are widely available, even in formats like that.
