Tyler Allgeier 2026 Fantasy Football Outlook: New Situation Complicated by Top Prospect
Former Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier had a so-so 2025 season in his fourth year with the team. Allgeier's rushing yards fell to just 514 despite playing all 17 games. Moreover, his efficiency dropped, as he averaged just 3.5 true yards per carry, down from 4.6. He still finished as the RB45 on a per-game basis, though, due to his eight touchdowns. Allgeier now joins the Arizona Cardinals after signing a two-year deal worth $12.25 million. Though the solid payday suggested he'd start for the squad over James Conner and Trey Benson, the Arizona backfield transformed when the Cardinals drafted former Notre Dame star Jeremiyah Love with the third pick in April. Love was drafted to be the team's top tailback, but Allgeier is clearly part of Arizona's plans as well. Allgeier had nine games with double-digit carries a year ago behind Bijan Robinson, and he could see a similar workload situationally this year as a powerful back. With Allgeier going as the RB44 in drafts, though, is that a chance worth taking at his current price? Given his decline in efficiency and the promise of his new teammate, the answer right now is "no."
