Tyler Allgeier A Solid Flex Play In Week 7
2 months agoAtlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier broke out with 105 rushing yards on 18 attempts and added one score in last week's contest versus the Panthers. While it was an outstanding performance, fantasy managers shouldn't expect that on a weekly basis. However, Allgeier is averaging 5.5 yards per carry, which is sixth-best in football, so the 24-year-old has probably earned himself double-digit carries from here on out. Week 7's matchup with Seattle has one of the highest projected totals on the slate, and while Atlanta may prefer to pass (58.8%), these teams both have some of the highest pace-per-play rates in the NFL, so there should be plenty of offensive opportunities on both sides. Additionally, the Seahawks have been gashed on the ground on multiple occasions this year, even allowing Jordan Mason and Isaac Guerendo to combine for 172 yards rushing last week. Fire up Allgeier as an RB3/flex play this week against a Seattle team yielding 5.0 yards per carry, which is fourth-worst in all of football.
