Tyler Allgeier is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 9 of the 2024 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add Only as Handcuff
ROSTERED IN: 47% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier handled 12 carries in his team's 31-26 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 8. Despite more than doubling his carry total from Week 7, Allgeier is still a handcuff in a clear backup role. Bijan Robinson is the starter and will handle most of the workload.
Tyler Allgeier rookie season numbers:
• 210 Rush attempts.
• 1035 Rushing yards.
• 64.7 Rush yards per game.
• 4 Total touchdowns.
• 16 Receptions.
• 139 Receiving yards.
• 61 First downs.
• 0 fumbles.Stud.#Falcons #DirtyBirds pic.twitter.com/LdvUaEfbzn

He had an excellent rookie season, but the drafting of Robinson essentially destroyed his fantasy value. There's no reason to roster him outside of very deep leagues except as a handcuff to the lead back. He wasn't particularly efficient with his work this week, but that could have been due to the game script.
The third-year pro likely doesn't have a chance to fight for the starting job, either. Atlanta is highly unlikely to change their backfield usage. Through eight weeks, Allgeier has only taken on a big role during the blowout win of the Carolina Panthers in Week 6. If the Falcons aren't dominating in both phases of the game, then No. 5 will run the show.
