Spin: Allgeier logged 11 carries during the Falcons' Week 10 OT loss to the Cardinals, but he was far less involved in the running game during Sunday's loss. Bijan Robinson led the way for the Falcons with 143 yards and two rushing touchdowns on 27 touches, but Allgeier punched in a one-yard touchdown run of his own late in the second quarter to salvage his fantasy production. Allgeier is now up to seven rushing touchdowns through 10 regular-season games, which is as many as he accumulated across the 2023 and 2024 regular seasons combined. Next up for the Falcons is a Week 12 road clash against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 23.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Allgeier is entering his fourth NFL season, including his third straight as Bijan Robinson's backup/running mate. With Robinson taking on a larger role in 2024, Allgeier hit career-low marks in snap share (28%), carries (137) and targets (13). He cleared 12 touches only once (an 18-point win in Week 6), which was also his only game with more than 12.3 fantasy points. The 25-year-old clearly has no standalone fantasy value and, though he's limited as a pass catcher, he'd certainly be positioned for a hefty chunk of Atlanta's carries in the event of a Robinson injury. Allgeier is a fine late-round insurance flier.
