News: 6 days agoAllgeier recorded 16 carries for 76 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-6 win over the Vikings. He added one reception on one target for four yards.

Spin: The Falcons led for the entire game but truly took control in the second half. As a result, 12 of Allgeier's carries came in the final two quarters, and he took advantage by tallying gains of 17 and 13 yards as well as finding the end zone five yards away in the final five minutes of game time. Allgeier will likely need this type of game script to be fantasy relevant, though that could occur again in Week 3 against Carolina.

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.
