BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~137 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~159
ANALYSIS: There may not be a more important handcuff in fantasy football than Allgeier, who is set to back up Bijan Robinson for the second straight season in Atlanta.
Last year, Allgeier was a thorn in the side of managers who drafted Bijan Robinson as he managed to get 186 rushing attempts and 18 receptions despite being the "backup" to Robinson.
Well, the Falcons fired Arthur Smith - who is now in Pittsburgh - and are rolling with Zac Robinson as their offensive coordinator this year under new head coach Raheem Morris.

Most expect Robinson's touches to increase this year - at the cost of Allgeier's, but that remains to be seen. And even if Allegeir's touches do go down, he was used often last year near the goal line, scoring four rushing and one receiving touchdowns.
Allgeier will have a role in this offense and is worth drafting in the later rounds for the sheer upside that he would possess if Robinson were to get hurt and he would take over as the RB1 in Atlanta.
