BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3/Low-end Flex
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier led the team in rushing last week and should be viewed as a low-end flex option on Thursday evening.
Through the first three weeks of the season, Allgeier averaged just 35.3 yards per game and saw only one target in the passing game. However, in Week 4, the 24-year-old totaled 60 yards on the ground and caught both of his targets for an additional 20 yards.

In this game, he logged 21 snaps, which was his highest mark of the campaign so far.
Fantasy managers should monitor Bijan Robinson's (hamstring) status during the week as he was limited during Monday's and Tuesday's practice sessions. Given the short week, Allgeier may be deployed as the 1B this week compared to his typical No.2 role.
If Robinson suits up, Allgeier should be viewed as a low-end flex option, but if he does not play, Allgeier immediately becomes a low-end RB1 option.
