Tyler Allgeier A Risky Fantasy Play In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier disappeared in Week 11, not recording a single carry after the team quickly fell behind to the Broncos and abandoned the run.

Bijan Robinson A Mid-Range RB1 In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson ranks within the top 10 in fantasy scoring at the RB position and has a solid weekly floor given his heavy involvement in the passing game (45-359-1 in 11 games).
