BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Arthur Smith has remained committed to the deployment of Caleb Huntley and Allgeier in a rotation during Cordarrelle Patterson‘s ongoing absence.
Algeier has now accumulated 28 attempts during his last two contests, including his 15 carries in Week 6. Allgeier has also averaged 60 yards per game since Week 4, including the 51 that he generated during Atlanta’s Week 6 matchup with San Francisco.
Huntley did not register an offensive snap throughout his 2021 rookie season and only played on three snaps entering Atlanta’s Week 4 matchup with Cleveland. However, he has now carried 10+ times and generated 50+ yards in two of Atlanta’s last three contests. He also led the Falcons with 16 carries/59 rushing yards in Week 6 while establishing career highs in both categories.
Huntley provides a physical presence that should keep him involved in the distribution of touches until Patterson reemerges. Allgeier will also garner a respectable weekly workload, and should remain in Atlanta’s rotation even after Patterson (knee) and Damien Williams (ribs) have resurfaced.
Their roles in Atlanta’s reshaped backfield elevate both backs among your flex candidates on this week’s waiver wire.
