BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ team leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier remains one of the best handcuffs in fantasy. However, the third-year back doesn't have much standalone value in most leagues. Allgeier has scored under eight PPR fantasy points in four straight games and has only eight catches on the year.
As a result, he should only be started in 14-plus team leagues this weekend against the Broncos. Opposing running backs are only averaging 3.8 yards per carry on the ground against Denver this season, and Allgeier has only seen double-digit carries in three of 10 games this season.
Percentage of carries to gain 3+ yards after contact this season:
Best:
Tyler Allgeier (51%)
Chuba Hubbard (50%)
Bucky Irving (50%)
Tony Pollard (49%)
Braelon Allen (48%)Worst:
Rachaad White (30%)
D'Andre Swift (29%)
James Cook (29%)
Zack Moss (28%)

The good news for Allgeier is that three of those double-digit carries have come in the past six weeks. He also saw three consecutive carries at the goal line in last week's loss, so the potential is there for him to be a flex play in deeper leagues. Still, he's a very touchdown-dependent option in Week 11.
