BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 59% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Arthur Smith’s steadfast commitment to the ground game has elevated Atlanta to second overall in run play percentage (56.1%), and fourth in rushing attempts per game (33).
Smith’s penchant for running the ball presents the opportunity to invest in Tyler Allgeier with the knowledge that he should receive enough carries to be deployed as a flex. Allgeier has averaged 11.3 attempts per game and eclipsed 10+ carries in seven of his nine games.
That includes four games while Cordarrelle Patterson was sidelined with his knee issue (Weeks 5-8) when Allgeier averaged 14.5 attempts and 46.3 yards per game. Patterson re-emerged for Atlanta’s Week 9 matchup with the Chargers and has generated 62 yards on 18 attempts since his return.
Allgeier’s workload will not match the 14.5 per game average that he attained during Patterson’s absence. However, he did accumulate a season-high 99 rushing yards in Week 9 while operating in a rotation with Patterson.
Caleb Huntley and Avery Williams could also siphon carries, but Smith’s reliance on the run should provide enough opportunities for Allgeier to function as a resource as bye weeks, injuries, and other challenges deplete your roster options.
