BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 47% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Tyler Allgeier’s availability has gradually increased since Cordarrelle Patterson re-emerged from the knee injury that sidelined him from Weeks 5-8. However, he is operating with a sufficient number of carries to provide fantasy managers with a deployable flex option.
Allgeier was averaging 14.5 attempts per game while Patterson was unavailable, and produced 185 yards (46.3 per game). However, he is still averaging 9.3 attempts per game since Patterson has resurfaced and has and has been more efficient with his opportunities (228 yards/57 yards per game/6.2 yards per attempt).
Patterson has carried 39 times since Week 9 (9.8 per game) while assembling 166 yards (41.5 per game/4.25 per attempt). That includes his numbers in Week 12 when Allgeier and Patterson both carried 11 times while the tandem accumulated 106 rushing yards (Allgeier-54/Patterson-52). Even though Caleb Huntley and Avery Williams seemingly loomed as candidates to siphon carries, they have combined for just two attempts since Week 11.
Allgeier will remain involved in a rotation with Patterson within an Atlanta offense that currently ranks second in run play percentage (56.6%). This will position Allgeier to accumulate fantasy points while providing a solution for anyone who has encountered a roster dilemma.
