BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 46% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Tyler Allgeier remains available in over 50% of all leagues even though he continues to perform efficiently while functioning in a timeshare with Cordarrelle Patterson. Both backs have operated with similar workloads since Patterson resurfaced in Week 9 after the 31-year-old had recovered from his knee injury. He has also attained a 45.6% snap share since Week 9 but Allgeier’s share nearly matches Patterson’s (44.3%).
The workloads that have been distributed to both backs since Week 9 have also remained comparable, as Patterson has accumulated 50 attempts, while Allgeier has carried 47 times. Allgeier has also generated 54 additional yards (280/56 per game) while Patterson has manufactured 226 yards (45.2 per game).
Allgeier also led Atlanta's backfield with a 53% snap share, carried 10 times, and has now garnered 10+ attempts during nine of his 12 matchups. He also exceeded 50 rushing yards for the seventh time in his last 10 games when the Falcons hosted Pittsburgh.
Neither Allgeier nor Patterson is utilized sizably as receiving weapons in an offense that ranks second in run-play percentage (56.3%). However, Allgeier’s ability to generate yardage with his weekly allotment of carries can provide fantasy managers with a viable flex option - after the Falcons return from their bye.
