ANALYSIS: Allgeier's stock was already surging following the career-best numbers that he attained in Week 4. The placement of Cordarrelle Patterson on injured reserve (knee) has now vaulted Allgeier among this week's top three options to targets on all waiver wires.
Allgeier was inactive during Atlanta’s season opener before the rookie averaged 8.0 attempts and 27.5 yards per game in Weeks 2-3. Allgeier also carried 10 times for the second time in three weeks, when the Falcons hosted Cleveland, and his 84 rushing yards easily surpassed his previous season-high. Allgeier also completed the game with 104 total yards, after assembling 20 yards with his lone reception.
Arthur Smith had deployed Patterson extensively from Weeks 1-3 (49 attempts/16.3 per game), and the 31-year Patterson had also ascended to third overall with 302 yards (100.7 per game). He had also been contending with a knee issue, and registered season-lows in carries (nine), and rushing yardage (38) against the Browns.
Second-year back Caleb Huntley tied with Allgeier for the team lead with 10 carries and generated his first career touchdown. However, Allgeier remains a strong candidate to commandeer the largest workload within Atlanta's backfield while Patterson while remains unavailable.
Allgeier is available in over 85% of all leagues, and the combination of his promising performance and his expanding role have launched him among this week’s most enticing backs to prioritize for your rosters.
