BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier scored a touchdown last game, but it was much more relevant for managers of lead back Bijan Robinson than those of Allegeier. No. 25 is still just a handcuff. He carried the ball just six times for 18 yards and his score.

He's a solid NFL back. But he just won't get the opportunities to have much fantasy success as long as Robinson is healthy. In blowout games, the Falcons will likely use the third-year back as their closer. They will face the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, who are a team decimated by injury.
This may look like it'll be a blowout on its surface, but Atlanta hasn't had a great defense, so even a banged-up NO offense with elite offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak running the show could score a respectable number of points on Atlanta. There are very few paths toward fantasy relevance for Allgeier this week.
He's still best thought of as a player that only Robinson managers should have on their rosters in case of an injury to the starter. In that case, Allgeier would be a RB3/FLEX with RB2 upside in a great offense.
