BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB4/RB5
ANALYSIS: Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier has only had one game with a major role this season, and that was in the 38-20 blowout win against the Carolina Panthers in Week 6. He followed that 19.8 PPR fantasy point performance by scoring just 5.5 points in a blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7.
He logged just five carries and one reception. When the game is close or the Falcons are losing, lead back Bijan Robinson will carry the load. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be their opponent in Week 8, and despite huge losses to their offense -- Chris Godwin (ankle) is done for the year, and Mike Evans (hamstring) won't play this week -- the game could still be competitive.
In part because #Falcons trailed for much of Week 7, Bijan Robinson out-snapped Tyler Allgeier 50-17.

Allgeier is a handcuff and a closer. He has solid efficiency, so it might seem like he's in line for an expanded role, but Atlanta has clearly showed us how they plan to use their backs, and fantasy managers should take notice. No. 25 could have a big game here and there, but for the most part he won't see enough playing time to make an impact in fantasy.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]
