2024 Player Outlook
Tyler Allgeier had his breakout rookie season in 2022 with over 1,000 yards rushing but the addition of Bijan Robinson in 2023 saw him come back to earth with only 683 yards rushing in 17 games. His 186 carries was actually only 24 fewer than he saw the previous year thanks to head coach Arthur Smith but his efficiency plummeted from 4.9 yards per attempt to 3.7 with Robinson taking more of the touches in space vs. short yardage. A change in coaching staff in 2024 could see an even further reduction of Allgeier's role so he's more of a handcuff to Robinson at this stage than he is a standalone option.

Tyler Allgeier had nine rushes for 52 yards in the Falcons’ Week 18 loss against the Panthers, adding two catches for 17 yards.
Tyler Allgeier rushed three times for 19 yards in the Falcons’ Week 17 loss to the Commanders.
Bijan Robinson handled the bulk of the opportunities for the Atlanta backfield in the first half and both backs failed to see many opportunities after the break as the Falcons struggled to move the football. Even so, Allgeier’s three touches paled in comparison to the 20 of Robinson, with the former likeliest to see additional run in second halves of games the team controls handily.
Tyler Allgeier rushed 11 times for 22 yards in the Falcons’ Week 16 win over the Giants.
Allgeier added a nine-yard reception. Now seemingly hard-capped in the 8-12 carry range as Bijan Robinson breezes by 20 on a weekly basis, Allgeier has lost any illusion of standalone value even as the Falcons look to protect rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr.
Tyler Allgeier rushed 12 times for 43 yards in the Falcons’ Week 15 win over the Raiders.
Allgeier saw 12 of 37 team carries on a night the Atlanta defense completely locked down the injury-riddled Raiders for over three quarters, leading to the opportunity for additional rushing volume. Allgeier remains a shaky week-to-week fantasy bet playing behind one of the most dynamic pure rushers in the game, likely needing an injury to Bijan Robinson to return usable fantasy scores.
