Allgeier saw just two touches for four total yards in the Falcons’ blowout loss to the Panthers. As the team’s grinder back, he saw little run as the offense played from behind the entire game. The Falcons pulled their starters late and rookie Nathan Carter got all the touches on the final Atlanta possession. Allgeier saw just six snaps on the day and although better days are ahead, he is far behind Robinson in terms of fantasy utility. He is a handcuff value for fantasy purposes moving forward.

The Falcons were able to control the flow of the game throughout, something that allowed the team to bully their way to a win behind 39 combined rush attempts versus just 21 pass attempts. The increased backfield usage propelled Allgeier to 16 carries behind the 22 of lead back Bijan Robinson, although it was Allgeier that found paint late in the fourth quarter for the only touchdown of the game. Allgeier won’t carry weekly fantasy value outside of games that play out similarly to this one, but managers that need help with looming bye weeks could do worse than stashing Allgeier to start in potential positive game environments.

Allgeier, along with backfield mate Bijan Robinson, was bottled up all day against a stout Tampa front seven.
