Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier (hip) logged a full practice on Thursday and is on track to play in Week 3 when the Falcons play host to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night. Allgeier participated in Wednesday's practice in a limited fashion but has returned to a regular workload on Thursday. Fantasy managers should monitor his status on Friday, but the BYU product should be a full-go this weekend. Through the first two weeks of the season, the 24-year-old has operated as the clear No.2 running back behind standout Bijan Robinson. Allgeier remains one of the most valuable handcuffs in fantasy football but should not be relied upon weekly, given his limited role in the Atlanta offense.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier (hip) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Allgeier has been a solid complement to Bijan Robinson in the Falcons' backfield thus far this season. The Falcons' run game was particularly potent in Monday night's victory against the Philadelphia Eagles. Allgeier carried the ball nine times for 53 yards in Week 2. He has 12 carries for 74 yards on the season. If Allgeier is limited or cannot play this weekend then Robinson projects to see an even larger workload than usual.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier saw more work in Week 2 in the team's win over Philadelphia. Allgeier garnered 10 touches with nine carries for 53 yards and one catch for 12 yards. It was a solid game for the Falcons' backup running back behind Bijan Robinson and a positive sign moving forward. Allgeier is a good runner and would be a valuable commodity with more opportunities. However, with Robinson dominating the workload it is tough to see too much standalone value for Allgeier in fantasy. But the BYU product still should be rostered in most fantasy leagues due to his potential should Robinson get injured or should he become more of a focal point of the offense.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier rushed for 1,035 yards in his 2022 rookie season, but that didn't stop the team from selecting Bijan Robinson in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Allgeier spent last season as a secondary ball carrier for Atlanta, rushing 186 times for 683 yards and four touchdowns. With former head coach Arthur Smith gone, many believe Robinson will become a true workhorse running back, but Falcons writer Daniel Flick predicted Allgeier could see roughly 14 carries per game in 2024. He clarified that Robinson could see about 16 carries per game plus work in the passing attack, but it's worth noting Allgeier is likely to remain involved in the offense. Given the high injury rate at the running back position, Allgeier is worth stashing in deeper setups. If Robinson has to miss any action this year, Allgeier would be moved into the starting role behind a top-tier offensive line as a part of an ascending offense under new quarterback Kirk Cousins.

Atlanta Falcons running back Carlos Washington Jr. ran for 25 yards on 16 attempts and found the end zone in a 20-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins Friday night. The average yards per attempt at 1.6 yards was underwhelming for the second-year running back, but he made up for it by finding the end zone on a strong one-yard rush in the first quarter. With Bijan Robinson as the clear RB1 and Tyler Allgeier as the clear RB2, along with Jase McClellan and Avery Williams ahead of him on the depth chart. A lot would have to happen for the 25-year-old to get anywhere near the field this season. The fact he led the team in rushing attempts should be a positive sign moving forward for Washington.

New Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson says that running back Tyler Allgeier is "certainly going to have a big role."Robinson also says there will be certain points this year where the Falcons will lean on him. Despite the selection of star tailback Bijan Robinson in the first round of last year's NFL draft, Allgeier sustained a prominent role on the ground with 186 rushing attempts in 17 games last season. The 24-year-old former fifth-round pick out of BYU should remain a decent bet for double-digit carries on a weekly basis this season, but he'll be awfully dependent on touchdowns without much usage in the passing game. Atlanta's offense also figures to be more modernized with quarterback Kirk Cousins at the helm in 2024, so Allgeier is better suited as a handcuff for Robinson's fantasy managers than as an RB3/flex starter to begin the season.

Dynasty | The Atlanta Falcons drafted Alabama running back Jase McClellan in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. Dynasty Analysis: In the end, most scouts likely looked at McClellan and felt he was more of a product of dominance around him than a truly elite-level talent. He'll look to carve out a role behind Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier but McClellan looks like a final round pick at best in most rookie drafts.
