2024 Fantasy Outlook
Allgeier drew the ire of Bijan Robinson fantasy investors in 2023, repeatedly poaching valuable usage from the exciting rookie, though Allgeier is a legitimate NFL running back in his own right. After all, Allgeier ran for over 1,000 yards as a rookie in 2022 at a clip of 4.9 yards per carry, comfortably exceeding expectations for a fifth-round pick. He's also done well for himself as a pass catcher when given the chance, bringing in 34 of 40 career targets for 332 yards (8.2 YPT) and two TDs. Despite the positives, Allgeier is a candidate to see his workload reduced for the second year in a row, with Robinson potentially taking on a larger share of the touches in an Atlanta offense that figures to run less often after jettisoning head coach Arthur Smith and adding QB Kirk Cousins. That will likely resign Allgeier to fantasy benches, even in deeper leagues, as an injury to Robinson now seems like the only realistic path to considerable volume/value. Read Past Outlooks

Tending to hip issue
Allgeier was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hip injury, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After a quiet three carries Week 1, Allgeier was a bit more involved behind starting running back Bijan Robinson on Monday at Philadelphia, turning 10 touches into 65 yards from scrimmage. Robinson so far is averaging 20.5 touches per game through two contests, but it appears there's still room for Allgeier to get in the Falcons' backfield mix. Still, Allgeier is working through a health concern this week, making his status worthwhile to watch to get a sense of his availability ahead of a matchup with the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.

RW's Jerry Donabedian assesses the fallout from various backfield injuries and role changes in Week 2, highlighting Carson Steele, Cam Akers, Chuba Hubbard and others as potential fantasy beneficiaries.
Week 2 was memorably brutal for injuries, but it wasn't all bad news for fantasy thanks to some young WRs getting elite usage and taking advantage. Jerry Donabedian has the scoop on everything Week 2.
With A.J. Brown (hamstring) unavailable, DeVonta Smith becomes extremely difficult to fade against Atlanta on Monday.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Allgeier was an uncommon player at BYU: a power back who specialized in long touchdown runs. One might think he was a burner of some sort, or it would be difficult to explain how he kept running so far away from so many defenders. His 4.60 40 implied that his explosive collegiate production might have been a product of the scheme or the level of competition, but the fifth-round pick continued to make big plays as a rookie for Atlanta last year. Not only did Allgeier (5-11, 220) surpass 1,000 rushing yards, he did it with standout efficiency (4.9 YPC), buoyed by three carries of 40-plus. Producing 40-yard carries at that rate is something normally seen from the likes of Chubb, Taylor, Henry, Etienne, etc., so for Allgeier to be in that class at all is encouraging. The Falcons will remain run-heavy in 2023 under coach Arthur Smith, but Allgeier now shares the backfield with eighth overall pick Bijan Robinson, who presumably won't need long to claim more work than the likes of Cordarrelle Patterson and Caleb Huntley accounted for last year. It might take a Robinson injury for Allgeier to get enough work to be worthy of fantasy lineups.

Ranked top-10 RB by MJD
Following Week 1 action, NFL.com analyst Maurice Jones-Drew ranks Allgeier eighth in the first edition of his list of the NFL's top 15 running backs.
ANALYSIS
Allgeier checks in five spots ahead of rookie teammate Bijan Robinson. Jones-Drew, who led the NFL in rushing during the 2011 season, views Allgeier as the steadier of the two Atlanta running backs following one week on NFL play. After combining for 177 of Atlanta's 221 net yards and three touchdowns in Week 1, both Allgeier and Robinson should continue to play prominent roles for the Falcons moving forward.
