Funny that:Tyler Allgeier will get a minimum of 200 carries this season, which would allow him to duplicate his exact fantasy stats from 2022. This will make him a steal at his ADP. Heck, he’s still available on some WWs.
Atlanta ran for 559 carries last season so there’s a large pie to slice from. Bijan will be the alpha, but probably be eased in to some extent during his rookie season. Yes Bijan will get the lion’s share by season’s end, but he’s not going to do it all by himself. Allgeier established himself as a competent runner last season and the coaching staff loves him. Cordarrelle Patterson is 32. This sets up for tons of opportunity for Allgeier, and I’m shocked that most of the internet seems to be sleeping on him. Guess the Bijan hype is responsible for that.
Additionally, Allgeier will be a league winning RB 1 if Bijan goes down, but Bijan is very durable, so I consider that unlikely and based my prediction above as though Bijan will play the entire season.
Has been pretty much spot on maybe minus the actual production results of said touches
I just dropped Allgeier in both of my leagues just before Sunday for Henderson because I'm a Kyren owner in both and wanted to take a stab at the Rams backup, and because I considered the overall Falcons rushing production to be abysmal. Seven games into the season, Allgeier already has 96 carries and is on pace for 233, but yeah, it's not translating to production as he currently only has a 3.1 yards per carry and both of his TDs on the season happened in week one.
On a related note: it's interesting to me that Bijan doesn't have a rushing TD yet and only has 81 carries to Allgeier's 96. How are the Falcons 4-3?
Many thanks for the props though.
