Allgeier's red zone usage was the difference between Robinson being a great pick and him challenging CMC for the RB1 overall crown. Allgeier is now gone and replaced by Brian Robinson Jr., who was out-carried 71-10 by CMC in the red zone last year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Robinson gains red zone volume with Allgeier's departure; could challenge for RB1.

Robinson ceded 143 carries and 14 catches to Tyler Allgeier last year, but the distribution matters more than the raw number. Allgeier ran 31 times in the red zone and seven times at the goal line versus Robinson's 32 and seven attempts. Robinson gave away 40 expected fantasy points and 50.6 actual PPR points in the red zone. With Allgeier gone and replaced by Brian Robinson Jr., who was out-carried 71-10 by Christian McCaffrey in the red zone last year, Bijan should reclaim red zone volume. This red zone usage shift is the difference between Robinson being a great pick and him challenging McCaffrey for the RB1 overall crown.
