NegativeDepth ChartSep 15, 2026
Allgeier appears destined to be relegated to a true backup role by Jeremiyah Love; he should not be expected to produce much against the Seahawks' loaded defense.PositiveUsageSep 15, 2026
Out-touched rookie Jeremiyah Love 19-to-14 in Week 1, establishing early-season dominance in the Falcons backfield despite Love's draft pedigree as the No. 3 overall pick.PositiveRoleSep 14, 2026
Played 57% of snaps and 31% of routes with 17 carries for 61 yards and 2 receptions for 9 yards on 2 targets. His 25.4% target share is solid, but his 17% air yard share is low, and he was outsnapped by Jeremiah Love (44% snaps), suggesting a timeshare in the Cardinals backfield.PositiveValueSep 9, 2026
Recommended as streaming option for shallow leagues (under 60% rostered); home matchup against Los Angeles Chargers provides Week 1 RB streaming opportunity.NegativeProjectionSep 8, 2026
Would be in the low-end RB2 range with guys like Rhamondre Stevenson and Quinshon Judkins if Jeremiyah Love (ankle) is unable to suit up; if the No. 3 overall pick is good to go, it's tough to expect much from Allgeier inside an offense that likely will be trailing and isn't exactly expected to light up the scoreboard.PositiveRoleSep 8, 2026
With Jeremiah Love working his way back from a high ankle sprain and expected to have limited usage in Week 1, Tyler Allgeier is positioned to see plenty of carries as the team works Love back into the mix.NegativeRoleSep 2, 2026
The NFL's all-time leader for most career touches without a fumble (737) and earned PFF's second-highest pass-blocking grade among RBs in 2025; the problem is it's tough to expect any standalone value as long as Jeremiyah Love is healthy, and even if the rookie misses time, this offense doesn't possess sky-high scoring upside.PositiveValueAug 24, 2026
Allgeier at ADP 148.5 (RB45) offers solid value as a 13th-round pick with flex appeal in redraft. The source highlights Arizona's shift to a run-heavy approach after last year's pass-heavy offense, noting the team spent real coin on Allgeier in free agency and drafted Jeremiyah Love (ankle) third overall. While Love deals with a high-ankle sprain that could cost early-season time, Allgeier was never expected to have a monopoly on the backfield; he can take on volume when called upon and has best-ball appeal due to short-yardage ability and touchdown upside (5-6 TDs projected).PositiveValueAug 24, 2026
Allgeier is rostered in less than 20 percent of ESPN leagues despite being the team's projected Week 1 starting running back. He signed a two-year, $12 million deal in early free agency, a timeframe when Arizona was discussing drafting Jeremiyah Love, indicating the Cardinals clearly value Allgeier in some capacity. He profiles at minimum as the team's preferred goal-line option and will see too much volume to be this far off the consensus' radar, even with Love's high draft capital and the team's poor Super Bowl odds.NegativeRoleAug 20, 2026
Not quite as clear RB2 behind Jeremiyah Love with James Conner still around in an offense that could be very bad; ranked RB13 backup value.NegativeRoleAug 19, 2026
Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier's involvement is flagged as a key trend to monitor early in the season under new playcaller Giff Smith, as the team is expected to see more motion, more run plays, and fewer play-action passes relative to last year under Drew Petzing.NegativeRoleAug 19, 2026
Signed two-year, $12.3 million contract with Arizona to finally be the lead back, but Cardinals drafted Jeremiyah Love third overall just two months later, immediately thrusting Allgeier back into a backup role. Source notes Allgeier has experience with pony packages (two RBs) from his time with Bijan Robinson in Atlanta, but his lead-back opportunity has been compromised by the Love selection.NegativeRoleAug 17, 2026
Tyler Allgeier out-carried Jeremiyah Love 3-2 in the Cardinals' preseason opener despite Love playing 7 of 10 snaps with the first-team offense. The injury to Love is a boost for Allgeier's opportunity, though Hartitz notes he'd rather chase a more clear handcuff in better offenses like Ray Davis or Tank Bigsby in traditional leagues, given the Cardinals offense is not expected to produce weekly fireworks.NegativeRoleAug 17, 2026
Allgeier subbed in on the first drive, taking three straight carries, then took a fourth carry on the second drive before not playing thereafter. He's competing with Love for the starting role.NegativeValueAug 13, 2026
Tyler Allgeier is ranked 137th in ADP but Yahoo's default ranking places him at 158.2, a -21.2 ADP gap indicating significant overvaluation by the market relative to Yahoo's algorithmic assessment.PositiveRoleAug 11, 2026
Tyler Allgeier will be no worse than the RB2 to RB1 Jeremiyah Love in a run-heavy Arizona offense; of the two, Allgeier likely projects better for short-yardage and goal-line work, positioning him as a sleeper with path to outperform acquisition cost.NegativeDepth ChartAug 10, 2026
Allgeier is listed as the starting RB on Arizona's first unofficial depth chart, but depth charts are notoriously unreliable early in the offseason; the source notes that Bijan Robinson once started as an RB3 and Justin Jefferson behind Adam Thielen. Even a 60/40 split favoring the other back could be problematic in a Cardinals offense ranked 31st by Vegas. Running backs in bad offenses can produce top-12 PPR numbers, but Allgeier's involvement around the goal line could limit his upside.NegativeValueAug 10, 2026
Tyler Allgeier has an ADP of 132.5 with a -20.7 differential, showing overvaluation relative to high-stakes formats where he ranges from 144.1 to 165, indicating he is priced too high in standard ADP.NegativeUsageAug 7, 2026
Tyler Allgeier was deployed in 21 personnel (dual-halfback) packages under Zac Robinson in Atlanta; Robinson used 21 personnel 9.16% of the time (96 plays) in 2025, with these formations entirely comprised of pony packages featuring both Bijan Robinson and Allgeier. The Falcons deployed these packages more than any other team last year.NegativeUsageAug 7, 2026
Allgeier was used in pony packages (21 personnel) with Bijan Robinson in Atlanta last year; the Falcons led the NFL in pony usage at 9.6% of snaps, providing a comparison for how the Buccaneers may deploy two-RB formations with Kenneth Gainwell.PositiveRoleAug 6, 2026
Allgeier has moved +6.5 spots to ADP 156 (a +4.0% change) since the beginning of camp; he is reportedly getting a lot of first-team reps in the Cardinals backfield.
