Allgeier signed with Arizona as a free agent with aspirations to be the top back alongside James Conner, but the Cardinals drafted Jeremiyah Love No. 3 overall, relegating Allgeier to a complementary role. Coach Mike LaFleur has communicated the plan openly with the entire backfield. Allgeier, who previously fit into a big-back, short-yardage role in Atlanta, is now splitting time in a committee mentality with Love and Conner during training camp.

Allgeier is the front-runner to lead the Cardinals' running back room heading into the season; he has continued to work with the first team during training camp despite the Cardinals drafting Jeremiyah Love with the No. 3 overall pick in 2026. Allgeier signed a two-year, $12.25 million deal with Arizona to become their starting running back a month before the draft. New offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett indicated Love has work to do as a rookie, suggesting Allgeier maintains the lead role. Allgeier has a track record of producing in a congested backfield, rushing for at least 500 yards and three touchdowns in each of the three seasons behind Bijan Robinson in Atlanta after a 1,035-yard rookie season in 2022.

Cardinals could take a similar approach at RB to Y1 Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier Love will handle the bulk of the carries but may not be overloaded Take: Would be similar to many recent 1st round RBs. This could be a situation where its 60-40 to start and gradually gets to 70-30 or 75-25 as the season goes on. Via @​Tdrake4sports

Currently operating as RB1 in first-team drills. Community views him as a capable veteran (described as 'great player') but notes his presence doesn't guarantee Love won't take over. One commenter recalls Allgeier getting 186 carries in 2024 while Bijan Robinson got 214 in his rookie season, suggesting both can coexist in the backfield. Allgeier is not injury-prone and is a 'locker room guy' per comments, but his role remains unclear in a crowded backfield.

Allgeier is a late-round target at RB47 (133rd overall) with minimal downside despite the Cardinals drafting Jeremiyah Love third overall. Allgeier has proven he sees far more involvement than expected even when assumed to be the backup to a talented rookie, as he was in Atlanta behind Bijan Robinson. Rookies, even highly drafted ones, rarely start the season with a full workload, so Allgeier could be a thorn in Love's side just as he was to Robinson's. If the Cardinals start Love off slowly, Allgeier could be a steal.

Allgeier is positioned as red-zone vulture in committee. Took red-zone touches from Bijan Robinson (RB3 last year) and will absolutely vulture Love. Multiple comments highlight Allgeier's proven ability to steal goal-line carries; one says 'Allgeier took redzone touches from Bijan freaking Robinson. He will absolutely vulture the shit out of a rookie.' Expected to handle red-zone carries and short-yard TDs. Community sees him as depth piece or late-round value; one comment calls him 'Allgeier league winner.' Practically free in drafts; one comment notes he was 'really good as a rookie' and should have been Atlanta's lead back instead of Bijan.

JJ Zachariason expresses concern about the Cardinals' backfield split with Jeremiah Love, particularly given Arizona's brutal early-season schedule (Chargers, Seahawks, 49ers). The Cardinals could struggle to run the ball early and may hit negative game scripts, making Allgeier potentially non-viable. Zachariason doesn't think it's a worthwhile bet when there are players in his range who can naturally carve out bigger roles, and he expects Allgeier to be touchdown-dependent in this situation.
