Should You Start or Sit Tyler Allgeier in Week 18?
Allgeier has 11 single-digit carry games this season and is pretty clearly Robin to Bijan Robinson’s Batman.
At this point, he’s probably less than a “Robin,” but my movie knowledge is very limited, so that’s the best I’ve got for you.
In Week 6’s meeting with the Panthers, this was much more of a committee situation. Allgeier out-carried Robinson and he led the team with 105 rushing yards, a role that is very much a thing of the past. Atlanta has come around to the idea of Robinson being the focal point of its offense, and I can’t imagine that changes in a must-win spot.
Allgeier has caught all 11 of his targets; that’s great, but just 86 routes run through 17 weeks is more concerning than the perfect catch rate is encouraging. He’ll again rank as an elite handcuff in 2025, nothing more.
