Should You Start or Sit Tyler Allgeier in Week 13?
Ray Davis, Trey Benson, Braelon Allen. There are a handful of running backs that hold no value when the starter is healthy but are only an injury away from walking into the RB2 tier of my rankings, and Tyler Allgeier is clearly in that mold.
He’s averaging 5.0 yards per carry this season and has proven the ability to pick up yards consistently when given the opportunity (career: 34.7% of carries have gained at least five yards). The schedule lines up nicely when it matters most (Weeks 15-17: Raiders, Giants, and Commanders), and that is enough to justify keeping Allgeier rostered, even if you out-gained him in Week 11.
