The Atlanta Falcons will face the Washington Commanders in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Tyler Allgeier.
Is Tyler Allgeier Playing in Week 17?
Allgeier is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Tyler Allgeier in Week 17?
Allgeier has at least nine touches in four straight games, and that makes for a reasonable projection this week if you’re in true desperation mode but nothing more. I’d play him over a Keon Coleman or David Moore type in a Flex decision due to the safety of his touch count, but I’m hoping your playoff matchup doesn’t come to that.
Allgeier has just three scores on his 2024 ledger (136 touches), and with Bijan Robinson at full strength, there’s no real reason to think that an increase in dangerous touches is coming for Atlanta’s RB2.
