Should You Start or Sit Tyler Allgeier in Week 7?
Do we owe Arthur Smith an apology?
Allgeier is the clear leader in our boom/bust metric (simply the rate of 10+ yard rushes compared to the rate of carries that failed to gain yardage) at 5.9% and is fresh off of his first top-30 fantasy finish of the season.
Allgeier’s snap-rate splits:
- Weeks 1-3: 20.7%
- Weeks 4-6: 38.5%
We aren’t yet to the point where I’m ranking him as a viable stand-alone asset (Week 6 was his first game with more than 10 touches this season), but we aren’t far from it. It wouldn’t shock me if he was again productive against an overrated Seahawks defense that gave up 228 yards on the ground last week to the 49ers.
