Tyler Allgeier

Tyler Allgeier rushed nine times for 32 yards and a touchdown in the Falcons’ Week 14 loss to the Vikings.

With the Falcons increasingly trying to hide Kirk Cousins, Allgeier’s nine carries were his most in three weeks. His 63 yards on the ground were his most in seven games. Week 15 opponent Las Vegas has a solid run defense, but so does Minnesota. It’s clear the Falcons are going to run as much as possible until either Cousins’ arm falls off or he gets benched. That could happen this week. Regardless, with bye weeks over, No. 2 back Allgeier will never project for enough work to garner genuine FLEX status.
