Bijan Robinson
The Atlanta Falcons Run Game is Thriving in 2024
3 weeks ago

Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier are one of the top running back duos as the midpoint of the NFL season is approaching.

The Atlanta Falcons backfield is rounding into form in 2024. Bijan Robinson is the current RB-7 while Tyler Allgeier is getting some flex cuff usage which makes him a valuable stash.

 

Bijan Robinson is averaging 15.5 fantasy points per game which ranks 15th at the running back position. Bijan is 7th in weighted opportunities with 85.3, 6th in targets with 23, and 4th in routes run with 107. The PPR usage is there for Bijan. Of note, Bijan was fully healthy in week 6 where he scored 25.5 fantasy points against the Carolina Panthers which made Robinson RB-3 on the week. 

 

While Bijan Robinson is thriving, Tyler Allgeier is showing why the Falcons are comfortable rotating Robinson out for plays and series throughout each game. Tyler Allgeier was the RB-11 in week 6 with 19.8 fantasy points. Tyler Allgeier is 12th in red zone touches with 16, 6th in true yard per carry with 5.4, and 8th in yards per touch at 5.7.

 

Overall, fantasy gamers are getting plenty of production from the Falcons backfield. Bijan Robinson is a must start every week while Tyler Allgeier is a justifiable flex play as fantasy managers navigate through injuries and bye weeks. In the event Bijan Robinson were to miss time, Tyler Allgeier would enter top-12 status at running back on a weekly basis.
