Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Tyler Allgeier

Tyler Allgeier (RB – ATL): 16% rostered

  • Next opponents: @TB, SF, @CIN
  • True value: $8
  • Desperate need: $16
  • Budget-minded: $4

Analysis: The touches from the Atlanta backfield were as bountiful as they were evenly distributed in Week 4. The rookie from BYU logged 11 touches for over 100 yards from scrimmage. Cordarrelle Patterson has not been completely healthy, and the other active RB is Caleb Huntley, who also logged 10 carries and scored a touchdown. Patterson is still the starter when healthy, but Allgeier is in line to see his share of the committee grow with continued strong play.
