Fantasy Football Player Notes

One of these seasons, Bijan is going to string together multiple huge performances. Watching his dynamic playmaking ability on Thursday Night Football against the Buccaneers, just reminded everyone why he may be the best running back in the league right now. Finishing the week as a top 5 back, he had 19 carries for 93 yards and a score, along with eight catches on 11 targets for 82 yards. Only behind CMC in targets and receptions at the position, Robinson is primed to stay hot into the fantasy playoffs. This week, he faces the Cardinals, who are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to the RB position over the last five weeks. This is a great matchup for the superstar RB.

Tyler Allgeier is a solid flex play again this week. Allgeier has averaged 8.8 touches and 35.4 total yards this season with eight top-36 finishes among running backs in weekly scoring. Among 45 qualifying backs, Allgeier ranks 18th in explosive run rate and 33rd in missed tackle rate. Arizona's run defense has been engaged in a competition with the pass defense over the last few weeks to see who can play worse. Since Week 11, you could argue that the run defense is winning, giving up the fourth-highest explosive run rate, the fifth-most rushing yards per game, the fourth-highest missed tackle rate, and the fifth-most yards before contact per attempt.
