Outlook Tyler Allgeier

Tyler Allgeier at Dallas — Complementary Role in a High-Scoring Environment

Allgeier continues to work as Arizona's complementary ball carrier behind Jeremiyah Love on the depth chart. While he handled 26 carries over the past two weeks, he has struggled for efficiency, averaging just 2.2 yards per attempt with limited big-play upside.

In a projected high-scoring road matchup against Dallas where Arizona is listed as an underdog, negative game script could tilt touches toward the passing game. We project Allgeier for roughly 10 carries, 32 rushing yards, and two receptions for 9.4 fantasy points, positioning him primarily as a deep-league option rather than a standard lineup lock.
