News: 7 days agoAllgeier turned five carries into 10 yards and caught both of his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks.

Spin: Allgeier saw a substantial reduction in his rush attempts in Week 2, going from 17 carries Week 1 versus the Chargers to only having five in Sunday's blowout loss. The running back and the rest of Arizona's offense never found any sort of sustained success against Seattle, so he was far from being the only disappointing player in the contest. Notably, rookie first-rounder Jeremiyah Love garnered four more carries and reeled in one more catch than Allgeier, and the latter figures to fade into a No. 2 role as the season progresses.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Allgeier signed with the Cardinals during free agency. The 2022 fifth-round NFL draft pick impressed as a rookie in Atlanta, totaling 1,174 yards on 226 touches, but he hasn't come close to those marks while playing second fiddle to Bijan Robinson over the past three seasons, and he has yet to produce a top-25 fantasy campaign. Allgeier did score eight touchdowns last season, but he remains a nonfactor as a receiver, never clearing 18 catches in a season. The 26-year-old will step into a similar role in Arizona, as the primary backup and change-of-pace option behind No. 3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love. Same as in Atlanta, Allgeier has no standalone value, but he's a very good insurance stash.
