News: 1 day agoAllgeier compiled 17 carries for 46 yards and caught two of three targets for no yards during Sunday's 17-3 defeat at Seattle.

Spin: Allegeier has reeled off 10-plus touches in four straight contests, a span in which he's turned 65 touches into 334 yards from scrimmage and two total TDs. He's been the beneficiary of repeated ankle injuries to rookie first-round pick Jeremiyah Love, who must remain on IR for at least three more outings after Sunday's matchup, and the other current top RB on the active roster (Bam Knight) is in the concussion protocol, which will require clearance from an independent neurologist for his next game action. As a result, Allgeier is set up to retain a significant workload until Knight gets the all clear to return.

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.
