Tyler Allgeier moved up to RB1 on the Cardinals depth chart on Nov 4. He was RB2 before the change and is now the primary running back after Jeremiyah Love was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a high ankle sprain that will sideline him four to five weeks.

Allgeier exploded in Week 8 against Dallas with 11 carries for 147 yards and one touchdown, plus five catches for 44 yards and another score on five targets, posting 33.6 half-PPR points on 59 per cent of snaps. He is now Arizona's lead back for at least the next four weeks and should be started in all formats, including this Sunday at Seattle, who have allowed 19.6 half-PPR points a game to running backs, the 15th most of 32.

Tyler Allgeier

Allgeier's promotion makes him Arizona's primary runner after a dominant Week 8 showing. Over his last three games he has averaged 15.1 half-PPR points on 54 per cent of snaps, 12.3 carries and 3.3 targets a game. His Week 8 workload included 11 carries and five targets against Love's nine carries and no targets, with Bam Knight far behind on three carries and two targets. With Love sidelined, Allgeier will handle the early-down and scoring work for at least the next month.

His recent surge comes with some regression risk: he is scoring 4.2 half-PPR points a game above what his usage predicts over his last three games, the sixth-best mark of 111 running backs, pointing to touchdown or big-play luck that may not repeat. Still, his 2.3 carries inside the 20 a game rank 29th of 112 backs over that stretch, and the role security is worth more than his recent scoring. Our models project 8.1 half-PPR points a game and rank him 29th of 116 running backs (Roundup Score 63 out of 99, 92nd overall), but that baseline rises with Love out and Allgeier handling the bulk of the work.

What to do

• Start Tyler Allgeier in all formats this week at Seattle and for the next four weeks with Jeremiyah Love on injured reserve.

• Expect 12 to 15 carries and three to four targets a game while Allgeier serves as Arizona's primary running back.

• Monitor Bam Knight's role for any increase in passing-down work, though Allgeier should handle the majority of both early-down and receiving opportunities.
