STM Take
A power-back complement locked into the backup role.
The case for
- Rookie 2022 produced 1,035 rushing yards on 4.9 YPC, a starter-grade sample that established his floor as a power-back complement.
- Career goal-line and short-yardage usage gives him standalone TD-dependent value; he has averaged 4-6 rushing TDs per season since Bijan's arrival.
The worry
- Three straight tier 8 finishes since Bijan's 2023 arrival shows the role is locked at backup. The STTM arc (#54, #40, #58) is essentially flat with year-to-year noise.
- Six of his last eight 2025 games scored under 9 PPR. Bijan's lock on lead duties through 2027 caps the ceiling for the foreseeable future.
What to watch: Whether Allgeier's goal-line role survives 2026 or whether Atlanta gives the short-yardage work to Bijan to maximize his volume.
Full take and bio
Three straight tier 8 finishes (#54, #40, #58) confirm the post-Bijan ceiling: power-back complement with one or two spike weeks per season. Wk 13 2025's 13.5 PPR was the year's high point; six of his other 2025 games scored under 9 PPR. He is what he has been since 2023, and Atlanta's commitment to Bijan as the lead is the structural ceiling.
Allgeier came out of BYU as Atlanta's 5th-round pick (151st overall) in 2022 after a 1,601-rushing-yard senior season that earned him 1st-team All-Independent honors. His rookie 2022 produced 1,035 rushing yards on 4.9 yards per carry, the high point of his NFL career and a meaningful 5th-round value find. The 2023 Bijan Robinson draft completely reshaped his role, and he has spent three seasons since as the power-back complement to Bijan, taking goal-line and short-yardage carries while the lead role belongs to Robinson.
