2026 Outlook

Allgeier is considered a sneaky value in Round 9 of fantasy drafts. With uncertainty in Arizona's backfield and questions surrounding other options, he could emerge as a primary early-down runner. While he may not catch many passes, volume alone could push him into RB2 territory if things break right in camp (per 12 Fantasy Football RBs to Draft: Round-by-Round Picks (2026)).

FantasyPros identifies Allgeier as a late-round best-ball target, highlighting his red-zone opportunity despite being blocked from top RB duties by rookie Jeremiyah Love. The article notes Allgeier logged 43.5% share of carries inside the 5-yard line in 2025 despite playing alongside Bijan Robinson, suggesting he could steal significant goal-line work from Love. Key positives: ranked 10th in explosive run rate (2024), 7th in juke rate, strong pass-catcher, solid in pass protection, zero fumbles across 650+ career carries. Massive contingency upside if Love gets injured (per 5 Late-Round Draft Picks to Target (2026)).

Role / Depth Chart

Moved to Arizona Cardinals in free agency (2-year, $12.25M deal) to serve as a primary early-down option and goal-line back. Competing with rookie Jeremiyah Love for carries; Arizona signaled run-heavy approach with these additions and reduction in pass attempts (per 4 potential RB targets for the Falcons in 2026 NFL Draft and 5 Late-Round Draft Picks to Target (2026)).
