Tyler Allgeier rushed 17 times for 46 yards in the Cardinals’ Week 9 loss to the Seahawks, gaining zero additional yards on two receptions.

In what was the first game as the clear starter for the Cardinals in the absence of both Jeremiyah Love and Bam Knight, Allgeier was contained to only 2.7 yards per carry as the offense managed under 200 yards of total offense against the stingy Seattle defense. Fantasy managers that were quick to scoop Allgeier off of waivers heading into Week 9 are surely to be disappointed with the returns, particularly considering Knight had largely outperformed the former prior to missing Week 9 with a concussion. Expect a near-even split backfield once Knight returns, which appears likely to be in Week 10 when the Cardinals face another difficult test in the Rams.
