Tyler Allgeier got 9 carries to Bijan Robinson's 14 in Monday night's win over the Eagles. His 10 touches (including a reception on his only target) vs. Robinson's 18 marked a big difference from Week 1. Robinson got the ball 23 times to Allgeier's three against the Steelers. Robinson proved efficient on his Week 2 touches, rushing for 97 yards (6.9 per carry) and catching four of his 5 targets for 25 yards (6.3 per catch). Allgeier produced as well: 9-53 rushing (5.9 per carry) and 12 yards on his lone catch.
Allgeier's snap share was nearly identical in Week 2: 21% compared with 18% in the opener. His opportunity share changed dramatically, though: from 6.4% in Week 1 to 17.5% against the Eagles.
We should probably expect Allgeier's work share to remain closer to his Week 2 level than Week 1, especially given how effective both players were against Philly.
The Week 2 shift doesn't alter the fantasy outlook for Robinson, though there are bound to be weeks where Allgeier vultures a TD.
Ultimately, the Falcons' improved offensive performance of Week 2 likely matters more than Allgeier's touch count.
Robinson's superior receiving skills should play especially well in challenging matchups with the Chiefs and Saints the next two weeks.
Allgeier will struggle to present standalone value in most fantasy formats but could be a bye-week fill-in option if he continues to get this level of work share.
