Over two games without Jeremiah Love (ankle), Allgeier narrowly out-snapped backup Bam Knight 78 to 75 but Knight led the backfield with 20.5 PPR points to Allgeier's 13.7. Allgeier averaged a paltry 2.2 YPC on 26 carries with a long run of seven yards, while Knight ranked third in missed tackles forced rate (31.8 percent) and second in yards after contact per attempt (4.45 YCO/ATT), averaging 5.8 YPC. In goal-to-go situations, Knight has earned five opportunities to Allgeier's three, and Knight's seven targets lead the Cardinals' backfield. With Love getting back-to-back limited practices, he is likely to be active this week; even if sidelined, Allgeier will be hard to trust as anything more than a boom-or-bust RB3.NegativeRoleOct 23, 2026
Allgeier is a sit as he is splitting reps with Bam Knight rather than seeing every touch. He earned a disappointing 53 percent carry share last week and ran just under half of the routes. He even ceded the team's only goal line carry to Knight. Allgeier is simply the leader of a committee on the No. 24 scoring offense.NegativeUsageOct 22, 2026
Tyler Allgeier's Week 6 spot start did not go as planned; he failed to even reach a season-high snap percentage and was shockingly out-gained by Bam Knight even with Knight dealing with full body cramps during the second half. Allgeier did double Knight up in routes despite Knight out-catching him 2-1. Allgeier should still be forecast for a snaps and touches advantage, but he has company and can no longer be considered a plug-and-play RB2 for however long Jeremiah Love's ankle absence drags on.PositiveRoleOct 20, 2026

Allgeier is the Cardinals' trusted option on passing downs, having run 68 routes to Jeremiyah Love's 55 this year. He saw eight carries in Week 4 and scored from 22 yards out. Love appears to have sustained a right lower-leg/calf injury at the end of the first half; even if minor, any reduction in Love's playing time would open a path for Allgeier to increase his touch totals.NegativeRoleOct 1, 2026
Allgeier is being left in the rear-view mirror by Jeremiyah Love in the Cardinals' backfield hierarchy, as Love handled 26 of the backfield's 32 touches in Week 3.NegativeRoleSep 30, 2026
Allgeier's role diminished significantly in Week 3 as Jeremiyah Love took over the Cardinals backfield. Allgeier saw only two carries to Love's 21 and was relegated to the primary two-minute drill back role, though he did add four catches. His usage is now clearly secondary to Love.NegativeValueSep 28, 2026
Tyler Allgeier is listed in the Early Waivers Look as a running back rostered in less than 50% of Yahoo leagues.NegativeRoleSep 28, 2026
Allgeier's role is diminishing as Jeremiyah Love takes over the Cardinals backfield. In Week 3, Allgeier was out-touched 26-6 and out-gained 109-9 by Love. While Allgeier has not been fully mothballed and played 31 snaps against the 49ers, the Cardinals are clearly prioritizing their No. 3 overall pick.NegativeUsageSep 28, 2026
Allgeier was dominated by Jeremiyah Love in the Cardinals backfield, receiving just six touches to Love's 26. This 26-6 split is a split that even Bijan Robinson struggled to create with Allgeier over four years, signaling a significant shift in the Cardinals' backfield hierarchy.NegativeRoleSep 24, 2026
Allgeier is competing with Jeremiyah Love for touches in the Falcons backfield. Love out-snapped him in Week 2 but Allgeier is still getting work.NegativeUsageSep 17, 2026
Allgeier received a heavy workload in Week 1 when the Cardinals ground out a surprise victory over the Chargers. The source expects the Cardinals will need to lean more on Jeremiyah Love's play-making ability in Week 2 vs. Seattle.NegativeUsageSep 14, 2026
Allgeier out-carried Jeremiah Love 17-11 in Week 1, though both backs got red zone opportunities and Love was the only one to cash in. Love also saw four targets to Allgeier's two. Love was working through a preseason ankle injury, so the Cardinals eased his workload. The source notes the Cardinals face brutal matchups with the Seahawks and 49ers coming up, making it hard to imagine Allgeier pushing close to 20 touches in either of his next two games. He will be a two-down RB4 for Week 2.PositiveUsageSep 11, 2026
Kyle Dvorchak considers it 'reasonable' to expect Tyler Allgeier to eat into Jeremiyah Love's carries in Week 1, given Love's limited practice participation on Thursday; this suggests increased opportunity for Allgeier in the Cardinals backfield.PositiveDepth ChartSep 8, 2026

With James Conner on injured reserve and Jeremiah Love banged up, Tyler Allgeier is set up for a healthy amount of early-season touches in Arizona.
