If he starts in Arizona, he'll be part of a committee that limits his ceiling and has a good chance of Jeremiah Love overtaking him in this role by midseason; still, it's nice to have a part-time starter capable of strong volume as your team's RB5; could earn a committee role this year.PositiveRoleAug 6, 2026
Allgeier is listed as the starting running back on Arizona's first unofficial depth chart after signing a two-year, $12.25 million deal this offseason.
