The Overrated
It all begins with an idea.
Tyler Allgeier (RB, Falcons)
Mr. Allgeier got 10 carries for 32 yards and a touchdown. Yes you saw that right, not only did he have a back to back 10+ touch game but also consumed 2 td in back to back games. That looks nice in a vacuum, but as long as Bijan Robinson is healthy and handling the bulk of the carries, Allgeier role is capped. His season stats paint that: 53 carries, 187 rushing yards, 3 total TDs so far. Using him expecting RB2 consistency is asking for trouble.
2. Zach Charbonnet (RB, Seahawks)
Charbonnet has flashed in short-yardage and goal-to-go looks, which inflates perceptions. But he lacks consistent volume in neutral scripts. Against a tougher matchup and when Walker gets hot, Charbonnet’s opportunity is volatile. The interest thought is Charbonnet is sneakily consuming goal line workload vs K9. If it weren’t for the touchdowns he would have never had a fantasy game over 6 points.
3. Chase Brown (RB, Bengals)
Brown’s Week 6 might be getting praise for usage, especially in some advanced stat writeups. With what looks like to be an upgrade in the QB position there is potential for more checkdown passes and the opposition’s defense needing to spread out their gameplan. Having said they he’s still splitting time, and in tougher defenses he risks negative regression. Counting on him as your lead RB is borderline foolhardy right now.
