News: 1 day agoAllgeier rushed twice for minus-1 yard and caught all four of his targets for 10 yards in the Cardinals' 36-30 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Spin: Rookie first-round pick Jeremiyah Love worked as the clear lead back for the first time in his nascent career Sunday, relegating Allgeier to a minor role. Allgeier was thus limited to screen passes and checkdowns, catching everything thrown his way for minimal gains. It remains to be seen if Sunday's notable shift in workload will have carryover into a Week 4 road matchup against the Giants on Sunday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Allgeier signed with the Cardinals during free agency. The 2022 fifth-round NFL draft pick impressed as a rookie in Atlanta, totaling 1,174 yards on 226 touches, but he hasn't come close to those marks while playing second fiddle to Bijan Robinson over the past three seasons, and he has yet to produce a top-25 fantasy campaign. Allgeier did score eight touchdowns last season, but he remains a nonfactor as a receiver, never clearing 18 catches in a season. The 26-year-old will step into a similar role in Arizona, as the primary backup and change-of-pace option behind No. 3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love. Same as in Atlanta, Allgeier has no standalone value, but he's a very good insurance stash.
