Atlanta Falcons' offensive coordinator Zac Robinson has indicated that Tyler Allgeier will continue to have a significant role in the backfield alongside Bijan Robinson during the upcoming season. This echoes last year's dynamics, where Allgeier's presence limited Robinson's fantasy production despite his talent and high draft status. As the Falcons transition to a new offensive system, there are questions about how Robinson's usage will change, particularly in terms of carries versus receptions.
- Bijan Robinson's fantasy value may be impacted by Tyler Allgeier's continued role in the backfield.
