8. Tyler Allgeier, Atlanta Falcons

Even with the return of Cordarrelle Patterson, Falcons rookie Tyler Allgeier has remained involved. He led the Falcons running backs in rushing attempts in Week 10 with eight, but didn’t produce much with the opportunity he had. However, he’s receiving carries on one of the more run heavy offenses in the league. That has to mean something.

In a game against the Chicago Bears, where both teams will try their best to combine for over 1,000 total rushing yards, Allgeier has some upside. The Bears have been a bottom-five rushing defense all season. Allgeier is a mid-tier RB3 with touchdown upside.

7. Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers

Even though Jaylen Warren’s opportunities haven’t necessarily skyrocketed like some fantasy managers would have liked, he’s been incredibly efficient with his touches. Averaging six yards a touch, Warren has easily been the more explosive back for Pittsburgh. With Najee Harris still receiving the bulk of the work, Warren will have to remain efficient.

In a tough matchup against Cincinnati’s run defense, Warren still offers upside as a pass-catching option for the Steelers. The Steelers may be throwing quite a bit in this one, potentially giving Warren a receiving floor. This makes him a sneaky option in PPR formats.
