Tyler Allgeier helped spark and eventually pull off a shocking win over the Cowboys. He ran for 147 yards and a TD on 11 carries while adding 5 receptions for 44 more yards and TD. His season-high 36.1 PPR points lands him an RB1 ranking ahead of Sunday- and Monday Night Football.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: Minshew Spark, Seattle Brake
Fellow RB Jeremiyah Love made his return from an ankle issue that kept him out of the previous two weeks. But it was short-lived, with him exiting in the first quarter after hurting the same ankle. RB Bam Knight also exited early with a concussion.
The door has been open before for Allgeier, albeit not with the backfield this depleted, but this week he took advantage. Specifically, this week he took advantage when QB Gardner Minshew entered the game for benched Jacoby Brissett late in the third quarter.
Allgeier ran for a 63-yard TD on the second play after Minshew entered. On his next attempt, he ripped off a 52-yard run on a drive that ended in a reception TD.
His 36.1 PPR points signify a career-high for the fifth-year RB. But while Love could possibly miss time, and even Knight, the Cardinals' next matchup comes against a Seahawks defense reducing RB points by 10.8%.
