Allgeier had a very impressive rookie campaign in 2022: 210 rushing attempts for 1,035 yards and three touchdowns. It appeared that the Falcons had found their diamond in the rough, but that was quickly dusted when they selected Robinson in the draft. It's likely that Allgeier's numbers will dip, but it's still possible for him to succeed.
Allgeier will be a late-round pick due to the Falcons' run-pass ratio. Atlanta was one of just three teams last season to run the ball more times than passing it. Since Ridder has yet to show much promise, the Falcons will likely have a somewhat similar ratio in 2023.
Based on the hype, Robinson will get a lot more snaps than Allgeier, but don't rule out a 2017 Mark Ingram-Alvin Kamara scenario where they're both involved and providing fantasy value. The main difference between the two duos is that the Saints had a pure pounder and a receiving back, while each Falcon is solid in both aspects with Robinson being well above average in both categories.
Allgeier will likely land in the 11-13 round range in fantasy football drafts and be a viable bench piece to your squad. If Robinson should get injured, Allgeier proved last season that he's capable of filling an RB2 role.

 Bijan Robinson disappears in Week 7
Headache
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Oct 22, 8:00 pm
|  | Bijan Robinson said he was dealing with a headache that didn't lessen enough for him to comfortably play Sunday. "It (started) last night, I was feeling weird," Robinson said. "I woke up, just completely out of it. I tried to take medicine so I could be good for the game. But my head was hurting. Bad. I don't know what was going on. I tried to go in pregame, but then coach (Arthur) Smith said, 'We'll be all right. Let's get you right.'" (AtlantaFalcons.com)
FFToday's Take: It would've been nice to know this information some time before 1 pm Eastern. Robinson ended up getting one carry late in the game while Tyler Allgeier (24 touches) and Cordarrelle Patterson (10 touches) handled the running back duties. Robinson was never on the injury report this week.
