A former college walk-on who was moved to LB at one point in his career made the most of his move back with over 2,700 rushing yards and 36 TD's on just 425 carries in his last two seasons at BYU. He dropped to the 5th round of this year's draft largely because of a disappointing 4.6 40-time at the Combine. But he is a load (5-11, 220) and was tough to bring down in the open field, averaging almost 50 yards per game after contact. Physically, he's much more suited to the 1st/2nd down back role than Cordarrelle Patterson, and he still has a lot of tread on his tires as a result of the way he was used by the Cougars. As long he picks things up quickly, he could see consistently high carry numbers as the season goes on and Patterson takes on more of a WR-3rd down back role.
Of course, this is a bad Falcons team that still has its' issues along the o-line, and will be playing from behind most weeks, which will cut into his production. But Allgeier is a player who could be available late in drafts who could end up over-producing on value. Don't be afraid to take him late and stash him.

 Falcons activate Cordarrelle Patterson off IR
Expected to play in Week 9
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Nov 5, 2:15 pm
|  | The #Falcons are activating RB Cordarrelle Patterson off IR today, sources say. He’ll be back in action tomorrow vs. the #Chargers after practicing all week. (Mike Garafolo on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The only team that runs the ball more than Atlanta is Chicago. Usage will be a concern as both Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley are expected to remain involved in the offense making Patterson a risky Flex play in Week 9 against the Chargers.
