However, he could replicate those numbers where he has been slowly depleting. Bleacher Report thinks that Allgeier is being wasted, and since he has no incentive to sign an extension, he could join another team elsewhere, even as a potential starter. The Falcons could fish Allgeier this 2025 campaign to a new team, who may need a running back due to injuries or lack of consistency.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t expect Allgeier to get a starting role anywhere else anytime soon, but these four teams could take a chance on him in a backup role.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-168167\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/John-Franklin-Myers-Trade-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"John Franklin-Myers Trade\" width=\"788\" height=\"525\"  \/>Dec 3, 2023; East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA; Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier (25) is tackled by New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams (95) and linebacker C.J.

While they have two adequate running backs in Najee Harris and 2025 first-round pick Omarion Hampton, it\u2019s never a bad idea to find another answer. Harris will likely be a free agent after this season, so Allgeier could be a worthy backup behind Hampton if everything works out in the Los Angeles blueprint behind <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2025\/05\/23\/predicting-justin-herberts-best-3-games-of-the-2025-nfl-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">quarterback Justin Herbert<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Washington Commanders<\/p>\n<p>However, the weakest unit on this offense is the running back department, and it\u2019s hard to imagine that quarterback Jayden Daniels will rely on the passing attack much longer once teams figure out his style of play. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/09\/08\/brian-robinson-jr-2023-fantasy-football-outlook\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Brian Robinson Jr.<\/a> has a promising frame and ceiling, but no one has seen him break out just yet.
