He's projected for 120 carries and I think that's about right. That's 7-8 per game. Bijan is a generational talent with an incredibly heavy draft capitol invested in him. The only way Algier has significant value is via injury to Bijan and then his value isn't even that high with that scenario. I would rather roster players like Jaylen Warren and Tyjae Spears that have much higher ceilings and only have Algier if I own Bijan.

I guess my point is just that CP and Bijan might end up being the best pass catchers on the team outside of London & Pitts, which gives more rush attempts for Allgier

Falcons averaged 33 rushes per game last year.

I think:

Bijan gets ~14 carries and ~5 catches per game

Allgier gets ~ 13 carries and ~ 1 catch per game

CP gets ~ 3 carries and ~ 4 catches per game

I would also think Allgier ends up being used around the goal line a lot.


ETA: Also, I disagree that Allgier isnt that good of an option if Bijan gets hurt. You know the Falcons are gonna run the ball no matter what, and with Bijan out, the carries will be split between Allgier and 33 year old Cordarelle Patterson.

I think he easily gets 20+ touches per game in that situation and is a clear fantasy starter.
