Tyler Allgeier Set for Lead Backfield Role in Week 6 vs. Rams

Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier is poised for a lead backfield role Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams with Jeremiyah Love sidelined by an ankle injury. Through five games, Allgeier maintained a 36 to 64 percent weekly snap share, averaging 9.4 touches for 32.6 yards from scrimmage and one rushing touchdown. Allgeier expects an increased workload, with Bam Knight as his primary backfield competition as 12.5-point underdogs.
