Tyler Allgeier Leads Falcons Against Rams in Monday Night Matchup

Atlanta, Georgia — The Atlanta Falcons will host the Los Angeles Rams on Monday night at 8:15 p.m. ET in Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season.

Running back Tyler Allgeier, who has an impressive 16 carries for 79 yards last week, will look to contribute again as the Falcons seek their third consecutive win. Although they have been eliminated from playoff contention, the team secured a 26-19 victory against the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday.

Allgeier, who is in the final weeks before becoming a free agent, shared the spotlight with teammate Bijan Robinson in their last game. With a season-high 31 total snaps in that game, Allgeier’s performance is drawing attention. “I’ve been working hard to get better and earn my place on the field,” he said.

Despite his notable stats, the matchup against the Rams may pose a challenge. Los Angeles has limited opposing running backs to just 1,227 rushing yards this season, ranking as one of the toughest defenses against the run.

Current fantasy projections place Allgeier as a risky option, with predictions suggesting he might struggle to outperform Robinson against the Rams’ defense. Allgeier averages 7.9 fantasy points per game this season as the team’s RB2 but has seen limited opportunities due to his split carry approach.

While both Allgeier and Rams’ running back Blake Corum sit as secondary options, Corum’s recent performance may give him the edge in fantasy lineups. Corum, who has scored five touchdowns in the past four games, presents a strong case to start this week as he faces a mid-level matchup against the Falcons defensive line.

This matchup will be critical not only for determining playoff implications in the league but also for players like Allgeier who are looking to secure their future roles on their respective teams.

As the game approaches, fans and analysts alike will be watching how Allgeier performs in what could be his penultimate game with the Falcons.
