Bijan Robinson and Free Agency Outlook
The Falcons drafted Bijan Robinson with the No. 8 overall pick in 2023, after which Allgeier’s usage dropped; Allgeier still finished 2025 with a team-high eight red-zone touchdowns, one more than Bijan Robinson.
Allgeier has never fumbled in his career, has not missed a game, plays special teams, and after the 2025 season said he wanted to return to Atlanta but was interested in earning a majority of carries elsewhere.
If tyler allgeier reaches 1, 000 rushing yards, he could re-emerge as a 1, 000-yard back with a new team in 2026, a projection laid out by an NFL analyst that named 1, 000 yards and the 2026 season specifically.
