Tyler Allgeier's fantasy role in Week 2
Tyler Allgeier goes into Week 2 of the 2026 season as a deep-league RB flyer for the ARI. He is rostered in 40% of leagues and actually started in 1% of them, and we rank him RB45 on our own weekly board at 7 projected points.
Roster rates are steady week over week, so his role looks settled rather than in flux.
No injury designation to work around right now, which keeps his projection honest.
Week 2 matchup breakdown
The matchup: vs SEA. Our Pepper Meter heat rating for this spot is 1 out of 5, which is how we grade the combination of role, projection and opponent difficulty.
Against a typical starting RB baseline of 11 points, his 7-point projection is 4 points short. That gap is the whole start/sit argument in one number.
How to play it
Sit Tyler Allgeier in Week 2 if you have a real alternative — 7 projected points lands 4 under the RB starter line.
If you are deciding between him and another RB, compare projections first, then lean on the Pepper Meter heat rating as the tiebreaker.
Sally's take
Peppers & Picks ranks Tyler Allgeier (ARI RB), our RB45 this week for Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season vs SEA, projecting 7.0 projected points with a mild Pepper Meter rating. 7 points is roughly 36% short of the RB baseline, and I rank on output, not name recognition. Facing SEA in front of his own crowd, the script reads neutral to friendly, not scary. 1% of managers already start him, and the depth-chart role behind that number looks stable. Mild on the Pepper Meter is generous, honestly.
