Yeah, I mean, it's kind of ridiculous that Tyler Algiers is only on the roster in 39% of Yahoo leagues because we know that if anything ever happened to Bijon Robinson, he would immediately start running back a territory.

But it's also kind of crazy because at least you can play this guy as, uh, what the hell, Flex.

I mean, he was, and that's no exaggeration.

With more than 50 runs on the season, he was one of the most effective running backs in the NFL (per touch basis) among run backs.

According to real media, Tyler Alz ranks sixth in EPA per rush behind the two Lions running backs and Derek Henry, he leads the NFL in rushing success rate.

He is one of the most efficient backs in the NFL.

He and David Montgomery are the only running backs with a winning percentage over 50.

And I keep bringing up David Montgomery because I feel like he, like Dave Montgomery, will cap the ceiling for a running back in the 2023 first round.

So if you need help at the running back position, who doesn't?

And Algiers is in so many leagues that you can probably pick him up and start, especially in a potentially high-scoring matchup with the Seattle Seahawks in this game.
