Ty Johnson vs Tyler Allgeier: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Ty Johnson and Tyler Allgeier is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Buffalo Bills running back put up 5.2 PPG in 2025 over 17 games; Tyler Allgeier of the Arizona Cardinals averaged 6.8 in 17. A 1.6-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 1.6 points favors Tyler Allgeier, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one running back to the other.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Ty Johnson ran for 200 yards and 3 touchdowns; Tyler Allgeier posted 514 and 8. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Ty Johnson has his bye in Week 12, and Tyler Allgeier rests in Week 11. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at running back for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
