Tyler Allgeier vs Zonovan Knight: Who Should You Start?
The gap between Tyler Allgeier and Zonovan Knight is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.0 PPG in 2025, this is one of those running back decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Tyler Allgeier averaged 6.8 PPG with the Arizona Cardinals across 17 games, and Zonovan Knight posted 6.8 with the Arizona Cardinals in 12.
When two running backs are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Both profile as early-down workhorses. Tyler Allgeier ran for 514 yards and 8 touchdowns; Zonovan Knight posted 269 and 4. Goal-line share, red zone touches, and which team is favored are usually the tiebreaker when neither back offers passing-game volume.
Both share a Week 11 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking running backs this deep on your bench, plan your replacement running back early.
