TylerAllgeier

After previously leading the Cardinals backfield when Love was sidelined due to a different ankle injury Weeks 6 and 7, Allgeier is now slated for a longer run atop the depth chart while Love is projected to miss 4-to-5 weeks due to a right high-ankle sprain. Love sustained his latest ankle injury late in the first quarter of Sunday's overtime win over the Cowboys, with his early exit clearing the way for Allgeier to run wild. Allgeier finished with a career-high 147 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries along with 44 yards and another score on five receptions. In addition to Love getting hurt, Bam Knight sustained a concussion and is uncertain to play Week 9 against Seattle, so the backfield could belong to Allgeier, Evan Hull and a practice-squad signee (likely Jerome Ford). Though Allgeier found substantial success in Week 8, he came into the contest averaging just 2.9 yards per carry on 61 totes. He'll also be facing a Seattle defense that is tied for the second-fewest yards per carry (3.8) allowed to running backs this season, so a repeat performance by Allgeier would be surprising.
