What happened: Pro Football Focus highlighted running back Tyler Allgeier for his reliability carrying the football during the 2026 regular season.

Why it matters: Ball security is a deciding factor for coaching staffs allocating backfield touches and four-minute offense carries. Protecting the football keeps a runner on the field in high-leverage situations.

What to watch: Allgeier's carry share and third-down usage remain the primary workload indicators as the 2026 regular season progresses.
