De'Zhaun Stribling or Tyler Allgeier: Who Should You Start?

Stribling's better game script edges out Allgeier's clogged backfield role

Neither of these two is going to swing a lineup, but Stribling's path to production looks cleaner. San Francisco's near-touchdown implied total gives him more room to work with as the No. 3 option than Allgeier gets in a game Arizona is projected to lose by double digits. Allgeier's issue isn't touches on the ground so much as total absence from the passing game, which leaves him no safety net when the score gets away from Arizona. The real swing factor here is health, not role — Stribling's questionable tag is the one thing that could flip this outright.

What flips it: A Friday questionable-to-out designation for Stribling, or a Chargers game script that stays a blowout and shrinks Allgeier's already thin role.

In standard and half-PPR scoring this is a coin flip.
