Geronimo Allison

Geronimo Allison was reportedly in Green Bay on Tuesday for a workout with the team.

Fantasy Impact

It would be a reunion for Allison and the Packers, as he played there for the first four years of his career. If he were to sign with the team, it's unlikely that he will threaten the opportunities seen by Allen Lazard or Christian Watson. There likely won't be many fantasy repercussions based on this move, if it were to happen.

Geronimo Allison was released by the Atlanta Falcons Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact

Allison signed a one-year deal with the Falcons in mid-May. Allison only say two targets in three games with the Lions in 2021. The 28-year-old may get another option with a WR-needy team but will not hold any fantasy value in 2022.

The Atlanta Falcons announced on Monday that they have signed free agent WR Geronimo Allison.

Fantasy Impact

Allison was invited to participate in the Falcons rookie minicamp over the weekend and impressed the team enough for them to offer him a contract. Allison will join a WR room that includes 2022 1st round pick Drake London, Bryan Edwards, Olamide Zaccheaus, Auden Tate, and KhaDarel Hodge. This isn’t a deep WR group behind London, so Allison may have a chance to see the field more often than he has in past seasons. Allison opted out of the 2020 COVID-19 season and appeared in three games for the Lions last season but didn’t record a reception. Allison shouldn’t be viewed as a draftable player in redraft leagues at this point, and he should be left on the waiver wire in most dynasty leagues unless reports from Falcons training camp this summer indicate he is impressing.

Lions WR Geronimo Allison has decided to opt out of the 2020 NFL season.

Fantasy Impact

Allison was expected to compete for the WR4 job in Detroit. His absence will give a larger opportunity to rookie WR Quintez Cephus out of Wisconsin. Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones, and Danny Amendola will continue to fill the top-3 WR positions for Matthew Stafford’s Lions.

Geronimo Allison has agreed to a one-year, $910K deal with the Lions.

Fantasy Impact

Allison hauled in 34 receptions for 287 yards and two touchdowns across 16 games for the Packers in 2019. He will slot in as the Lions third wide receiver behind Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones. Allison is currently 101 amongst all wideouts in the expert consensus rankings. The move to the Lions does not improve his fantasy value, and he is mainly a dynasty/deep-league stash.
