Braelon Allen Runs For 15 Yards In Week 18

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball four times for 15 yards and caught two of his three targets for eight yards in a 32-20 win over the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. Allen mixed in behind starter Breece Hall, per usual, in the high-scoring win. While he didn't hold much standalone value in fantasy this season, Allen flashed his talent at times and appears to be slated to remain a quality backup running back in the NFL moving forward. He is a solid player to roster in dynasty leagues moving forward as he is just one injury away from a big role in the New York offense.

Braelon Allen An RB4 In Week 18

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen ran for 26 yards on six carries in a Week 17 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He will look to put the finishing touches on his rookie season in a home matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. The Dolphins have been solid against running backs this season, allowing the 13th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Allen is unlikely to see much work behind starter Breece Hall this weekend, leaving him as a low-end RB4 option who should not be considered to start in any fantasy formats.

Braelon Allen Runs For 26 Yards In Week 17

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball six times for 26 yards in a 40-14 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 17. Allen finished third on the team in rushing yards behind both Breece Hall and Isaiah Davis in the blowout loss. That being said, the Jets have little left to play for heading into the regular-season finale against the Miami Dolphins. While nothing is official, the team could opt to shut down Breece Hall, who dealt with a knee injury earlier in the month. If that happens, Allen would have flex value in fantasy leagues that play for championships in Week 18 of the regular season.

Braelon Allen Tough To Trust In Week 17

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen saw just three touches in a Week 16 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He will look to bounce back in a road matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Week 17. The Bills have struggled to contain opposing running backs this season, allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to the position. Allen is now sharing backup running-back touches with fellow rookie Isaiah Davis, making both players difficult to trust heading into Week 17.

Braelon Allen Held To Three Touches In Week 16

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball twice for five yards and caught his lone target for a five-yard gain in a 19-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. Allen dealt with a back injury throughout the week but ultimately suited up for the low-scoring loss to the Rams. Whether it was the result of the back injury or the Jets trying to get Isaiah Davis more touches, Allen was barely used in the contest. He has been a high-end handcuff for much of the season but with Davis starting to siphon away some of the backup touches behind Breece Hall, Allen is a cut candidate in fantasy leagues heading into a Week 17 road matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Braelon Allen To Play In Week 16

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen (back) has been cleared to play ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Allen was questionable coming into this game, but has now been cleared and will serve as the backup to Breece Hall in the backfield. Allen is unlikely going to offer much fantasy value with Hall back in the picture. Fellow back Isaiah Davis should also be in the mix, but Hall is the only player here worth starting in Week 16. Allen hasn't done enough in his backup role to be trusted in important fantasy playoff games.

Braelon Allen Expected To Play Sunday

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen (back) is expected to be active for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Allen had been listed as questionable after spending this week on the injury report with fellow rookie running back Isaiah Davis (back). Both Allen and Davis should be good to go for Week 16 against the Rams, but neither player has much fantasy appeal in their given role behind Breece Hall. Both Allen and Davis are low-end RB4 options for fantasy purposes this week.

Braelon Allen Questionable For Week 16

According to Dennis Waszak Jr. of the Associated Press, the New York Jets have listed rookie running back Braelon Allen (back) as questionable for Sunday's match against the Los Angeles Rams. Allen logged two limited sessions to open the week but was upgraded to a full participant on Friday. However, the rookie still carries a questionable tag. Allen saw an increased workload in Week 14 with Breece Hall sidelined as he tallied 43 yards on 11 attempts and added 38 yards on four receptions. Even if Allen is able to suit up on Sunday, he should not be viewed as a viable fantasy option as Breece Hall will be expected to lead the backfield. Seeing that Hall was not on the injury report all week suggests he is past his minor knee injury and will take on his normal workhorse role.

Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis Limited With Back Injuries

New York Jets running backs Braelon Allen (back) and Isaiah Davis (back) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. As the Jets prepare for Week 16, Allen and Davis are two names to monitor. Typically, players who are limited on Wednesday manage to log full sessions by Friday, but that's never a guarantee. Having Allen and Davis available is key for the Jets as they look to take some of the workload off Breece Hall's shoulders. Hall, who missed Week 14 with a knee injury, returned last Sunday but registered just nine carries and two receptions. Assuming Allen and Davis both play this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, the two rookies would be candidates to earn a handful of touches.

Braelon Allen Sees Two Carries, Exits Early With Back Injury

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball twice for five yards in a 32-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15 but he ultimately left early with a back injury in the contest. Allen was expected to operate as Breece Hall's main backup but his injury knocked him out of the game, leaving the backup role for Isaiah Davis. Allen's status is now in question heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, making Davis worth a look as a waiver stash for this upcoming week.

Braelon Allen Returns To Smaller Role In Week 15

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen is expected to see his workload decrease heading into Week 15 of the NFL season. Allen broke out with 11 carries for 43 rushing yards last Sunday, plus four catches for an additional 38 yards through the air. However, he had earned these additional opportunities by stepping up with Breece Hall (knee) sidelined. In the loss to Miami, Allen and Isaiah Davis split touches. This weekend, though, Hall is expected to play. He might not be 100 percent, so Allen should still earn several carries, but the rookie's workload likely isn't large enough to justify starting him in fantasy football. Even against a team like the Jaguars, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to running backs, Allen is best viewed as a high-end RB4.

Braelon Allen Quiet In Starting Role

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball 11 times for 43 yards and caught four of his five targets for 38 yards in a 32-26 overtime loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. Allen got the chance to start with Breece Hall (knee) inactive for the game but he failed to live up to expectations, turning in a pedestrian 3.9 yards per carry in the high-scoring loss while it was fellow running back Isaiah Davis who found the end zone on a 17-yard run in the second quarter. Allen's fantasy value heading into Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars will hinge on Hall's availability.

Braelon Allen Could Be In Line For Expanded Role In Week 14

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen could get his chance to lead the team's backfield in a Week 14 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Starter Breece Hall (knee) missed practice all week and is listed as doubtful for the upcoming matchup, which would pave the way for Allen to start and get the majority of the backfield touches for the Jets in a decent matchup against a Miami defense that is allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs this season. Allen needs to be rostered in all fantasy leagues and can be started as an upside RB2 in fantasy if Hall ultimately doesn't end up playing in Week 14.

Braelon Allen Sees Seven Touches In Week 13

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball five times for 11 yards and added two catches for 16 yards in a 26-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. With Breece Hall nursing a knee injury heading into the game, Allen turned in his most productive game in the passing attack since late September while the normally productive Hall failed to catch his lone target. Allen remains a high-end handcuff in fantasy but he continues to have very little standalone value with Hall active. That being said, he needs to stay rostered in all fantasy leagues in case Hall's knee injury becomes more of an issue late in the season. Allen will take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 14.

Braelon Allen Could Be In Line For A Larger Role In Week 13

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen comes out of his bye to face off against the Seattle Seahawks at home in Week 13. Allen has been mostly phased out of the team's offense of late as he has just 13 total carries over his last three contests. That being said, Breece Hall (knee) is listed as questionable with a knee injury for Week 13's contest. While recent reports are that Hall is expected to play, Allen is worth a look as a potential lead back in case Hall has a setback and ultimately doesn't end up taking the field. If Hall does end up playing, Allen won't be startable in fantasy but he needs to be rostered as a high-end handcuff nonetheless.

Braelon Allen A Candidate To Lead Jets Backfield In Week 13

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen could make his first career NFL start if Breece Hall (knee) is unable to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. Hall has been dealing with soreness for nearly two weeks. He won't practice Wednesday, and interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich was non-committal on his status for Sunday. If Hall doesn't suit up, Allen would immediately step into a role that allows him to earn north of 15 touches against a softer Seahawks run defense. That's a significant upgrade over his current role, which only affords him 5.6 carries, 20.8 rushing yards, and 0.3 touchdowns per game. Allen would rank as a low-end fantasy RB2 if he were to start Sunday.

Braelon Allen Takes Back Seat In Week 11 Loss

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen was firmly in the backup role during the Week 11 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He finished with two carries for six yards and didn't see any targets in the passing game. In comparison, Breece Hall received 16 carries and seven targets. The biggest hit to Allen's fantasy value was always the amount of work Hall receives, and when he's rolling, Allen will disappear. The Jets will go up against a vulnerable run defense in the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12, so Allen may get some more work if they get a lead early on.

Braelon Allen Goes For 27 Yards In Week 10

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball seven times for 27 yards and caught his lone target for seven yards in a 31-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 10. Allen mixed in behind starter Breece Hall, notching seven carries to Hall's 10 in the blowout loss. The Jets have been inconsistent in their touch distribution for Allen this season as he saw just four carries in Week 9 and two in Week 7. Allen remains a high-end handcuff in fantasy behind Hall but is tough to trust in starting lineups. He will face off against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11.

Nov 10, 2024 9:37 PM EST


Braelon Allen Tough To Trust In Week 10

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen saw just four carries for nine yards in a Week 9 win over the Houston Texans. Allen will look to bounce back in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals on the road. The Cardinals represent a nice matchup for Allen as they are allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game over the season. That being said, Allen has seen his opportunities cut since the Jets fired Robert Saleh following Week 5. While he remains a priority handcuff in case Breece Hall gets hurt, Allen should not be in starting lineups in fantasy heading into the weekend.

Braelon Allen Sees Just Four Touches In TNF Win

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball four times for nine yards and failed to catch his lone target in a 21-13 win over the Houston Texans in Week 9's Thursday night game. Allen showed some life last week, turning 12 carries into 32 yards and a touchdown but he was right back to just a handful of carries behind Breece Hall in Thursday night's win. Allen has seen eight or fewer carries in five of his past six contests as the Jets have committed to getting the ball in Hall's hands of late. Allen remains a solid fantasy handcuff behind Hall but should not be in starting lineups in Week 10 when the Jets face off against the Arizona Cardinals on the road.
