Braelon Allen's Week 7 Starting Value Hinges on Backfield Availability

Saturday, October 24, 6:59 AM

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen is a strong RB2 for Sunday's home game against the Miami Dolphins if Breece Hall (quad) misses another week, and his past two starts show why. Allen turned them into 220 scrimmage yards, including 194 rushing yards on 41 carries and 12 forced missed tackles, with 78 rushing yards on 17 attempts and another 26 yards on two receptions against the New England Patriots in Week 6. Hall is questionable after returning to limited practices, and Aaron Glenn has continued to call him the starter. If Hall plays, Allen becomes a riskier flex option because the Jets have not established how they will divide the work.

Jalen Coker Should Excel Against Weak Defense in Week 7

Friday, October 23, 3:18 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker impressed in his Week 6 return, but can he keep it up in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Coker had six receptions for 97 yards in Week 6 after being previously sidelined with a quadriceps injury. The third-year wideout also saw 75% of the snap share in that game, although it's likely his workload will balance out more with teammate Tetairoa McMillan against a struggling Buccaneers passing defense. Carolina has tougher defensive matchups down the road, but Coker should excel in a second straight healthy effort. Coker is a solid WR2 ahead of Week 7, with RotoBaller ranking him 18th in the position standings.
