Who Should I Start? Braelon Allen or Jaydon Blue

Sunday, August 10, 1:59 AM

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen totaled 33 rushing yards on eight carries in his team's 30-10 win against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday. He failed to bring in his lone target. Allen drew a carry on New York's first series with the starting offense and broke free for a nice gain of 14 yards - the team's longest run of the day. It was presumed that he'd operate after Breece Hall, but it's noteworthy that Isaiah Davis also appeared on that drive. The first-string offense was done after just one series, but Allen and Davis split the remainder of the half until they were both relieved of their duty. The 21-year-old is likely to have trouble finding consistent production with a myriad mouths to feed in the Jets' rushing attack. However, he presents as one of the higher-end handcuffs and could be a legitimate thorn in Hall's side this season. Fantasy managers will want to pay close attention to how this backfield split shakes out over the next few weeks, as the situation is more fluid than it has been in recent seasons. The Jets will take on the Giants next Saturday in their annual preseason meeting.

Dallas Cowboys running back Jaydon Blue (heel) is no longer using a walking boot, but hasn't participated in practice since last week. That being said, it's unlikely that Blue is going to be ready to play against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. The Cowboys probably aren't going to put Blue into game action without him getting any practice reps this week. Before going down, Blue looked impressive in camp, so hopefully he'll be able to get back on the field soon. It seems unlikely that he'll surpass Javonte Williams on the depth chart, but Blue could have a role as a backup to begin the season.
