Braelon Allen is Getting Bigger and Stronger

Wednesday, June 10, 5:49 PM

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen has been working hard this offseason. Allen says that he's bigger and stronger than ever before. Allen is currently up to 250 pounds, which is up from 238-240 that he was at last season. He continued by saying that his body fat percentage is at an all-time low. Allen is looking to rebound after having surgery to repair an MCL injury he suffered in Week 4 of last season. If everything goes right, Allen should take on the role of the backup running back to Breece Hall. There's some stash value here if Allen is truly ready to take his game to the next level.

Woody Marks News

Woody Marks Carries Buy-Low Appeal for Dynasty Managers Entering 2026

Monday, June 8, 8:47 AM

A fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Houston Texans running back Woody Marks finished his rookie year with 911 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns on 220 touches across 16 games (eight starts). After starting the season in a secondary role behind veteran back Nick Chubb, Marks gradually assumed the RB1 job over the course of the year. However, Marks looks to be back in an RB2 role in Houston entering 2026 after the team's offseason trade acquisition of former Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery. Montgomery is entering his age-29 season and failed to reach 1,000 scrimmage yards for the first time in his career in 2025, but his production decline can largely be attributed to the emergence of star running back Jahmyr Gibbs in Detroit. Still, while Marks may see a decline in goal-line and early-down work in 2026, he should still be Houston's primary pass-catching back. Given Montgomery's age, Marks could still profile as the future of the running back position in Houston as well. In dynasty formats, managers may want to consider buying low on Marks ahead of 2026.
