• Jets' Braelon Allen: Fades after strong start to season

  01/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Allen rushed four times for 15 yards while catching two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes his rookie season with 92 carries for 334 yards and two touchdowns, as well as 19 catches for 148 yards and one touchdown on 27 targets. Allen won the top backup job behind Breece Hall in training camp and showed promise early, with two of the fourth-round draft pick's three total touchdowns coming Week 2 against the Titans. The rookie wore down and averaged just 3.1 yards per carry from Week 5 onward, and by the end of the year, 2024 fifth-round draft pick Isaiah Davis was splitting backup duties with Allen. The crowded nature of the Jets backfield will make it difficult for Allen to shine in 2025, though the 235-pound running back's big frame makes him a strong candidate for goal-line work.

• Jets' Braelon Allen: Six carries in Week 17

  12/30/2024 • By RotoWire

  Allen rushed six times for 26 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills. Allen was stuffed on a fourth-and-1 just outside the red zone to end the Jets' opening drive, setting the tone for what turned into another disappointing afternoon for New York. He finished third on the team in rushing behind Breece Hall (10 carries for 45 yards) and Isaiah Davis (three carries for 35 yards). All three running backs will probably see action in Week 18 against the Dolphins, with Hall likely to maintain the lead role over Allen and Davis.

• Jets' Braelon Allen: Three touches in loss to Rams

  12/23/2024 • By RotoWire

  Allen (back) rushed twice for five yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams. Allen matched Isaiah Davis' total of three touches while Breece Hall led the Jets backfield with 19 touches. While Allen will likely be healthy enough to suit up in Week 17 against the Bills, his fantasy upside is minimal as he splits backup duties.

• Jets' Braelon Allen: Available versus Rams

  12/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Allen (back) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams. Allen, who was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, practiced fully Friday but was still deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. With his availability versus Los Angeles confirmed, Allen and Isaiah Davis are in line to work behind Breece Hall, a context that limits the 2024 fourth-rounder's Week 16 fantasy lineup upside.

• Jets' Braelon Allen: In line to play

  12/22/2024 • By RotoWire

  Allen (back) remains listed as questionable but is considered good to go for Sunday's game against the Rams, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Allen should be formally cleared to play when the Jets release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Though he was limited in the Jets' first two Week 16 practices, Allen assuaged most of the concerns about his health by turning in a full session Friday. The rookie fourth-round pick and Isaiah Davis are slated to fill backup roles Sunday behind Breece Hall in the New York backfield.
