• Jets' Braelon Allen: Splits with Davis in Hall's absence

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Allen rushed 11 times for 43 yards while catching four of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins. Allen split time evenly with Isaiah Davis in the absence of lead back Breece Hall (knee), as both rookie running backs had 16 combined carries and targets. The biggest play between the two was a 17-yard touchdown run by Davis in the second quarter, while Allen has still scored only once since his two-touchdown performance back in Week 2. If Hall remains unavailable in Week 15, both Allen and Davis would have substantial fantasy value against the vulnerable Jacksonville defense.

• Jets' Braelon Allen: Set to help fill in for Hall

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Allen is expected to take on an expanded role out of the Jets backfield Sunday against the Dolphins due to Breece Hall (knee) being ruled out for the contest, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Jets aren't planning on shutting Hall down for the season, but with the star tailback set to miss his first game of 2024 on Sunday, Allen could be in store for the biggest snap and touch counts of his young career. Allen hasn't played more than 36 percent of snaps or handled more than 14 touches in any of the Jets' first 12 games, and though he reeled off some impressive runs early on in the season, he's averaging just 2.8 yards per carry over his last eight outings. Despite the poor results of late, the 6-foot-1, 235-pound Allen still looks best suited to serve as the Jets' top option on early downs, though he may cede pass-catching duties to fellow rookie Isaiah Davis, who recorded three receptions for 28 yards and a touchdown in the Week 13 loss to the Seahawks. The Jets may also look to give a few snaps to the speedy Kene Nwangwu, who returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown last week.

• Jets' Braelon Allen: Sleeper RBs

  12D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Breece Hall (knee) missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, and he's not 100 percent heading into Week 14 at Miami. If he's limited against the Dolphins, then Allen could see an increased workload, making him a potential flex option in all leagues. And if Hall is out, then Allen would be a starter in all formats. We haven't seen Allen with a huge workload this season, but he does have five games this season with at least eight total touches. He scored at least 9.2 PPR points in three of those outings, and Miami has allowed nine running backs to score at least 13.2 PPR points this year.
