Jets' Braelon Allen: Splits with Davis in Hall's absence
Braelon 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
Braelon Allen is expected to take on an expanded role out of the New York 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: Seven touches against Seahawks
Braelon Allen rushed five times for 11 yards and caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.Breece Hall got only 12 touches while playing through a knee injury, but third-stringer Isaiah Davis saw a bigger uptick in usage than Allen, as Davis scored his first NFL touchdown on one of his career-high four touches. With Hall still firmly entrenched atop the depth chart and Davis pushing for a larger role, Allen continues to have minimal short-term fantasy value ahead of a Week 14 trip to Miami.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Two carries in Week 11 loss
Braelon Allen rushed twice for six yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.Allen worked as a distant No. 2 behind Breece Hall, who turned 16 carries and seven targets into 121 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. As long as Hall's healthy, Allen's little more than an insurance policy to be stashed on fantasy benches.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Seven carries in blowout loss
Braelon Allen gained 27 rushing yards on seven carries and caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona.Allen has 60 rushing attempts and 16 targets through his first 10 NFL games, so his usage Sunday was right in line with the rookie's averages. After averaging 4.8 yards per carry on 27 attempts through Week 4, Allen has regressed to 2.8 YPC on 33 carries over the last six games as he continues to work in a change-of-pace role behind Breece Hall.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Back to reduced role Thursday
Braelon Allen rushed four times for nine yards and failed to bring in his only target in the New York Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night.Allen logged 12 carries and a rushing touchdown in Week 8 against the Patriots, but four days later, the rookie was back under 10 rushing yards and without a catch for the third time in the last four games. Allen's usage is clearly volatile from week to week despite the success he's enjoyed at times, leaving him as an unreliable option for a Week 10 road matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 10.

Jets' Braelon Allen: TD among 12 carries in Week 8
Braelon Allen rushed 12 times for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-22 loss to the Patriots. He wasn't targeted in the passing game.Allen's two-yard rushing touchdown gave the New York Jets a 22-17 lead with 2:57 remaining, but the Jets failed on their subsequent two-point conversion attempt and the Patriots responded with a game-winning touchdown drive. Breece Hall (16 carries for 80 yards) was far more efficient on the ground, so Allen will likely need to make the most of his opportunities near the goal line to maintain any fantasy relevance. Allen's heavier workload compared to recent weeks may have been an effort to keep Hall fresh since the Jets will be back in action Thursday on a short week against the Texans.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Just three touches again
Braelon Allen rushed twice for four yards and caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.Allen was pushing for a timeshare with Breece Hall early in the season, but the rookie has faded into clear backup territory in the last two games, with six touches compared to Hall's 41 over that span. The shiftier Hall is better with the ball in space as a pass catcher out of the backfield, and the New York Jets' struggling offensive line hasn't opened up many holes for either running back on the ground. Allen will be little more than a bench stash in fantasy unless his usage trends back up.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Has crucial TD called back
Braelon Allen rushed three times for eight yards and didn't catch either of his two targets in Monday's 23-20 loss to the Bills.After shaking up their coaching staff, the New York Jets recommitted to Breece Hall as their clear No. 1 running back, and he finished with 169 scrimmage yards on 23 touches. Allen still notably got a look near the goal line and converted it for a go-ahead four-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter, only to have the score called back on a holding call away from the play. The rookie running back will look to make the most of his limited opportunities behind Hall in Pittsburgh on Sunday.
