Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Quiet finish to regular season
Rotowire
Allen played 10 offensive snaps during Sunday's 41-7 win against the Titans.
After working as Jacksonville's No. 2 tailback the previous two games, the 2025 seventh-round pick was relegated to the No. 3 job Sunday since Bhayshul Tuten (finger) returned from an injury. Allen played in all 17 regular-season games as a rookie, carrying 23 times for 94 yards and catching 10 of 11 targets for 54 yards while also racking up 617 return yards. Starter Travis Etienne is scheduled to hit free agency during the offseason, so Jacksonville's backfield could be in flux for 2026. Allen is likely to be back after his rookie campaign but may not have a significant role.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: One carry in Week 17
Rotowire
Allen returned two kickoffs for 58 yards and rushed once for three yards during Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.
The 2025 seventh-round pick operated as the Jaguars' No. 2 running back for the second consecutive week while Bhayshul Tuten (finger) was sidelined during Sunday's win. However, this didn't translate to an increase in production, as Allen received just one offensive touch. Through 16 appearances this season, Allen has rushed 23 times for 94 yards and caught 10 of 11 targets for 54 yards. Additionally, he's recorded 617 kick-return yards. Expect the rookie to continue serving as one of Jacksonville's top kick returners in the Week 18 matchup against the Titans.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Four touches in No. 2 role
Rotowire
Allen rushed four times for 10 yards and returned three kickoffs for 73 yards during Sunday's 34-20 win against the Broncos.
The rookie seventh-round pick stepped into the No. 2 backfield role with Bhayshul Tuten (finger) sidelined, and Allen played 21 of 70 offensive snaps. Starter Travis Etienne dominated the backfield work with 20 touches, and that's a trend that's likely to continue during the final two weeks of the regular season, with Allen working as the primary backup as long as Tuten is out.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Ready for larger role
Rotowire
Allen is poised to operate as the No. 2 running back behind Travis Etienne beginning Sunday at Denver, and as long as Bhayshul Tuten (finger) has to be sidelined, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.
Allen has regularly handled the No. 3 backfield role behind Tuten this year, but across 14 regular-season appearances he's looked solid in limited opportunities. On the season, Allen has carried the ball 18 times for 81 yards and secured 10 of 11 targets for 54 yards, while also piling up 486 yards as a kick returner. Head coach Liam Coen praised Allen as a player who "runs violently and has taken care of the football," while quarterback Trevor Lawrence expressed confidence that the rookie seventh-round pick will "take this opportunity, run with it, and play well." That said, Allen's first opportunity to show what he's capable of in the No. 2 role will come versus a stingy Denver defense, so it may be prudent not to set expectations too high.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Five touches in blowout win
Rotowire
Allen carried four times for 11 yards, caught his lone target for five yards and returned one kickoff for 50 yards during Sunday's 48-20 win against the Jets.
The rookie seventh-round pick played 18 offensive snaps, with most of his touches coming with Jacksonville leading comfortably during the fourth quarter. Allen continues to see sporadic playing time as a passing down back but has received more than two offensive touches in just two games this season.
Allen rushed eight times for 36 yards and returned two kickoffs for 55 yards during Sunday's 35-6 win against the Chargers.
Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) combined for 34 carries, with Allen stepping in for mop-up duty on the final drive of the blowout victory. Allen has played double-digit snaps in all but one game this season, but Sunday's contest was the first time he received more than two offensive touches. The rookie seventh-round pick could move up to No. 2 on the depth chart if Tuten is forced to miss some time, but Allen still wouldn't be likely to see much meaningful action if Etienne remains healthy.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Plays season-high 22 snaps
Rotowire
Allen had one carry for 10 yards and caught his only target for one yard during Sunday's 30-29 win against the Raiders.
The 21-year-old played a season-high 22 offensive snaps but was significantly less involved than fellow rookie tailback Bhayshul Tuten, who had 10 touches on 20 snaps. Allen has played double-digit offensive snaps in seven of eight games this year but has just five carries for 32 yards and six receptions for 35 yards. He appears locked in as the Jaguars' No. 3 running back behind Tuten and starter Travis Etienne.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Zero touches in MNF win
Rotowire
Allen didn't record a touch in the Jaguars' win over the Chiefs on Monday night.
Allen played 13 offensive snaps but didn't register a rushing attempt or see a target in the passing game. He has extremely minimal fantasy value while Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten are healthy.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Looks solidified as No. 3 RB
Rotowire
Allen rushed twice for 13 yards during Jacksonville's 31-27 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Allen took a step back to fellow rookie Bhayshul Tuten (eight carries for 42 yards, two catches for 32 yards and a score) in Week 2 after having handled more snaps than him Week 1. In the wake of Jacksonville trading Tank Bigsby, Tuten looks entrenched as the No. 2 man behind Travis Etienne, with Allen having lost out on the backup competition but still in line for opportunities for change-of-pace touches as the No. 3 man. The rookie seventh-round pick will work to keep making the most of his depth role Week 3 against the Texans.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Minor role in debut
Rotowire
Allen carried once for seven yards and caught his lone target for four yards during Sunday's 26-10 win against the Panthers.
The rookie seventh-round pick received both his touches during the first half and played just nine offensive snaps in his professional debut. Allen played a few more snaps than fellow rookie Bhayshul Tuten, but the specifics are a bit of a moot point after the Jaguars traded No. 2 tailback Tank Bigsby to the Eagles on Monday. Travis Etienne is entrenched as the starter, but it appears Allen and Tuten will now compete for the backup job as the only other running backs currently on the roster.
