Braelon Allen's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen had a big afternoon in his team's win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 2, finding the end zone twice in the victory. Allen will look to keep it going in Week 3's Thursday night game against the New England Patriots. The Patriots are allowing the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to running backs through two weeks but they have given up two rushing touchdowns already. Allen's workload could fluctuate from week to week as he is still the backup behind Breece Hall but he is at least on the radar as an RB3/flex option heading into Week 3.

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball seven times for 33 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for 23 yards and a second touchdown in a 24-17 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 2. Allen, the youngest player in the NFL at just 20 years old, scored the Jets' first touchdown of the game on a 12-yard reception in the second quarter. He later came back and scored the game-winning TD on a 20-yard run in the fourth. While Allen will not overtake star runner Breece Hall in the New York backfield, he remains a top handcuff in case anything happens to Hall moving forward. Allen now has a short turnaround as the Jets play the New England Patriots in Week 3's Thursday night game.

New York Jets backup running back Braelon Allen saw limited usage out of the Jets' backfield in the team's Week 1 loss at San Francisco. Allen carried one time for eight yards and caught his lone target for nine yards. All in all, Allen saw eight total snaps compared to 42 for starter Breece Hall. Most of Allen's time on the field came in mop-up duty and he ran seven routes on his eight snaps. The rookie from Wisconsin is just 20 years old and could see his role expand as the team gains more trust in the youngster. However, Hall is one of the most dominant backs in the league and should command a lion's share of the touches. Barring injury to Hall, Allen is not fantasy-relevant at the moment.
