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

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball twice for five yards in a 32-25 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. Allen was expected to operate as Breece Hall's main backup but he did miss some time in the contest with a back injury, leaving the backup role for Isaiah Davis. While Allen did ultimately return to the game on Sunday, his status is now in question heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, making Davis worth a look as a waiver stash for this upcoming week.

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen is expected to see his workload decrease heading into Week 15 of the NFL season. Allen broke out with 11 carries for 43 rushing yards last Sunday, plus four catches for an additional 38 yards through the air. However, he had earned these additional opportunities by stepping up with Breece Hall (knee) sidelined. In the loss to Miami, Allen and Isaiah Davis split touches. This weekend, though, Hall is expected to play. He might not be 100 percent, so Allen should still earn several carries, but the rookie's workload likely isn't large enough to justify starting him in fantasy football. Even against a team like the Jaguars, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to running backs, Allen is best viewed as a high-end RB4.

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen failed to capitalize on his increased role with Breece Hall (knee) out of action in Week 14, rushing for only 43 scoreless yards. His time as the team's lead back may be short-lived as Hall is looking likely to return to action in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after he logged a full practice on Friday. The Jaguars have struggled against running backs this season, allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position. If Hall ultimately ends up being inactive, Allen can be treated as an RB2 in Week 15 but if Hall plays, downgrade Allen to a desperation flex.
