New York Jets running back Braelon Allen saw just three touches in a Week 6 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He will look to bounce back against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in Week 7's Sunday night game. That might be tough for the rookie, however, as the Jets' changes at head coach and offensive coordinator heading into last week's game may have led to Breece Hall seeing 23 touches to Allen's three after the two had split touches much more evenly in the preceding games. Allen should still be rostered as a premium fantasy handcuff but he should not be in starting lineups in Week 7.
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball three times for eight yards and failed to corral either of his two targets in a 23-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 6. The Jets surprisingly went away from Allen in Week 6's Monday night game, instead opting to give 18 of the team's 21 running-back carries to Breece Hall. Allen's workload has steadily declined since his 11-carry, 55-yard performance against the New England Patriots in Week 3 as he's seen eight, five, and now three carries over the past three games. Allen remains a priority handcuff option in fantasy leagues but his days as a standalone flex option appear to be over for now. He should not be in starting lineups in fantasy heading into a Week 7 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen has been quiet over the past two games, rushing for 47 scoreless yards while catching just two passes. It isn't just Allen as Breece Hall has also struggled to find room to run over that same span. The Jets and Allen will look to change that in Week 6's Monday night game against the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo can be beaten on the ground as they are allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to running backs this season. That is in stark contrast to their lockdown pass defense, which is allows the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to receivers. The Jets could lean heavily on their running backs in Week 6, giving Allen a good shot at seeing double-digit touches for the first time since Week 3. That places him on the map as a solid flex option heading into Monday night.
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried the ball five times for 13 yards and added a 15-yard catch in a 23-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London in Week 5. Allen and Breece Hall both struggled against a fierce Minnesota run defense in the loss while Aaron Rodgers dropped back to pass a season-high 54 times in the close loss. Allen has been quiet over the past two weeks, having run for 47 scoreless yards and catching just two passes over that span. The rookie running back remains a quality stash as a handcuff in fantasy moving forward but he can't be trusted as a flex option in starting lineups until the Jets get their running game back on track. Allen will face off against the Buffalo Bills in Week 6's Monday night game.
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen will head to London to take on the Minnesota Vikings in Week 5. Allen ran for 34 yards on eight carries in Week 4, outproducing Breece Hall in a 10-9 loss to the Denver Broncos. The rookie running back will have his work cut out for him in Week 5 as the Vikings are allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs this season with only Jordan Mason notching double-digit fantasy points. Allen's workload as the change-of-pace back will fluctuate week-to-week and the matchup is a daunting one, but a case can still be made for him in starting lineups as a low-end flex option with several NFL teams on bye this week. Fantasy gamers relying on Jets and Vikings players will want to set their lineups early as the London game kicks off at 9:30 AM EST on Sunday.
