Two carries in Week 11 loss Allen rushed twice for six yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Colts.
Impact 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.

Seven carries in blowout loss Allen rushed seven times for 27 yards and caught his only target for seven yards in Sunday's 31-6 loss to Arizona.
Impact Allen has 60 rushing attempts and 16 targets through 10 NFL games, so his usage Sunday was right in line with the rookie's career 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.
NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE
Back to reduced role Thursday Allen rushed four times for nine yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night.
Impact Allen had flashed with 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 unreliable 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.
NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE
TD among 12 carries in Week 8 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.
Impact Allen's two-yard rushing touchdown gave the 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.

Just three touches again Allen rushed twice for four yards and caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the Steelers.
Impact 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 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.

Has crucial TD called back 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.
Impact After shaking up their coaching staff, the Jets recommitted to Breece Hall as their clear No. 1 running back, as Hall finished with 169 scrimmage yards on 23 touches. Allen notably got a look by the goal line and converted it for a go-ahead four-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter, only to have the touchdown called back on a ticky-tack holding call away from the play. The rookie power back will look to make the most of his limited opportunities behind Hall in Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Stymied by Vikings Allen rushed the ball five times for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Vikings. He added one reception on two targets for 15 yards.
Impact Allen was limited by both volume and inefficiency in the Week 5 loss, as he averaged only 2.6 yards per carry and had a long of just seven. The Jets also attempted only 14 rushes as opposed to 54 passes as they faced a negative game script for the entire contest. That led to a poor result, and Allen was also out-touched 12-6 by Breece Hall heading into a Week 6 bye.

Outplaying Hall as rusher Allen rushed eight times for 34 yards and caught his only target for 12 yards in Sunday's 10-9 loss to the Broncos.
Impact Allen was much more efficient than Breece Hall, who turned 10 carries and five targets into only 18 scrimmage yards. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound rookie is averaging 4.8 yards per carry compared to 3.1 for Hall, and per Connor Hughes of SportsNet New York, coach Robert Saleh said after the game that the team will look into giving Allen more goal-line carries moving forward after Hall was denied on back-to-back rush attempts from the 1-yard line in the first half. If Hall continues to struggle in Week 5 against the VIkings in London, Allen could be called upon to play a larger role.
