Fades after strong start to season Allen rushed four times for 15 yards while catching two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes his rookie season with 92 carries for...

Impact Allen won the top backup job behind Breece Hall in training camp and showed promise early, with two of the fourth-round draft pick's three total touchdowns coming in Week 2 against the Titans. The rookie wore down and averaged just 3.1 yards per carry from Week 5 onward, and by the end of the year, 2024 fifth-round draft pick Isaiah Davis was splitting backup duties with Allen. The crowded nature of the Jets backfield will make it difficult for Allen to shine in 2025, though the 235-pound running back's big frame makes him a strong candidate for goal-line work.

Six carries in Week 17 Allen rushed six times for 26 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Bills.

Impact Allen was stuffed on a fourth-and-1 just outside the red zone to end the Jets' opening drive, setting the tone for what turned into another disappointing afternoon for New York. He finished third on the team in rushing behind Breece Hall (10 carries for 45 yards) and Isaiah Davis (three carries for 35 yards). All three running backs will probably see action in Week 18 against the Dolphins, with Hall likely to maintain the lead role over Allen and Davis.

Three touches in loss to Rams Allen (back) rushed twice for five yards and caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to the Rams.

Impact Allen matched Isaiah Davis' total of three touches while Breece Hall led the Jets backfield with 19 touches. While Allen will likely be healthy enough to suit up in Week 17 against the Bills, his fantasy upside is minimal as he splits backup duties.

Available versus Rams Allen (back) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Impact Allen, who was limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday, practiced fully Friday, but was still deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. With his availability versus Los Angeles confirmed, Allen and Isaiah Davis are in line to work behind Breece Hall, a context that limits the 2024 fourth-rounder's Week 16 fantasy lineup upside.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

In line to play Allen (back) remains listed as questionable but is considered good to go for Sunday's game against the Rams, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact Allen should be formally cleared to play when the Jets release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Though he was limited in the Jets' first two Week 16 practices, Allen assuaged most of the concerns about his health by turning in a full session Friday. The rookie fourth-round pick and Isaiah Davis are slated to fill backup roles Sunday behind Breece Hall in the New York backfield.

Questionable for Week 16 Allen (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Rams, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Allen and fellow reserve RB Isaiah Davis (back) followed an LP/LP/FP practice regimen this week, but only the former has a designation for Week 16. Breece Hall remains the Jets' lead runner heading into the home stretch of the season, but Allen may now cede direct backup duties to Davis if he's among the team's inactives ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Questionable for Week 16 Allen (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Rams, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Allen and fellow reserve back Isaiah Davis (back) were limited in the first two practices of Week 16 prep before upgrading to full activity Friday, but only the former has a designation for Sunday. Breece Hall remains the Jets' lead runner heading into the home stretch of the season, but Allen may now cede direct backup duties to Davis if he's inactive in Week 16.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still limited at practice Allen (back) was limited at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The same applies to fellow RB Isaiah Davis (back), as both were also limited at practice Wednesday. Allen will presumably need to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Rams without an injury designation, but with Breece Hall not on the Jets' Week 16 injury report, Allen doesn't have a clear path to volume if he's available this weekend.

Opens week with limited practice Allen (back) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact It's a good sign that Allen practiced in any capacity after failing to finish this past Sunday's 32-25 win over the Jaguars. Fellow backup running back Isaiah Davis (back) was also limited Wednesday, while Breece Hall practiced without limitations. Now that Hall's over the knee injury that cost him Week 14 and likely limited his workload Week 15, Allen and Davis could see limited touches even if they play Sunday against the Rams.

Minus Breece Hall, Jets Young RBs Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis Flash in Loss to Dolphins Rookies Combine for 83 Rushing Yards, 65 Receiving Yards

DECEMBER 9, 2024 • NEWYORKJETS.COM

Splits with Allen in Hall's absence Allen rushed 11 times for 43 yards while catching four of five targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 32-26 overtime loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Allen split evenly with Isaiah Davis in the absence of lead back Breece Hall (knee), as both rookie running backs had 16 combined carries and targets. The biggest play between the two was a 17-yard touchdown run by Davis in the second quarter, while Allen has still scored only once since his two-touchdown performance back in Week 2. If Hall remains unavailable in Week 15, both Allen and Davis would have substantial fantasy value against the vulnerable Jacksonville defense.

Set to help fill in for Hall Allen is expected to take on an expanded role out of the Jets backfield Sunday against the Dolphins with Breece Hall (knee) ruled out for the contest, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com repor...

Impact Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Jets aren't planning on shutting Hall down for the season, but with the star tailback set to miss his first game of 2024 on Sunday, Allen could be in store for the biggest snap and touch counts of his young career. Allen hasn't played more than 36 percent of snaps or handled more than 14 touches in any of the Jets' first 12 games, and though he reeled off some impressive runs early on in the season, he's averaging just 2.8 yards per carry over his last eight outings. Despite the poor results of late, the 6-foot-1, 235-pound Allen still looks best suited to serve as the Jets' top option on early downs, though he may cede pass-catching duties to fellow rookie Isaiah Davis, who recorded three receptions for 28 yards and a touchdown in the Week 13 loss to the Seahawks. The Jets may also look to give a few snaps to the speedy Kene Nwangwu, who returned a kickoff 99 yards for a touchdown last week.

Seven touches against Seahawks Allen rushed five times for 11 yards and caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Breece Hall got only 12 touches while playing through a knee injury, but third-stringer Isaiah Davis saw a bigger uptick in usage than Allen, as Davis scored his first NFL touchdown on one of his career-high four touches. With Hall still firmly entrenched atop the depth chart and Davis pushing for a larger role, Allen continues to have minimal short-term fantasy value ahead of a Week 14 trip to Miami.

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.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.
