BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Allen began the season as the RB2 on the Jets’ depth chart and the clear backup to Breece Hall. However, Allen is carving out his own role in the offense and has legitimately looked like a good running back at the NFL level.
FAAB: 40%
Yards Per Carry
- Week 1: 8.0
- Week 2: 4.7
- Week 3: 5.0Season-high 14 opportunities Week 3.
3+ targets in each of the last two games played.
Allen has reached weekly flex status in deeper leagues.

The rookie running back has seen his playing time increase since Week 1 and has played quite well. He has actually performed better than Hall in Next Gen Stats Rush Yards Over Expected (RYOE) and RYOE Per Attempt. This doesn’t mean Allen will take over the backfield, but it does support the eye test and confirms Allen can play.
Should Hall ever be forced to miss action, Allen can produce at a high level. Not only is he one of the top handcuffs, but he also offers standalone value as a potential flex play in deeper leagues. Allen is a priority add if he’s still on waivers in your league.
The Jets have such a strong defense that running the ball and chewing some clock helps to keep the unit fresh. Hall and Allen are a nice 1-2 punch in that regard.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants.
