Braelon Allen A Flex Option In Week 5
2 months agoNew 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.
