Video: Week 5 Fantasy Football RB Ranks and Tiers: Buy Bhayshul Tuten, Braelon Allen RB12?! MORE
RB12, I got Braelon Allen, guys... The Jets only ran 32 plays last week, and Allen was on the field for 94% of them... among 46 qualified running backs, Braelon Allen is 10th... I think Braelon Allen's a pretty solid running back... Braelon Allen for me based on the usage and a winnable enough matchup RB12 ahead of week five

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Hartitz ranks Allen RB12 on elite snap rate, YAC efficiency, and weak Browns run defense.

Ian Hartitz ranks Allen RB12 for week 5 based on 94% snap rate with the Jets (who ran only 32 plays), minimal competition from Isaiah Davis, yards-after-contact efficiency (10th among 46 qualified RBs in carries gaining 3+ yards after contact), and a winnable matchup against the Browns' weak run defense (further compromised by Mason Graham's knee/ankle injury). Despite a raw 3.6 yards per carry, Allen's ability to push piles and his youth/athleticism suggest he's underrated; Hartitz views him as a solid running back with top-12 upside this week.
