FantasyPros Articles on Braelon Allen
From the article
Braelon Allen operated as the lead back for a, let's call it, hapless Jets offense with 16 total touches versus the Bears in Week 4. In his chance to operate as the lead back last week, he turned 16 touches into just 67 scoreless yards. For the season, that number is even worse, sitting at 3.6 YPC. I can't get behind Braelon Allen inside the top 40 in Week 5. The Browns are stingy against the run, ranking 25th in fantasy points allowed to running backs (14.6 per game).
STACKED’s take
Allen's 3.6 YPC and 67 scoreless yards vs. Bears make him a fade at RB20.
Allen operated as the lead back for the hapless Jets offense with 16 total touches versus the Bears in Week 4. Next up is a home date with the Cleveland Browns, who have allowed at least 82 yards to lead backs in each of their first three weeks but have not allowed a rushing score yet. While Allen is the lead dog, there are questions about this Jets offense after such a letdown performance. In his chance to operate as the lead back last week, he turned 16 touches into just 67 scoreless yards. For the season, his yards per carry sits at 3.6 YPC, which is poor. Allen is expected to struggle again this week against Cleveland, who rank 25th in fantasy points allowed to running backs (14.6 per game). At RB20, you are starting him, but he cannot be confidently recommended. Unless truly desperate, Allen should not be started in any leagues where there is an alternative.
