From the article

Judkins ranked RB17 and Allen RB16. I don't think either running back gets there... Allen hasn't done well, either. Among the same sample of running backs, he ranks 28th in yards per carry (3.64), 38th in explosive run rate (3.1%) and 26th in rush yards over expectation (-17.6).

Allen won't crack top-20 RBs despite RB16 ranking; poor efficiency outside red zone.

Allen is ranked RB16 in half-PPR ECR for Week 5, but the source predicts he won't finish as a top-20 RB. The Jets-Browns matchup features low team totals (21.0 and 18.5 points) and sluggish pace, limiting volume. Among 39 RBs with 30+ carries, Allen ranks 28th in yards per carry (3.64), 38th in explosive run rate (3.1%), and 26th in rush yards over expectation (-17.6). He's a successful short-yardage runner (tied for 3rd in stuff rate at 33.3%, tied for 13th in success rate at 54.5%), but both he and Judkins are reliant on reaching the end zone to finish as top-20 RBs this week.
