From the episode

for me, it's Braylon Allen. We'll get into Ollie Gordon in a second, obviously. But, you know, Devon A. Chan, he's out for the year with that torn ACL. You see it there on your screen in terms of some of the major running back injuries. Brees Hall has that quad injury. Looks like it's going to be a couple of weeks.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Allen is top waiver RB pickup; 100% of snaps with Hall out, good Bears matchup.

Braylon Allen is Matthew Berry's number one waiver wire pickup at running back. After Breece Hall left the game with a quad injury (expected to sideline him a couple of weeks), Allen played 100% of the running back snaps. Berry likes the matchup against the Bears, who are giving up almost five yards per carry (fourth most in the NFL). While Ollie Gordon has the longer leash as the primary back, Allen will have the most fantasy impact in the short term. The Jets like Allen as a talented player who gets red zone opportunities, though he's not a big part of the passing game. Berry expects Allen to carve out a role even when Hall returns if he performs well.
