FantasyPros Articles on Braelon Allen
From the article
Braelon Allen might have been too good while Breece Hall was out for New York to stick him back into a change-of-pace role. Allen has shown per-touch efficiency this season that I didn't know he was capable of, with a STRONG 15.7% explosive run rate, 2.79 yards after contact per attempt, and a 22% missed tackle rate.
STACKED’s take
Allen's elite per-touch efficiency and strong recent role make him a hot-hand candidate.
Allen was so effective while Breece Hall was out that it may be difficult for Aaron Glenn to return him to a change-of-pace role. In Weeks 4-7, Allen averaged 20.8 touches and 105.3 total yards as the RB22 in fantasy points per game. Allen has demonstrated per-touch efficiency with a strong 15.7% explosive run rate, 2.79 yards after contact per attempt, and a 22% missed tackle rate. If the Jets employ a hot-hand approach mixing both backs, Allen's production could remain elevated. The Raiders' run defense has been wretched over their last five games, allowing the third-highest explosive run rate, highest rushing success rate, highest yards before contact per attempt, and third-highest missed tackle rate.
