Braelon Allen (Jets) at Chiefs: This is just to say that, although the Jets are optimistic No. 1 RB Breece Hall (quad) will return in Week 9, they also hoped he'd play in Week 8, and he didn't. In fact, he last played in Week 3, and in his absence Allen has been a menace over the past five games (15.2 fantasy points per game, 574 yards, 2 TDs on 93 carries, 17 targets, 84 Utilization Score).

Allen's elite fill-in production supports upgrade despite tough matchup and road-dog status.

Allen gets an upgrade because No. 1 RB Breece Hall (quad) might miss another game or be limited in Week 9 after missing since Week 3. In Hall's absence, Allen has been a menace over the past five games (15.2 fantasy points per game, 574 yards, 2 TDs on 93 carries, 17 targets, 84 Utilization Score). Although it's less than ideal that the Chiefs are No. 4 in defensive rush SR (34.8%) and the Jets are +9.5 road dogs, Allen has the three-down skill set to survive any game script (82% rush share, 58% route rate since Week 4).
