Brilland Allen has been so much more of an effective runner this year than Bree Hall... one of the waiverwire ads of the year... one of the better late round picks... Brilland Allen's 22 years old...

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Waiver gem with elite efficiency; 21 carries, 147 yards, TD in Week 8; 8th in YAC/rush.

Allen has emerged as a waiver-wire gem and late-round value play, delivering consistent production over the last month. In Week 8, he posted 21 carries for 147 yards, 1 TD, and 2 catches; he has recorded 78+ yards in four straight weeks and 100+ yards in three of four games. Statistically, Allen ranks eighth in yards after contact per rush (same offensive line and QB as Breece Hall, who ranks 45th), and only Jalen Gibbs, Christian McCaffrey, and Kaelan Williams have higher running back success rates. At 22 years old, Allen will be 24 at free agency, making him a young, cost-controlled asset with elite efficiency metrics and proven late-round draft value. The source emphasizes Allen's youth and strong running performance, suggesting his role cannot easily be reversed once Breece Hall returns, as the Jets have been competitive with Allen in games.
