However, with Hall returning last week in the loss to the Chiefs and taking back his lead role (87 total yards on 18 touches), Allen saw only 10 touches, finishing with 54 total yards (5.4 points). If the game script stays on track here, Hall should be viewed as a mid-to-lower-tier RB2, while Allen (27% start rate in Week 9) slips down to the flex range for the next three matchups (BUF, @LAC, @MIA) due to declining volume.
