I do believe that Allen is good. I do believe he is going to get red zone carries, since he did plenty of that last year before he got hurt. The Titans traded out T'Vondre Sweat for John-Franklin Myers in a move I think will make harder for them to stuff the run.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Allen's red zone role and weak Titans run defense make him the source's top sub-$5K RB play.

At $4,700 on DraftKings, Allen is the source's strongest Week 1 FLEX play among sub-$5,000 running backs. The source believes Allen will get red zone carries (as he did before injury last year) and notes the Titans traded T'Vondre Sweat for John-Franklin Myers, a move expected to weaken their run defense (ranked 21st in DVOA last year). The Titans' linebacker room is depleted with their only recognizable starter nursing a concussion, further supporting run-game opportunity.
