Michael Penn does not view Braelon Allen as a startable name in a healthy scenario; he will function as a pure handcuff only, lacking standalone fantasy value unless the starter (Breece Hall) is injured.

Automatically jam this week. Has three-down back potential with the size to be a three-down RB.
