Does Braelon Allen Deserve a Permanent Role in the NY Jets Backfield??m#bestball #fantasyfootball

Allen has been elite as a runner, ranked number one in rush yards over expected success rate with 52% of his runs gaining more yards than expected, and running back 11 in rush yards over expected per game. However, he offers no pass-catching ability, creating a split backfield role with Breece Hall where Allen handles rushing duties while Hall operates as a space/receiving player in a young Aaron Jones or Jordan Mason archetype role.

Hall is expected to play despite initial injury uncertainty and questionable designation; beat reporters indicated he looked great in practice. The source projects Hall will transition to a space/receiving role similar to a young Aaron Jones or better Jordan Mason archetype, rather than a traditional full-back role, given his strength in creating yards on his own but recent weakness in yards after contact. This split role with Braelon Allen's rushing dominance is the likely outcome, with Allen ranked number one in rush yards over expected success rate (52% of his runs gaining more yards than expected, running back 11 in rush yards over expected per game) but offering no pass-catching ability.
