Fantasy Impact:
This injury is a blow to the Jets, who are already thin at the cornerback position after injuries to Dee Milliner, Dexter McDougle and Dimiri Patterson. Allen, who was a strong contender to start at safety, was converted to cornerback to plug the hole left by the three starters at the position. He was a possible flyer in IDP redraft leagues, but this concussion could be a blow to his fantasy value.
