Fantasy Football Player Notes

After posting three consecutive top-15 weekly finishes to start the year, Breece Hall scored just 2.8 fantasy points in a 10-9 home loss to the Denver Broncos. Things may not get much better for Hall when he faces off with Minnesota's top-ranked defense in Week 5. The Vikings have held three of four primary backs (Jordan Mason being the lone exception) outside of the top 20 in fantasy points during their 4-0 start to the season. Hall's ability to catch passes out of the backfield should help him buck that trend, but fantasy managers should temper expectations in this matchup.

Allen has played 32-36% of the snaps weekly, averaging 10.7 touches and 56.7 total yards. Allen is the RB37 in fantasy points per game. He has been extremely efficient with his touches, ranking fifth in missed tackles forced per attempt and yards after contact per attempt. Despite that fact, this isn't a week to consider flexing Allen. Minnesota has been incredible as a run defense, allowing the lowest explosive run rate, the 11th-lowest missed tackle rate, and the second-fewest rushing yards per game.
