I expect Braelon Allen to draw another start this week for the Jets with Breece Hall sidelined. Last week, Allen only finished as the RB33 in weekly scoring with 16 touches and 67 total yards, but he operated as the Jets' bell cow. Last week, Allen played 93.8% of the snaps with all of the rushing attempts and a 66.7% route share. Allen still hasn't been impressive on a per-touch basis with only a 3.1% explosive run rate, 1.88 yards after contact per attempt, and a 15% missed tackle rate. When he's seeing this type of volume and workload, it almost doesn't matter, though. The Browns' run defense will be more giving this week. Cleveland has allowed the second-highest explosive run rate, the sixth-most yards after contact per attempt, and the 12th-highest missed tackle rate. Allen should be a solid RB2 this week.

Braelon Allen runs for 59 yards in Week 4 loss

Braelon Allen carried the ball 14 times for 59 yards while catching both of his targets for eight yards in a 23-12 loss to the Bears in Week 4.

Fantasy Impact

Allen got all of the backfield touches but wasn't able to do much with them, averaging just 4.2 yards per carry in the loss. With Breece Hall (quad) looking at least another week or two away from returning, Allen should operate as the Jets' lead back again in Week 5 against the Browns.
