News: 6 days agoAllen rushed twice for 11 yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Bills.

Spin: Allen had just two touches to Breece Hall's 12, suggesting the former remains a distant second on the Jets' depth chart. The entire offense struggled in this one and actually picked up the pace down the stretch after Justin Fields (concussion) exited in the fourth quarter. Allen's outlook is unlikely to change if Fields misses additional action, in which case Tyrod Taylor would start under center.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Allen is back for Year 2 in New York after soaking up 111 touches as a rookie. The 2024 fourth-round pick quickly stepped into a change-of-pace role behind Breece Hall and was utilized as both a rusher (5.4 carries per game) and receiver (1.7 targets per game). His efficiency wasn't overly impressive (3.6 YPC, 5.1 YPT) and he eventually deferred some work to 2024 fifth-rounder Isaiah Davis, but it's notable that he's still one of the league's youngest backs at 21-years-old. Despite speculation of a committee approach, Hall figures to remain the lead, or at least �1A' back this season, with Allen and Davis battling for the rest of the touches. That won't be enough for consistent fantasy output. Allen is only worth a late pick in deep leagues.
