Braelon Allen emerged as a short-yardage threat in 2024, highlighted by a big performance in Week 2 when he scored two touchdowns in just his second professional game. This breakout performance turned out to be fool's gold, however, as many fantasy managers scrambled to acquire the rookie before realizing that he was still firmly stuck behind Breece Hall in the Jets' backfield. Allen never reached double-digit fantasy points in another game in 2024.
With the Jets potentially leaning toward a three-man committee, Allen is the likely No. 2 option behind Hall. If Hall misses time, Allen would lead a committee approach, making him a valuable handcuff in deeper leagues. His role in a run-first offense under Glenn and Engstrand makes him an intriguing late-round flier, though his standalone value is limited unless Hall goes down.

 Braelon Allen headed to IR with knee injury
Out at least 4 weeks, maybe more
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Oct 2, 9:36 am
|  | RB Braelon Allen (knee) will be placed on IR today, per source. Surgery is possible. Still being evaluated. Too early to say if it's season-ending, though this appears to be more than just a 4-week return. #Jets will make a corresponding roster move. (Rich Cimini on X)
FFToday's Take: The Jets No.2 running back was injured on a kickoff return in Week 4 and is now in danger of missing an extended amount of time. With Allen out, Breece Hall should get some extra work as the short-yardage and goaline back and Isaiah Davis will move into the back-up role. Davis is worth a look as a bench stash.

Suffered MCL sprain in Week 4 loss

| | #Jets RB Braelon Allen, who was ruled out last night with a knee injury, suffered an MCL sprain that will likely land him on Injured Reserve, sources say. Allen is expected to receive additional opinions. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: Allen wasn't exactly turning it up as the player who was supposed to be the grinder back to complement Breece Hall entering the season. In his absence, expect Hall to handle at least 16 touches per week on a consistent basis and take over the goal-line work Allen had been handling. Isaiah Davis becomes an interesting name as well, since it seems fairly obvious that New York does not want one back handling all of the chores in this backfield.
