Jets' Braelon Allen: Handling lead role again Sunday
Braelon Allen will remain the New York Jets' No. 1 back for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Dolphins, as Breece Hall has been declared inactive for the contest.With Hall unavailable for a fourth straight game Sunday, Allen will have a chance to build on the averages of 18.3 rush attempts, 84.3 rushing yards, 1.7 receptions and 11.3 receiving yards he's generated in the lead role over his teammate's first three absences. Despite their winless record, the Dolphins have been respectable defending the run, allowing 4.0 yards per carry to running backs, albeit while also conceding a 25-197-5 receiving line to the position.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Week 7 role uncertain
Braelon Allen's workload and role Sunday against Miami is unclear given that Breece Hall (quadriceps) is officially questionable to play, per Amanda Vogt of the New York Jets' official site.With Hall sidelined the past three weeks, Allen has stepped up to lead New York's backfield. He's performed well in that role, averaging 84.3 rush yards per game and 4.6 yards per carry, albeit with only one touchdown. Hall will likely step back into the starting role if he's able to suit up Sunday, though Allen is expected to get a fair amount of work as well. Even if Hall does return to action, both ball carriers could find success against a Dolphins defense that has given up the second-most fantasy points per game (23.7) to running backs.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Eclipses 100 scrimmage yards in loss
Braelon Allen rushed 17 times for 78 yards and brought in both targets for 26 yards in the New York Jets' 26-19 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.Allen served as the Jets' clear lead back during Breece Hall's second straight absence due to a quadriceps injury, and the former put together a productive effort that featured a new season high in receiving yards. Allen has acquitted himself very well as the No. 1 option over the last two games, posting 194 rushing yards and a touchdown alongside three receptions and the 26 receiving yards he accrued Sunday. If Hall remains sidelined in Week 7, Allen will get a crack at a beatable Dolphins defense at home.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Breaks out for 116 yards, TD
Braelon Allen rushed 24 times for 116 yards and a touchdown while catching one of four targets for no gain in Sunday's 17-12 win over the Browns.Allen ran in the go-ahead 22-yard touchdown with 3:01 remaining, and the New York Jets' defense held twice after that to secure the team's second win of the season. The 2024 fourth-round pick handled lead-back duties for the second consecutive game in the absence of Breece Hall (quadriceps), notching 25 touches to Isaiah Davis' three.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Will be RB1 again for Week 5
Braelon Allen will once again operate as the New York Jets' top running back for Sunday's game against the Browns due to the absence of Breece Hall (quadriceps).Hall will miss a second consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury, and the star running back has yet to be cleared to return to practice. As such, Allen will be the Jets' RB1 against Cleveland, with Isaiah Davis and Kene Nwangwu providing backfield depth. Allen was the starter for the Jets' Week 4 loss to the Bears, when he turned 14 carries into 59 yards and added two catches (on as many targets) for eight yards.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Set for more work with Hall injured
Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis will man the New York Jets backfield for as long as Breece Hall (thigh) is potentially sidelined, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.Hall exited in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss at Detroit due to a thigh injury, and afterward he relayed that he "felt something" while running, per Brian Costello of the New York Post. Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter of ESPN then reported Monday that Hall is considered week-to-week. While Hall hasn't outright been ruled out for Week 4 or beyond, Allen currently ranks second on the team in carries with 19, which have gone for 61 yards, while Davis hasn't logged an offensive snap through three contests to begin the season. As a result, Allen is the better bet to take advantage of an absent Hall, if that comes to pass.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Handles 10 carries behind workhorse Hall
Braelon Allen rushed 10 times for 40 yards in the New York Jets' 23-10 win over the Titans on Sunday.Allen failed to secure his lone target in the pass game. With Breece Hall past his groin issue, he operated as the clear RB1 in a workhorse role, rushing 22 times for 102 yards and one touchdown while adding two catches for 16 yards. Hall out-snapped Allen 39 to 27, cementing the former as an RB2 with RB1 upside for fantasy, especially if the Jets can get into positive game scripts like they had in Tennessee on Sunday. Allen is an upper-tier fantasy bench stash at the position.
