Allen (hip) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Allen played one offensive snap in the Jaguars' 34-10 win over the Browns last Sunday, suggesting he doesn't have much of a role on offense behind Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez. Allen can be ignored in redraft fantasy leagues.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Barely sees field vs. Cleveland
Rotowire
Allen played one offensive snap and didn't show up in the box score otherwise during Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.
The 2025 seventh-rounder was cleared to play Week 1 after being limited by a hip injury, but he was an afterthought in the Jaguars backfield behind Bhayshul Tuten (28 snaps), Chris Rodriguez (23) and Ameer Abdullah (five). Perhaps the hip was still an issue for Allen, but he's unlikely to see much playing time on offense unless Tuten or Rodriguez were to miss time.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Suiting up in Week 1
Rotowire
Allen (hip) is active for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Browns.
The change-of-pace back carried a questionable tag into Sunday morning after putting in limited sessions Thursday and Friday, but Allen is all set to suit up versus Cleveland. The second-year pro logged a modest 33 touches from scrimmage across 17 regular-season games during his 2025 rookie campaign, and despite Travis Etienne's departure in free agency this offseason, Allen is slated to remain in a reserve role behind the top RB duo of Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez to open the season.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Questionable for Sunday's game
Rotowire
Allen (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
Allen missed about three weeks of practice before returning Thursday and Friday as a limited participant. The Jaguars have Ameer Abdullah on hand to fill in as a competent passing-down specialist if Allen isn't active ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Limited in return to practice
Rotowire
Allen (hip) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
Allen missed the second half of training camp due to what the Jaguars had previously labeled as a soft-tissue injury before he was listed with a hip issue when the team released its first Week 1 injury report Wednesday. The 22-year-old remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice, but he was able to go through individual drills during the open portion of Thursday's session, per Rachel Phillips of First Coast News. Allen's level of activity was enough for him to get upgraded to limited participation, but he may still need to put in a full practice Friday to have a realistic shot at playing in Sunday's season opener versus the Browns. When available, Allen projects to serve as the Jaguars' top passing-down back, though Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez will both be prioritized ahead of him on the ground.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Shaping up as game-time call Week 1
Rotowire
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said Wednesday that Allen (soft-tissue injury) is trending toward a game-time decision for Sunday's season opener versus the Browns, Ryan O'Halloran of The Florida Times-Union reports.
The soft-tissue injury kept Allen out for the final two weeks of training camp, and the running back apparently still isn't 100 percent healthy heading into Week 1 prep. Allen's practice activity Wednesday through Friday will likely determine whether he suits up Sunday, but if he's ultimately unable to play against the Browns, the Jaguars could turn to Chris Rodriguez and Ameer Abdullah to handle more reps out of the backfield on passing downs.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: More targets on tap in Year 2?
Rotowire
Allen has seen an uptick in pass-catching opportunities during training camp, which could lead to an expanded receiving role during the regular season, Josh Shipley of SI.com reports.
Allen excelled in pass protection as a rookie, but the 2025 seventh-round pick saw only 23 rushing attempts and 11 targets during the 2025 regular season. He was a productive pass catcher at Syracuse, notching 64 receptions in 2024. Allen could be ticketed for the majority of opportunities in passing situations while Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez split early-down work.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: One carry in Week 17
Rotowire
Allen returned two kickoffs for 58 yards and rushed once for three yards during Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts.
The 2025 seventh-round pick operated as the Jaguars' No. 2 running back for the second consecutive week while Bhayshul Tuten (finger) was sidelined during Sunday's win. However, this didn't translate to an increase in production, as Allen received just one offensive touch. Through 16 appearances this season, Allen has rushed 23 times for 94 yards and caught 10 of 11 targets for 54 yards. Additionally, he's recorded 617 kick-return yards. Expect the rookie to continue serving as one of Jacksonville's top kick returners in the Week 18 matchup against the Titans.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Ready for larger role
Rotowire
Allen is poised to operate as the No. 2 running back behind Travis Etienne beginning Sunday at Denver, and as long as Bhayshul Tuten (finger) has to be sidelined, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.
Allen has regularly handled the No. 3 backfield role behind Tuten this year, but across 14 regular-season appearances he's looked solid in limited opportunities. On the season, Allen has carried the ball 18 times for 81 yards and secured 10 of 11 targets for 54 yards, while also piling up 486 yards as a kick returner. Head coach Liam Coen praised Allen as a player who "runs violently and has taken care of the football," while quarterback Trevor Lawrence expressed confidence that the rookie seventh-round pick will "take this opportunity, run with it, and play well." That said, Allen's first opportunity to show what he's capable of in the No. 2 role will come versus a stingy Denver defense, so it may be prudent not to set expectations too high.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Five touches in blowout win
Rotowire
Allen carried four times for 11 yards, caught his lone target for five yards and returned one kickoff for 50 yards during Sunday's 48-20 win against the Jets.
The rookie seventh-round pick played 18 offensive snaps, with most of his touches coming with Jacksonville leading comfortably during the fourth quarter. Allen continues to see sporadic playing time as a passing down back but has received more than two offensive touches in just two games this season.
Allen rushed eight times for 36 yards and returned two kickoffs for 55 yards during Sunday's 35-6 win against the Chargers.
Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) combined for 34 carries, with Allen stepping in for mop-up duty on the final drive of the blowout victory. Allen has played double-digit snaps in all but one game this season, but Sunday's contest was the first time he received more than two offensive touches. The rookie seventh-round pick could move up to No. 2 on the depth chart if Tuten is forced to miss some time, but Allen still wouldn't be likely to see much meaningful action if Etienne remains healthy.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Plays season-high 22 snaps
Rotowire
Allen had one carry for 10 yards and caught his only target for one yard during Sunday's 30-29 win against the Raiders.
The 21-year-old played a season-high 22 offensive snaps but was significantly less involved than fellow rookie tailback Bhayshul Tuten, who had 10 touches on 20 snaps. Allen has played double-digit offensive snaps in seven of eight games this year but has just five carries for 32 yards and six receptions for 35 yards. He appears locked in as the Jaguars' No. 3 running back behind Tuten and starter Travis Etienne.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Zero touches in MNF win
Rotowire
Allen didn't record a touch in the Jaguars' win over the Chiefs on Monday night.
Allen played 13 offensive snaps but didn't register a rushing attempt or see a target in the passing game. He has extremely minimal fantasy value while Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten are healthy.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Looks solidified as No. 3 RB
Rotowire
Allen rushed twice for 13 yards during Jacksonville's 31-27 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Allen took a step back to fellow rookie Bhayshul Tuten (eight carries for 42 yards, two catches for 32 yards and a score) in Week 2 after having handled more snaps than him Week 1. In the wake of Jacksonville trading Tank Bigsby, Tuten looks entrenched as the No. 2 man behind Travis Etienne, with Allen having lost out on the backup competition but still in line for opportunities for change-of-pace touches as the No. 3 man. The rookie seventh-round pick will work to keep making the most of his depth role Week 3 against the Texans.
