Braelon Allen: Lead role Sunday vs. Dolphins

Braelon Allen will remain the Jets' No. 1 back in Week 7 against the Dolphins.

By Cole Hartwell

Braelon Allen will remain the Jets’ No. 1 back for Sunday’s Week 7 matchup against the Dolphins, according to RotoWire. Breece Hall has been declared inactive for the contest.

What happened

Hall is inactive for Sunday’s Week 7 matchup against the Dolphins. Hall has missed three games with a quad strain, and it’s a bit early for him to return.

Context

Allen has 56.9 PPR points, 74 carries for 314 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, plus 13 targets for 9 catches and 45 receiving yards this season. He has played 61% of the Jets’ offensive snaps. In Week 6, Allen had 17 carries for 78 rushing yards and caught both of his targets for 26 receiving yards, good for 12.4 PPR points on 87% of snaps.

Depth chart

Hall is the Jets’ RB1, and Allen is listed as RB2. Hall has 42.5 PPR points, 51 carries for 163 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown, plus 10 catches for 102 receiving yards in three games. Isaiah Davis is RB3 with 6.3 PPR points and 9 carries for 24 rushing yards this season. Andrew Beck is RB4 and has played 5% of snaps.

What’s next

The Jets host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, October 25.

🏈 Fantasy impact

With Hall inactive, Allen is the clear lead back and should be started as a volume-based RB2. In Week 6 with Hall out, Allen played 87% of snaps and produced 12.4 PPR points. He has 18.6 and 8.7 PPR points in Weeks 5 and 4, respectively. His Week 7 projection is only 7.4 PPR points, but that likely underestimates his expected workload. Start Allen against the Dolphins. Isaiah Davis is the next man up and could see a few touches, but he has only 6.3 PPR points all season and is not a reliable fantasy option.
