The Jets' fourth-round draft pick Braelon Allen has emerged as a standout player during OTA practices, prompting many to believe he has already secured the RB2 role. Despite his impressive performance, though, Allen remains stuck behind one of the league's best all-around running backs (Breece Hall), limiting his opportunities to see the field unless Hall suffers an injury.
However, if Allen manages to carve out a role in the Jets' offense, his size and speed combination make him an intriguing prospect. Standing at 6-2 and weighing 235 lbs, Allen averaged over 3.6 yards after contact per attempt during his collegiate career, with nearly 5.9 yards per attempt and 35 rushing touchdowns. Additionally, he has received high praise for his pass-catching ability in Jets camp, indicating potential as an every-down back if Hall is sidelined.
For now, Allen should be considered a pure handcuff, but his potential makes him an interesting late-round pick. If given the opportunity, Allen could prove to be a valuable asset in the Jets' backfield.

Breece Hall Doubtful for Week 14, knee injury Jets expected to be without their top running back By: Mike Krueger | Fri Dec 6, 1:48 pm
| | Jeff Ulbrich says CB Sauce Gardner (hamstring) and RB Breece Hall (knee) are doubtful to play against the Dolphins "barring something magical happening" the next couple of days.
LB C.J. Mosley will be placed on IR with the herniated disk in his neck. #Jets (Dennis Waszak Jr. on X)
FFToday's Take: Breece missed practice all week with a knee injury and seems unlikely to play this week against the Dolphins. In his absence we should expect Braelon Allen and Isiah Davis to get the majority of running back work. Allen will be the preferred fantasy play and figures to be an RB2 wiht low-end RB1 upside.
