20-Year-Old Running BackRB
New York Jets
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Allen's prospect profile out of Wisconsin is incomplete after he declined to run a 40-yard dash ahead of the 2024 Draft, but he was generally a productive player in college and could prove useful in the NFL too. At 6-1, 235, the fourth-round pick relies on size and power rather than speed or agility, and with the Badgers he stomped his way to 1,268 rushing yards as a 17-year-old true freshman. Allen's age could actually be a detriment in the short term -- he won't turn 21 until January -- but fellow Jets running backs Israel Abanikanda and Isaiah Davis both are unproven in their own right. One of the three is expected to emerge as the backup to Breece Hall, who figures to be one of the more heavily used lead backs in the league. Read Past Outlooks

Back to reduced role Thursday
RBNew York Jets
October 31, 2024
Allen rushed four times for nine yards and failed to bring in his only target in the Jets' 21-13 win over the Texans on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Allen logged 12 carries and a rushing touchdown in Week 8 against the Patriots, but four days later, the rookie was back under 10 rushing yards and without a catch for the third time in the last four games. Allen's usage is clearly volatile from week to week despite the success he's enjoyed at times, leaving him as an unreliable option for a Week 10 road matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 10.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Favorite for backup spot
RBNew York Jets
May 29, 2024
Allen is the early frontrunner to serve as starting running back Breece Hall's top backup in 2024, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Allen has stood out in OTAs so far as both a pass catcher and a pass protector, which could earn the 2024 fourth-round draft pick out of Wisconsin some third-down playing time. Allen's 6-foot-1, 235-pound frame should allow him to see the field as a bruising inside runner in short-yardage situations as well. He's competing for touches against fellow youngsters Israel Abanikanda and Isaiah Davis, as well as Xazavian Valladay and the recently signed Tarik Cohen. However, early indications are that Allen has emerged as the clear leader in that group for the second spot on the Jets' depth chart.
