From the article

With Hall expected to miss at least Week 4, Braelon Allen should serve as New York's lead back... Allen's numbers in those games weren't especially impressive, but the volume he should see as New York's lead back against a Bears defense allowing over 120 yards per game on the ground makes him this year's top add for fantasy managers who need a spot starter.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Allen takes over as Jets lead back with Hall out; faces Bears allowing 120+ rushing yards.

With Breece Hall sidelined by a thigh injury labeled as "week-to-week," Braelon Allen should serve as New York's lead back in Week 4. Allen told reporters: "I'm always ready. That's what I work for... if the opportunity is ever placed in my hands, I'm going to take full advantage of it." The source notes Allen made two starts as a rookie when Hall was injured, and while his numbers weren't especially impressive, the volume he should see as the lead back against a Bears defense allowing over 120 yards per game on the ground makes him the top add for fantasy managers needing a spot starter.
