FantasyPros Articles on Braelon Allen
From the article
Braelon Allen might have been too good while Breece Hall was out for New York to stick him back into a change-of-pace role. In Weeks 4-7, Allen averaged 20.8 touches and 105.3 total yards as the RB22 in fantasy points per game. Allen has shown per-touch efficiency this season that I didn't know he was capable of, with a STRONG 15.7% explosive run rate, 2.79 yards after contact per attempt, and a 22% missed tackle rate.
STACKED’s take
Allen's strong play may earn him continued role; elite efficiency vs. weak run defense.
Braelon Allen might have been too good while Breece Hall was out for New York to stick him back into a change-of-pace role. In Weeks 4-7, Allen averaged 20.8 touches and 105.3 total yards as the RB22 in fantasy points per game. Allen has shown strong per-touch efficiency with a 15.7% explosive run rate, 2.79 yards after contact per attempt, and 22% missed tackle rate. The source suggests if the Jets go with a hot hand approach, Allen's touches could remain high. The Raiders' run defense has been wretched, allowing the third-highest explosive run rate, highest rushing success rate, highest yards before contact per attempt, and third-highest missed tackle rate.
