If Breece Hall is out, Braelon Allen expected to be the primary running back for the Jets; ranked RB16 if Hall is out (up from RB18 if Hall plays) because Allen has played well enough to eat into Hall's workload. Ranked ahead of Chase Brown, Asher Genty, and Quan Judkins when Hall is active.PositiveProjectionOct 23, 2026
If Breece Hall is out, Ian Hartitz has Braelon Allen as RB1; if Hall returns, Allen slots closer to RB18 range. Hartitz highlights Allen as a pure between-the-tackles runner who could serve as a nice change-of-pace option.PositiveProjectionOct 21, 2026
Ranked RB11 for week 7 against the Miami Dolphins, who allow the second-worst defense in PPR points per game. Playing a near-every-down role with Breece Hall sidelined, Hartitz treats him as an RB1 in Hall's absence. At 22 years old, Allen is demonstrating superior rushing efficiency compared to Hall: 48.6% of carries gaining 3+ yards after contact versus Hall's league-worst 21.6% among 54 qualified RBs. Hartitz positions Allen as a waiver wire darling who could capitalize on favorable upcoming matchups (weeks 7–12) if Breece Hall remains sidelined.PositiveRoleOct 16, 2026

Ian Hartitz ranks Allen RB12 for week 5 based on 94% snap rate with the Jets (who ran only 32 plays), minimal competition from Isaiah Davis, yards-after-contact efficiency (10th among 46 qualified RBs in carries gaining 3+ yards after contact), and a winnable matchup against the Browns' weak run defense (further compromised by Mason Graham's knee/ankle injury).
