Braelon Allen has seen his ADP rise significantly, now being drafted in the fourth round in some formats. Because of this price increase, he no longer offers a discount for fantasy managers.

The source warns that Braelon Allen managers should be concerned because Chris Rodriguez Jr.'s presence limits Allen's path to volume.

Allen is available even in the fifth round with a realistic path to top-14/15 scoring if he wins the Jacksonville backfield and secures the majority of carries and receiving work. This follows two consecutive seasons of Liam Coen backs (Bucky Irving 2024, Travis Etienne 2025) delivering significant ADP wins, suggesting the system consistently elevates running back production.
