Allen has been excellent for four straight weeks and the Jets likely cannot put the genie back in the bottle even if Breece Hall returns; the Raiders are allowing 5.0 YPC, providing a favorable rushing matchup.

Allen got in a full practice Thursday and is on track to play this week; he has shown he deserves more carries, but if Breece Hall returns, a committee backfield is expected.

Braelon Allen is going to have a relatively significant role in the Jets backfield as the team heads toward a Running Back by Committee scenario; Allen remains one of the highest-ceiling handcuffs in the league while also offering some semblance of standalone value in deeper league formats.

Allen has performed well in Hall's absence and has done too much for the Jets to be phased out completely. However, his fantasy value is now compromised by the expected return of Breece Hall, which will trigger a full-blown committee approach. Both backs' value will suffer as a result.

Allen is an RB2 if Hall misses another game and Allen is healthy enough for his usual workload. Allen has handled 58 carries over the past three games, averaging 3.80 yards after contact per carry this season (3rd among 42 qualified backs). A normal return for Hall would move Allen back to the RB3/flex range. Allen opened the week limited in practice with an ankle injury.

Ranked 27th among running backs for Week 8 in the borderline RB2 range; the source expects continued work from the coaching staff based on press conference commentary and believes the Jets organization likes Allen enough that they won't completely phase him out despite Hall's return. Allen is expected to maintain a significant role in a roughly 50/50 backfield split.

Allen was amongst the league's most productive runners over the past month, even in poor game environments, during Breece Hall's absence. Whether he maintains a two-man backfield role is far from assured—the Steelers immediately resumed Rico Dowdle usage upon his recent return—but Allen's recent production establishes him as a significant factor in the Jets' backfield.

Braelon Allen was amongst the league's most productive runners over the past month, even in some poor game environments, during Breece Hall's marathon absence; whether or not the Jets maintain a two-man backfield is far from assured, but Allen's recent production establishes him as a legitimate threat to Hall's previous high-end RB2 rank.

Breece Hall (quad) is expected back; the split and health details will be learned later in the week. Before breaking out as a downhill rusher, Allen was averaging just 6.3 expected half PPR points per game with 1.7 targets and 6.3 carries per game. Across all Jets games, the backfield is averaging 18.2 expected half PPR points based on usage, so if this is a 50/50 split, then we're talking about half PPR FLEX value at best; in full PPR, a better option is needed.
