2024 Fantasy Outlook
Allen's prospect profile out of Wisconsin is incomplete after he declined to run a 40-yard dash ahead of the 2024 Draft, but he was generally a productive player in college and could prove useful in the NFL too. At 6-1, 235, the fourth-round pick relies on size and power rather than speed or agility, and with the Badgers he stomped his way to 1,268 rushing yards as a 17-year-old true freshman. Allen's age could actually be a detriment in the short term -- he won't turn 21 until January -- but fellow Jets running backs Israel Abanikanda and Isaiah Davis both are unproven in their own right. One of the three is expected to emerge as the backup to Breece Hall, who figures to be one of the more heavily used lead backs in the league. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Dip in workload likely Sunday
RBNew York Jets
December 14, 2024
Allen is expected to see a decrease in his workload during Sunday's Week 15 game against the Jaguars as a result of Breece Hall being expected to play through his questionable tag, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.
ANALYSIS
Allen opened the Week 14 overtime loss to the Dolphins that Hall sat out due to his knee injury as the starting running back, but he logged just one more carry than fellow rookie backfield mate Isaiah Davis, who also was the only one of the two to score a touchdown. Consequently, it remains to be seen how the division of labor in the ground attack will unfold Sunday if Hall does play as expected.
