20-Year-Old Running BackRB
New York Jets
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

Fades after strong start to season
RBNew York Jets
January 6, 2025
Allen rushed four times for 15 yards while catching two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes his rookie season with 92 carries for 334 yards and two touchdowns, as well as 19 catches for 148 yards and one touchdown on 27 targets.
ANALYSIS
Allen won the top backup job behind Breece Hall in training camp and showed promise early, with two of the fourth-round draft pick's three total touchdowns coming Week 2 against the Titans. The rookie wore down and averaged just 3.1 yards per carry from Week 5 onward, and by the end of the year, 2024 fifth-round draft pick Isaiah Davis was splitting backup duties with Allen. The crowded nature of the Jets backfield will make it difficult for Allen to shine in 2025, though the 235-pound running back's big frame makes him a strong candidate for goal-line work.

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.
