Allen will once again operate as the Jets' primary running back for Sunday's game against the Patriots due to the absence of Breece Hall (quadriceps).
Allen had a huge part in the Jets' Week 5 win over the Browns, totalling 116 yards and a touchdown over 24 rushes. The running back is set to reprise his role as one of the team's foremost offensive weapons against the Patriots on Sunday as Breece Hall (quadriceps) continues to recover.
Allen will once again operate as the Jets' top running back for Sunday's game against the Browns due to the absence of Breece Hall (quadriceps).
Hall will miss a second consecutive game due to a quadriceps injury, and the star running back has yet to be cleared to return to practice. As such, Allen will be the Jets' RB1 versus Cleveland, with Isaiah Davis and Kene Nwangwu providing backfield depth. Allen was the starter for the Jets' Week 4 loss to the Bears, when he turned 14 carries into 59 yards and added two catches (on as many targets) for eight yards.
Allen rushed five times for seven yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Packers.
Allen scored a touchdown in the second quarter of Sunday's game on a five-yard rush. The running back played 23 offensive snaps in the contest, seeing supplemental volume behind No. 1 running back Breece Hall's 47 snaps and 16 carries.
Above the line the plan was to throw; below it, to run.
The RBs priced immediately above and below him.
