Should You Start or Sit Braelon Allen in Week 13?
There are more things wrong with the Jets than I have time to explain (keep reading, I’ll try). In short, New York’s offense isn’t functioning at a level to support All-Pros, making it impossible for a rookie like Braelon Allen to carve out any sort of meaningful role.
The explosive Wisconsin product caught six passes over his first three professional games, but Allen has only managed to haul in four since and has a total of 14 touches on his résumé over the past three weeks.
Long term, I think there’s a world in which Allen takes a step forward in Year 2 to form a dangerous backfield with Breece Hall. Yet, without volume or splash ability (none of his 72 touches this season have gained more than 20 yards), there’s not much to see here.
As a handcuff — if you have the luxury, sure, but are we sure that there is a single role in Gotham City these days that is a lock to be fantasy viable?
