Should You Start or Sit Braelon Allen in Week 18?
Allen is rarely getting 10 touches in this Jets offense, and I fear that is going to be the norm not just for this game but moving forward.
His 0.77 PPR points per touch this season don’t jump off the screen, but we don’t have nearly enough of a sample to make sweeping claims. It appears that Aaron Rodgers trusts Breece Hall; that has me projecting Allen as nothing more than an average handcuff should the four-time MVP stay in town.
