The New York Jets (0-3) will visit the Miami Dolphins (0-3) in Week 4. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding RB Braelon Allen.

Should You Start or Sit Braelon Allen in Week 4?
Braelon Allen has yet to get more than six carries in a game this season, and we know the passing infrastructure isn’t exactly strong in New York these days, no matter who is under center.
Not helping that cause last week was a failed fourth-down carry, the rare opportunity for Allen to impact the game in a significant way.
I haven’t been impressed in the slightest with Breece Hall after the impressive opener, but Allen hasn’t been given a real chance to show his worth, and that tells me that the Jets don’t think he can really push Hall for the lead role.
Allen is a handcuff to a backfield that isn’t all that valuable to begin with. There’s a real chance he becomes a fantasy cut candidate by midseason.
