Braelon Allen Week 14 Outlook - Jets at Dolphins

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Dec 6th 2024, 10:05pm EST

Allen is expected to draw the start at running back this week, with Breece Hall listed as doubtful. Allen has only a 67-carry sample to work with this season, so take the efficiency numbers with a small grain of salt. Allen hasn't been impressive on a per-touch basis with this small sample, though. He has only a 1.5% explosive run rate, a 13% missed tackle rate, and 2.55 yards after contact per attempt. It's unknown how much Isaiah Davis will be involved this week, which adds some uncertainty to Allen's projection, but I still expect him to lead the backfield in touches and flirt with 15-20 opportunities this week. Since Week 8, the Dolphins' run defense has fallen off considerably, allowing the tenth-highest explosive run rate, the third-highest missed tackle rate, and the fourth-highest yards after contact per attempt.
