RecapBraelon Allen rushed 21 times for 147 yards and a touchdown in the Jets’ Week 8 loss to the Raiders.
Allen added two receptions for six yards. With Breece Hall a surprising weekend ruleout with an aggravation of his long-running quad injury, Allen got another start and once again made the most of it. Allen’s career-high 147 yards on the ground included a 24-yard rush and 21-yard touchdown where he got the edge and was then not touched en route to the house. In between, he got shaken up on a big hit but appeared no worse for the wear. Although Hall is supposedly in play for Week 9, he was never even supposed to be in doubt for Week 8. For now we will consider Hall on the wrong side of questionable to face the Chiefs’ strong defense on the road. Even if Hall goes, Allen will maintain FLEX appeal. If Hall sits, Allen will be a must-start RB2.
