Braelon Allen carried the ball 21 times for 147 yards and one touchdown and added two catches for six yards on two targets in the Jets' 38-33 loss to the Raiders in Week 8. He finished with 22.3 half-PPR points.

The performance more than doubled his output over his previous seven games, 9.8 half-PPR points a game, and came with substantially more work than usual. Allen should keep the starting job for the foreseeable future, making him a viable RB2 option despite his modest efficiency numbers.

Allen's 22.3 half-PPR points dwarfed his 9.8 a game over his previous seven games, built on 21 carries and two targets.

Allen has a Roundup Score of 73 out of 99, 22nd of 111 running backs, with subscores of 64 for rushing and 77 for role security (14th of 111). His expected points model shows him scoring about what his usage predicts, 0.4 half-PPR points a game above expected over his last three. He faces Kansas City in Week 9, who allow 23.4 half-PPR points a game to running backs, the fifth most of 32. Start him as a mid-range RB2.

What to do

• Start Braelon Allen as an RB2 in Week 9 against Kansas City.

• Allen's workload makes him viable in all formats with Breece Hall still questionable.

• His role security score of 77 (14th of 111 running backs) suggests the volume should hold up.
