2026 Fantasy Football Impact: One Game Nearly Matched His Season
This was by far Allen’s best game of the year. He entered the week with just 33 carries for 120 yards (3.6 per carry) and a TD, so he nearly matched his season rushing total in one afternoon. His 22-yard TD run was also more than double his previous long of 10. With Breece Hall out, Allen dominated the backfield, while Isaiah Davis played only 10 snaps. Hall had averaged 3.2 yards per carry across his three games, so Allen’s efficiency stood out. Cleveland entered allowing the 7th-fewest PPR points to RBs (16.4 per game), though it ranked 27th in our run defense power rankings. The one knock is receiving: he has 6 catches for 19 yards on the season.
The Jets visit the Patriots in Week 6, then host the Dolphins and Raiders. New England ranks 14th in PPR points allowed to RBs (21.8 per game) and 30th in our run defense power rankings, which makes it a favorable spot. Miami allows the 4th-most RB points (27 points), though it ranks 12th in our run defense power rankings. Las Vegas ranks 16th (21.7) and 21st in our run defense power rankings. If Hall stays out for additional time, Allen is a strong RB2 with RB1 upside in this stretch.
