Allen first broke through with a seven-carry, 33-rushing-yard, four-reception, 23-receiving-yard, two-touchdown performance in the New York Jets’ Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. His 20-yard rushing touchdown late in the fourth quarter proved the difference in the 24-17 win.

The New York Jets may have found a steal in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft when they selected former Wisconsin running back Braelon Allen with the No. 134 overall pick. Despite being one of the youngest players in the entire class and possessing excellent size at 6-foot-1, 235 pounds, there were nine running backs selected over him.

When RB Braelon Allen and the New York Jets take on the New England Patriots in Week 3 on Thursday at 8:15 PM ET, they will be facing off against the Patriots' second-ranked run D, which is surrendering 58 rushing yards per game.

Former Wisconsin Badgers and current New York Jets running back Braelon Allen continued his strong start to his NFL career on Thursday night.

While quarterback Aaron Rodgers was the center of attention in the New York Jets‘ convincing victory over the New England Patriots Thursday, there is a potential situation brewing with the Jets’ running backs that could turn out to be even more important for fantasy managers.
