Allen was not targeted in the passing game. His fewest handles since Week 1 came as Breece Hall matched a season high with 23 touches. The backup running spot just isn't a good place to be in an offense that struggles for both volume and points. With the Jets headed on bye for Week 12, you would be forgiven for cutting Allen loose despite his massive contingency value.
Hall ran decisively on the first drive, intermittently being spelled by bruising rookie back, Braelon Allen. Both players looked primed for solid outings before the game script quickly got out of hand when the Cardinals jumped out to a 14-3 lead with five minutes left in the first quarter. Hall played very efficiently on a limited workload, averaging 5.2 yards per carry and 1.15 yards per route run. Hall is an RB1 against the Colts in Week 11.
Allen played well in his rotational role early on, rumbling through contact to get the tough yards. The Jets fell behind 14-3 with five minutes left in the first quarter and the Cardinals expanded the lead to 24-6 before half. Allen touched the ball just two times in the third and fourth quarters. He is a must-stash player for playoff-bound fantasy squads. He is an RB4 against the Colts in Week 11.
Hall was efficient in the contest, but wasn't able to bust the big one with a long gain of 16 yards. The consistent four-plus yard gains certainly help fantasy managers, but unfortunately it's another game without a score for the 23-year-old tailback. Braelon Allen was hardly involved with just four attempts for nine yards, so it's not a question of volume. Hall will hope to find the end zone in Week 10 against the Cardinals.
