Cedric Tillman, Braelon Allen, and Bo Nix headline the biggest fantasy football targets on the Week 9 waiver wire.
Consistently ripping nice gains, Hall was a player crying out for a bigger workload in what turned out to be an upset stunner. On the negative side of the ledger, Hall committed an early third down drop and got vultured for a two-yard fourth quarter score by Braelon Allen. This, after Hall gained a yard on the previous play. Hall did out-touch Allen 17-12. Both backs could be needed for bigger workloads vs. the Texans' strong pass defense for Thursday's short-week affair. Hall remains locked into RB1 status.
Allen's two-yard fourth quarter score came after Breece Hall gained a yard the previous play. The 12 carries were a new season high out of nowhere after Allen had been limited to just six total touches over his previous two games. It's unclear why exactly, as Hall was far more efficient and seemed to be getting the ball too little in New England. Allen is not threatening Hall's RB1 status, but both backs could be in for big short-week workloads against the Texans' imposing pass defense on Thursday.
Jets RB Braelon Allen carried 12 times for 32 yards and the team's lone rushing TD in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.
Allen failed to coral either of his two targets, more importantly watching on the sideline for greater stretches while Breece Hall was thrust back into a featured role after the offensive coordinator change this week. It appears as if any fantasy value has dried up for as long as Hall remains healthy.
