BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Denver Broncos

Javorius Allen scored his second touchdown in as many weeks against the Bengals last week on a surprising short-yardage carry. Allen is typically used on passing downs—as evidenced by his seven targets last week—making it surprising to see him getting goal-line work over the physical Alex Collins. Allen only gained eight yards on six carries, so it doesn’t seem like he’s going to take the lead back job away from Collins anytime soon. However, he’ll continue to get change-of-pace work.

Against the Broncos this week, he’s still too risky from a workload perspective to bank on. The touchdowns won’t continue at this pace, so his value is limited to being a low-end flex option in deep PPR leagues.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Cincinnati Bengals

Javorius Allen had a nice complementary game last week against the Bills. He had nine touches, including five receptions, for a total of 32 yards and a touchdown. Nine touches sounds about right for fantasy owners to expect from Allen in most weeks. His activity in the passing game makes him an interesting deep option in PPR formats. However, until we see a consistent workload from him, it’ll be hard to count on a touchdown each week in most leagues.

The Bengals held the Colts to limited rushing production last week and they should be able to put up more of a fight against the Ravens than the Bills did in Week 1, making it unlikely Allen puts up enough numbers to justify having him in your lineup.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Buffalo Bills

Javorius Allen should fill a complementary role behind Alex Collins this season and could be in line to put up modest PPR points. He’s caught at least 45 balls in two of the last three seasons and should continue to get work on third downs.

This week, Allen faces a Bills defense that gave up 86 receptions to the running back position last season, but his lack of consistent usage makes him too risky to count on in anything other than super-deep PPR league formats. Allen is a low-priority waiver add at this point.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

After falling out of favor with the coaching staff in 2016, Javorius Allen caught 46 passes and finished with a total of 841 yards from scrimmage last season as a complementary back to Alex Collins. He also scored six touchdowns. Allen has soft hands and has demonstrated his ability to catch the ball effectively throughout his short career. He caught 45 passes as a rookie in 2015, and he should be in line for more work on passing downs this year.

Fantasy Downside

Allen hasn’t thrived when given the opportunity to increase his workload, making it unlikely he surpasses his numbers from last year and giving him limited upside. Alex Collins and Kenneth Dixon seem to be the primary ball-carriers heading into the season, even though Allen should remain in the mix for change-of-pace work.

2018 Bottom Line

Allen has some value as a spot-starter or bye-week filler, particularly in PPR formats that take advantage of his work in the passing game. Fantasy owners should consider him more of a low-end bench option in these formats, rather than a legitimate handcuff. If something happens to Collins, Dixon is likely to see an uptick in value, with Allen maintaining a similar workload.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Javorius Allen had 9 touches last week against the Colts, including 1 reception for a total of 47 yards. While Allen continues to get change-of-pace work, his snaps and touches are limited by the presence of Danny Woodhead, and the two talented pass-catchers tend to cancel each other out in most weeks. Allen has a nice matchup this week against the Bengals, who have allowed 91 receptions to the running back position this year, but his workload makes it hard to trust him in most fantasy leagues.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Javorius Allen only saw the field for 33% of the offensive snaps last week against the Browns, but he managed 70 yards on 13 carries as starter Alex Collins struggled. Allen was also targeted 3 times in the passing game, but only caught 1 pass for 4 receiving yards. Allen has some upside against a vulnerable Colts team. If the Ravens get up early, they might lean on Allen to run out the clock. However, with Collins getting the primary carries and Danny Woodhead in the mix on passing downs, fantasy owners should probably stay away from the risks associated with starting Allen.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Cleveland Browns

Javorius Allen had a pair of touchdowns against the Steelers last week to go with 57 yards from scrimmage, but he only touched the ball 8 times and saw only 20% of the team’s offensive snaps. While it was nice to see Allen get some short-yardage work, his lack of opportunity makes it hard to count on him in most fantasy leagues. Fantasy owners should likely leave him on waivers for as long as Danny Woodhead is healthy.
