New York Jets rookie running back Braelon Allen has emerged as a significant contributor in 2024, surpassing expectations in a backfield initially led by Breece Hall. Finishing his first season with 334 rushing yards and two touchdowns alongside 148 receiving yards and another score, Allen is poised for an impressive second season. With the arrival of offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, who has a successful track record managing dual running back systems, expectations are high for Allen's continued growth.

Analysts from Pro Football Focus have identified Allen as one of five sophomore players likely to have breakout seasons in fantasy football, indicating confidence in his ability to excel in a more prominent role moving forward.
