News: 5 days agoAllen (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Spin: Allen shed the injury tag for Week 3 despite being a limited participant in all three practice sessions. He's seen little action offensively through two regular-season games as a depth backfield option behind Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez and Ameer Abdullah.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: A 2025 seventh-round pick, Allen is set to compete with fellow second-year back Bhayshul Tuten and newcomer Chris Rodriguez Jr. for work in the Jacksonville backfield. As a rookie, Allen played 22% of the Jaguars' offensive snaps (82% of which were pass plays), but was limited to just 33 touches and failed to find the end zone or reach 4.0 fantasy points in a single game. It's likely that Tuten will operate as the Jaguars' primary back, with Rodriguez busy on early downs and short-yardage situations, and Allen used as a passing-down specialist, same as in 2025. That said, none of the three are established as lead backs, so there's an opportunity for Allen to force his way into a larger role. The 22-year-old is worth no more than a late-round flier.
