Braelon Allen is officially your Week 7 “Start of the Week,” and trust me, you’re gonna want him in your lineup. With Breece Hall sidelined by a quadriceps injury , he didn’t even practice Wednesday and looks out for at least one more game against Miami , Allen is about to take center stage for the Jets.
Allen Stepping Up Big When It Matters
This isn’t about an injury simply opening a door, folks. Allen’s been quietly *balling out* these past couple of weeks. He’s racked up at least 12.4 PPR points in each of his last two games, tearing it up against Cleveland and New England. We’re talking 41 carries for 194 yards and a touchdown, plus three catches for 26 yards on six targets. The dude is producing, plain and simple. At just 22 years old and in his third year, Allen is showing he’s ready for this kind of workload, and his 9.5 fantasy points per game year-to-date are about to get a serious boost.
Miami’s Defense Is a Fantasy Goldmine for RBs
Now, let’s talk about the real reason Allen is about to go nuclear: the Miami Dolphins defense. These guys are an absolute *sieve* against opposing running backs. They rank No. 3 in the league for *most* Fantasy points allowed to RBs. Think about that for a second! It gets even wilder: a running back has scored at least 15.8 PPR points in *every single game* this season against Miami. We’re talking about guys like Ashton Jeanty, Christian McCaffrey, Aaron Jones, and Saquon Barkley all getting theirs. Allen is stepping into a dream scenario, big time.
This is a pivotal moment for many of us in Fantasy leagues, hitting that halfway point of the season. With four teams on bye this week , Buffalo, Jacksonville, the Chargers, and Washington , finding reliable starters is crucial. Every win counts right now as we push for those playoff spots. And speaking of high scores, keep an eye on a few matchups this week with projected totals over 45.5 points. Our very own Seattle Seahawks’ game against the Chiefs is on that list, so there’s potential for some fireworks there too!
So, what’s the move? It’s simple, Seattle: Get Braelon Allen into your lineup for Week 7. He’s projected for 12.6 points, ranked 11th among RBs, but with that matchup against Miami, the ceiling is sky-high. This isn’t just a bye-week fill-in. This is a chance for Allen to prove he’s a legit workhorse, and a chance for you to secure a crucial Week 7 win. Don’t overthink this one, folks. Lock him in and let’s go!
