Should You Start or Sit Braelon Allen in Week 7?
Allen was on the field for just 18.6% of New York’s offensive snaps last week against the Bills, his first time under 25% since his NFL debut. With Robert Saleh fired, the offense ran through Breece Hall, and I’m projecting that to be the case moving forward.
Allen is still a viable handcuff, but with the addition of Davante Adams to an offense that was already low in play count, Allen’s path to stand-alone value has all but disappeared. He’s a good player and might be a decent buy in dynasty formats after a few slow weeks, but in re-draft, his window to be an asset is closing in a hurry.
