Braelon Allen’s Current Stats and Week 9 Outlook

Braelon Allen, the running back for the New York Jets, has seen limited but notable action this season. As of Week 8, Allen has carried the ball 49 times for 187 yards, averaging 23.4 yards per game, and has scored two rushing touchdowns. He has also contributed in the passing game with nine receptions for 74 yards, averaging 9.3 yards per game, and one receiving touchdown.

In terms of his performance per game, Allen’s touchdown rate is at 25% for rushing touchdowns and 12.5% for receiving touchdowns. This compares to the league averages of 41.9% for rushing touchdowns and 22.6% for receiving touchdowns. Against the Houston Texans, the league average for rushing touchdowns is 30.0%, and for receiving touchdowns, it is 44.8%.

For the upcoming Week 9 game against the Houston Texans, Allen’s prop bets include a rushing yards over/under of 21.5 yards, with odds of -110 for going over. He has exceeded this mark in four out of eight games this season. His average rushing yards prop for the season is 28.0 yards, though he has fallen short of this average by an average of 4.6 yards per game.

Allen’s snap count has been relatively low, reflecting his secondary role in the Jets’ offense. He has averaged around 18-36% of the team’s total snaps per game, with a total of 110 snaps across the first six weeks of the season.

Despite his limited role, Allen remains a valuable handcuff to Breece Hall and could see increased action if Hall is injured. However, for the immediate future, his projections suggest minimal involvement, with an expected 7 attempts for 25 yards and 2 targets for 1 reception against the Texans.
