Scouting report

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Green Bay Packers

Javorius Allen only gained 21 yards on 7 carries against the Titans before the bye last week, but he added 44 yards and a touchdown on 7 receptions. Allen will surely be looking over his shoulder as Danny Woodhead is gearing up for his return to action, but for now, he looks to remain the primary pass-catcher out of the Ravens backfield.

Allen runs hot and cold and has risk associated with him, but he has some upside against the Packers this week, who have allowed 9 touchdowns to opposing running backs this year, as well as 44 receptions. Allen should be considered a low-end RB2 option, especially in PPR leagues.

Update: With Woodhead active, Allen is a much riskier option, as Woodhead is likely to cut into Allen's role in the passing game.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Tennessee Titans

Javorius Allen only had 57 combined yards last week in a blowout victory over the Dolphins, but he had 17 carries and a reception in the game. If he continues to get that kind of workload, he’ll remain a fringe RB2 option week-to-week.

Allen faces a Titans defense that has only allowed 4 touchdowns to opposing running backs this season, but ranks 26th in total points allowed. Allen has RB2 upside, and should have added value in PPR formats, as he continues to be the primary pass-catching back.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Miami Dolphins

Javorius Allen had only 6 carries for 20 yards against the Vikings last week, but he added 8 receptions for an 29 additional yards, and he was targeted a team-high 11 times on the day. Those aren’t huge numbers by any means, but Allen’s activity in the passing game has made him a legitimate low-end RB2 option in PPR formats. He leads the Ravens in targets and receptions.

This week, he faces a surprisingly effective Dolphins run defense ranked fifth in the league in rushing yards allowed per game. Expect him to continue to struggle to pile up numbers on the ground, but to get plenty of work in the passing game and to be right in the 10-15 point range again based on catches.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Minnesota Vikings

Javorius Allen has been fairly inconsistent this year, but he’s continuing to get a fair amount of work. He had 10 carries last week against the Bears, and he added 3 catches for a total of 66 yards from scrimmage. Allen gets most of the work on third downs and he should maintain that role.

This week, Allen faces a Vikings defense that has only allowed 1 rushing touchdown all year, so he has limited upside. In PPR formats, Allen might sniff RB2 numbers, but fantasy owners with better matchups might want to look elsewhere this week.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Chicago Bears

Javorius Allen had a nice game against the Raiders last week, rushing for 73 yards and catching 4 passes for another 12. He also scored a touchdown and was given 21 carries—a good sign for fantasy owners hoping for a consistent workload in the Baltimore backfield.

Allen will continue to split time with Alex Collins, which makes him risky. However, if Allen gets another 20+ touches versus the Bears this week he should be worth RB2 numbers. He gets a little boost in PPR formats as he’s averaging 5 catches per game over the past four weeks.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Oakland Raiders

Javorius Allen only had 44 yards against the Steelers last week, but he touched the ball 8 times, including 6 receptions. Even if Alex Collins takes over the primary starting role in the backfield, Allen should continue to have value in PPR formats as a third-down option.

This week, Allen has low-end RB2 upside in PPR formats against a Raiders team that has only given up one rushing touchdown this season but is allowing 347.8 yards per game, including 120 on the ground.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Javorius Allen only had 28 yards last week in a terrible game against the Jaguars, but he did carry the ball 8 times and caught 5-of-6 passes thrown his way. In most games, 13 touches will yield more fantasy numbers. Allen remains the most versatile player on the Ravens roster.

This week, Allen faces a Pittsburgh defense that was completely run over by the Bears last week and allowed a combined 12 catches and 73 yards receiving to the running back position. The Ravens should get back on track after a terrible game in London last week, and Allen should be a borderline RB2 option, especially in PPR formats.
