Week 17 vs. Cincinnati
Javorius Allen bounced back last week after getting benched for fumbling in Week 15. The Ravens beat the Steelers 20-17, largely due to Allen’s 79 yards and a touchdown on the ground, and his 35 yards on five receptions he added in the passing game. When he holds onto the football, Allen is making a case for the job next year, as his versatility fits the Ravens’ offensive scheme.
This week, Allen faces a top ten run defense. The Bengals are tied for sixth in rushing touchdowns allowed this year with only eight, and will be a formidable opponent for the Raven offense. Still, Allen should get a full workload and should continue to benefit as a dump-off option on passing downs. With enough touches, he should be able to put up quality RB2 numbers in most leagues.
