Scouting report

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 17, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 16, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Pittsburgh

Javorius Allen fumbled early in the game against the Chiefs last week and was benched as a result. He wound up with only four carries and 18 yards on the day and single-handedly crushed many fantasy football seasons. He remains arguably the Ravens most talented runner however and is unlikely to ride the pine for more than the one game immediate punishment.

Against the Steelers this week, expect the Ravens to get the ball back in the hands of their rookie playmaker. Pittsburgh has been good against the run this season, but always struggles to defense running backs out of the backfield and Allen should rebound from a poor performance as a result. He should be considered a low-end RB2 in most leagues.

Week 15 vs. Kansas City

Javorius Allen struggled running the ball last week against the Seahawks as the Ravens had to abandon the running game in a beatdown. Allen only had 14 yards on eight carries, but salvaged his day a little by catching five passes for 44 yards. He remains a versatile option in the Ravens backfield and arguably their best offensive threat.

This week, he should have a little better time against a Chiefs defense that has been very good against the run, but not quite as stout as Seattle has been. Expect the Ravens to struggle, but to find enough room against Kansas City for Allen to wind up with low end RB2 numbers this week, especially in a PPR.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 14, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Seattle

Javorius Allen had a great game last week against the Dolphins. He only averaged 3.7 yards per carry on the ground, gaining 63 yards on 17 carries, but he was very active in the passing game. Allen caught 12 of the 13 passes thrown his way, including a 41 yard catch and run for a touchdown. He wound up with 107 yards receiving and was one of the most productive fantasy backs for Week 13.

This week, Allen will have a harder time against a much better defense. The Seahawks have allowed the third least amount of rushing yards this year and the fourth least amount of passing yards. Allen should get a full workload again, which should be enough to give him RB2 numbers in most leagues, but fantasy owners should temper their expectations against a superior defense.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 13, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Miami

Javorius Allen had a decent debut as the Ravens starting running back on Monday night against the Browns. He finished with a modest 55 yards on 12 carries, but he added four receptions for 29 yards and a touchdown. Allen showed the type of versatility that makes him a nice fit for offensive coordinator Marc Trestman’s offense.

This week, Allen gets another great matchup against the woeful Miami Dolphins run defense that ranks dead last in the league in rushing yards allowed this season. Allen split carries a bit with Terrance West last week, which hurts his fantasy potential a little, but he should still catch passes and get a large enough workload to make him a solid RB2 option in all leagues.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 12, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Cleveland

Javorius Allen only had 67 yards on the ground last week against the Rams, but had 22 carries in relief of Justin Forsett, who broke his arm early in the game. Plus, Allen added 48 yards on five receptions, turning in a pretty decent day overall. Allen is set to take over the starting role in Baltimore with Forsett out for the season.

Allen is poised to start his tenure as the Ravens starting back in a positive way. He has a matchup against the league’s worst run defense. The Browns have allowed more yards per game on the ground than any other team in the league, and they’ve given up nine rushing touchdowns as well. Allen is a risky option because the Ravens offense is going to struggle the rest of the year, but he could have RB2 value as a sleeper option with a full workload.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 11, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. St. Louis
Javorius Allen had five carries and a reception for a total of 23 yards last week in a loss to the Jaguars. He continues to serve a backup role to starter Justin Forsett, and until that changes, there’s no reason to expect his fantasy value to get any higher. He remains a handcuff for Forsett owners only, and he should not be active this week against the Rams.
