BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 10, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Jacksonville
Javorius Allen has shown flashes this season in a limited role, and had three catches for 30 yards against the Chargers before the bye last week. He remains a handcuff to starter Justin Forsett, however, and will remain in that capacity until he gets a consistent number of carries or Forsett suffers an injury. He shouldn’t be in anyone’s active lineup this week.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. San Diego
Javorius Allen only saw the field on 14 percent of the Ravens offensive snaps on Monday night in a loss to the Cardinals. He ended up with just three carries and one reception for a total of 35 yards. He hasn’t looked bad when he’s had the opportunity to run the ball, but with Forsett healthy and looking more like his 2014 version, it’s unlikely Allen will be more than a handcuff in the near future. Keep him on the bench this week despite an excellent matchup.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Arizona
Javorius Allen was picked up in a lot of leagues last week in case starter Justin Forsett was inactive, but Forsett ended up starting and Allen was relegated to his usual change of pace role. He ended up with 21 total yards on four carries and a reception. Expect similar production from the rookie while Forsett is healthy, but he has value as a handcuff. In the event of a Forsett injury, Allen would likely step into a full workload. For now, keep him on the bench.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at San Francisco

Javorius Allen had eight carries for 58 yards last week against the Browns, and with Lorenzo Taliaferro now on IR and set to miss the remainder of the season, Allen could get more work as the change-of-pace back in Baltimore.

Allen will still be behind Justin Forsett, however, and even in a nice matchup against the 49ers, it’s hard to trust starting him. He’s a nice handcuff however, and not a bad stash option in large leagues and dynasty formats. Forsett just turned 30, and he’s nursing a minor injury right now, so Allen should be added if possible in case he gets his chance. Should Forsett miss the game on Sunday, Allen becomes an intriguing RB2 option.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Oakland

Javorius Allen had nine carries and a reception last week against the Broncos, but wound up with just 34 total yards from scrimmage as the Ravens offense struggled heavily in what ended up as an ugly loss.

This week, Allen will face Oakland, but may have to contend with Lorenzo Taliaferro for touches behind starter Justin Forsett. Fantasy owners should leave Allen on the bench until he assumes a more prominent role, but deep leaguers and Forsett owners should monitor the snaps and carries given to the two backup backs in Baltimore, in case one outplays the other.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Denver

Javorius Allen, nicknamed “Buck,” is a versatile rookie who may get a chance to show what he can do in Baltimore’s new offense this week. Backup Lorenzo Taliaferro is hampered by an MCL sprain and may not be active for the Ravens first game against the Broncos.

Allen isn’t much of a fantasy option as long as he’s behind starter Justin Forsett, who will get the bulk of the touches in the Ravens offense, but he does have a chance to win the backup job in a limited role. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on Allen for the next couple of weeks as he tries to prove he’s the better handcuff for Forsett owners.

BAL RB Javorius Allen - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Javorius Allen, nicknamed “Buck,” is a versatile back coming off a very productive final year at USC. He ran for nearly 1,500 yards and 11 touchdowns last season, and the Ravens were happy to see him available in the 4th round of the draft. Allen begins the season low on the depth chart, but he has an intriguing skill set in new offensive coordinator Marc Trestman’s offense.

Fantasy Upside
Allen is probably already at least as good a receiver as any other back on the Ravens roster. He caught 63 balls the last two seasons at USC, and he’s proven the ability to contribute on every down at the college level. Allen is a talented runner, and if given the opportunity, he could thrive in Trestman’s system, which allows backs to get the ball in space as well as take advantage of play action opportunities.

Fantasy Downside
Justin Forsett isn’t likely to relinquish his job as the lead back in Baltimore after finally breaking out last season, and second year player Lorenzo Taliaferro showed promise last year in the backup role. This means Allen may not see the field as a rookie, making him a very risky option for fantasy owners.

Bottom Line
Allen is an intriguing option because he arguably fits Trestman’s scheme better than Forsett, a slasher, or Taliaferro who is a banger. Allen may not play much this year, making him very risky for owners to grab, but if injuries befall the Baltimore backfield, an owner who stashed this rookie might get a pretty amazing surprise. He has value as a stash option in leagues with enough roster spots and dynasty leagues.

Update:
Allen should get his opportunity to shine for the rest of the preseason with Taliaferro sidelined with a minor injury that may keep him out of the first week or so of the season. This is Allen's chance to win the backup job to Forsett and fantasy owners should keep an eye on the young kid.
