Outlook Braelon Allen
Braelon Allen at Tennessee — Limited Rotational Role in a Defensive Road Opener
Allen enters the regular-season opener locked in as the secondary option behind lead back Breece Hall. With depth running backs Kene Nwangwu ruled out and Chip Trayanum on injured reserve, Allen's standing as the direct backup is rock-solid. Even so, the Jets' run game revolves entirely around Hall, leaving Allen to operate as a complementary power back on brief rotational drives.
Our weekly projection slots Allen for roughly 5 carries and 21 rushing yards, amounting to 4.4 fantasy points against the Titans. In an away matchup projected to be a defensive grind with a low 38.5 over/under, Allen's standalone utility is strictly touchdown-dependent. Currently started in barely 1% of fantasy leagues, he should be kept on benches as a high-value insurance policy.

Outlook Ryan Flournoy
Ryan Flournoy at Giants: Fresh Deal Solidifies Slot Duties in Opener
Fresh off signing a one-year contract extension, Flournoy enters the season with a solidified grip on the slot receiver role in Dallas' offense. Coming off a 40-catch, four-touchdown campaign last year, he will work primarily inside behind perimeter starters CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens as Dak Prescott's third wideout.
Our weekly projection sits at roughly 6.7 fantasy points on 2 to 3 receptions for 29 yards against New York. While the matchup environment looks favorable, Flournoy is rostered in just 7% of leagues and started in virtually none, making him a bench stash or deep-league flier until his weekly target volume is proven.
