Braelon Allen at Kansas City: Flex Value as Backfield Dynamic Shifts
Allen has been electric over the past month, punctuated by a 147-yard, one-touchdown outburst in his last outing. However, with Breece Hall returning to the rotation, offensive coordinator Frank Reich confirmed New York plans to utilize a shared tandem, capping Allen's recent bell-cow workload.
Facing Kansas City as heavy 10-point road underdogs with Garrett Wilson sidelined, negative game script could limit rushing volume. Allen’s start rate has plummeted to 39% due to backfield uncertainty. We project him for roughly 11 carries and 48 rushing yards, making him a volatile Flex option.

Omar Cooper at Kansas City — Opportunity Knocks with Garrett Wilson Sidelined
After posting consecutive 100-yard performances, the dynamic rookie came crashing down to earth with zero targets against Las Vegas. However, the offense needs him to rebound quickly with top receiver Garrett Wilson ruled out due to a concussion, elevating Cooper's role as the starting slot receiver. Trailing as heavy road underdogs against the Chiefs, the Jets should be forced into a pass-heavy game script.
While fantasy managers grew hesitant following his recent goose egg, pushing his start rate down to 20%, the upside remains undeniable. Our weekly projection lands him at 10.6 fantasy points on roughly 4 receptions and 52 yards. With Wilson sidelined, Cooper profiles as an intriguing flex play who could easily exceed expectations if he commands vacated targets.
