LeQuintAllen Jr.

News: 12 hours agoAllen played one offensive snap and didn't show up in the box score otherwise during Sunday's 34-10 win over the Browns.

Spin: The 2025 seventh-rounder was cleared to play Week 1 after being limited by a hip injury, but he was an afterthought in the Jaguars' backfield behind Bhayshul Tuten (28 snaps), Chris Rodriguez (23) and Ameer Abdullah (five). Perhaps the hip was still an issue for Allen, but he's unlikely to see much playing time on offense unless Tuten or Rodriguez were to miss time.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: A 2025 seventh-round pick, Allen is set to compete with fellow second-year back Bhayshul Tuten and newcomer Chris Rodriguez Jr. for work in the Jacksonville backfield. As a rookie, Allen played 22% of the Jaguars' offensive snaps (82% of which were pass plays), but was limited to just 33 touches and failed to find the end zone or reach 4.0 fantasy points in a single game. It's likely that Tuten will operate as the Jaguars' primary back, with Rodriguez busy on early downs and short-yardage situations, and Allen used as a passing-down specialist, same as in 2025. That said, none of the three are established as lead backs, so there's an opportunity for Allen to force his way into a larger role. The 22-year-old is worth no more than a late-round flier.
