Jets' Braelon Allen: Targeted four times
Allen rushed the ball eight times for 27 yards in Saturday's 15-12 preseason win over the Panthers. He added two catches (on four targets) for 12 yards.
Allen has drawn praise throughout training camp for his physical running style, and the team has also talked up his potential as a pass catcher. He didn't show much ability as a receiver during his collegiate career at Wisconsin, but he was heavily involved in that role Saturday with mixed results. Allen has seemingly all but locked in the second spot on the running back depth chart behind Breece Hall, though Isaiah Davis did get the first rushing attempt in Saturday's contest.

Jets' Braelon Allen: Runs well in preseason debut
Allen rushed six times for 54 yards and wasn't targeted in Saturday's 20-17 preseason win over Washington.
Allen is the favorite to operate as Breece Hall's top backup in the regular season, and the rookie fourth-round pick got the start Saturday with Hall getting the day off. After a quiet first quarter, Allen came alive in the second quarter with bursts of 16 and 24 yards on the ground. The 6-foot-1, 235-pound running back out of Wisconsin will look to build on this encouraging debut when the Jets continue preseason play next Saturday against the Panthers.
