Javorius Allen (RB, BAL) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 3% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens running back Javorius Allen is a last resort dart throw in deeper leagues. We are not thrilled about putting him on this list. We have  never been interested in players who have been given multiple opportunities at fantasy relevance only to fail over and over. 14 fantasy points isn't even particularly spectacular but it's the six receptions that are intriguing. The Ravens aren't exactly a potent passing team so Allen would have to do his damage in volume as opposed to playmaking.

If I sound overly cautious about Allen it's because I am. If you're prioritizing these six names, Allen is firmly sixth. There's a very real chance his production had everything to do with the Buffalo Bills putting up a somber performance. Not only that, but I firmly believe Alex Collins is a solid three-down back who could put a stronghold on the depth chart. Be wary about adding the man they call Buck.
