Javorius Allen (RB, BAL) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 26% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: During a week in which there will not be an unconditional must-add target at the running back position, Allen presents owners with an unexciting but logical addition as the result of his continuing role within the Raven offense. Through Baltimore’s first three games, Allen has accumulated 29 touches, which includes a 55%/45% mixture of carries (16), and receptions (13). He has also generated four touchdowns, with one score as a rusher in each of Baltimore's first three games.

In addition to coveted red zone carries, Allen is collecting a desirable number of targets (17) and receptions (13). While it has been difficult for many owners to become inspired by the prospect of securing Allen, there is greater certainty that he will maintain a more sustainable role in his team’s attack than most other waiver wire options. He is not a candidate to commandeer a massive workload, but will accomplish enough with his opportunities to function as a reliable point producer.
