        Will Braelon Allen Lead The Jets In Rushing?

        By Jared Smola | Updated on Mon, Sep 1 2025 12:39 AM UTC

        The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt's "bold prediction" for the Jets' 2025 season is that RB Braelon Allen leads the team in rushing. "There’s an assumption that Breece Hall is the Jets’ top running back but when the games start and Aaron Glenn and Tanner Engstrand start divvying up the carries, I truly think at some point (perhaps early) Allen will become the predominant ball carrier in the running back room," Rosenblatt writes.

        What They're Saying

        More from Rosenblatt on the Jets backfield: "That’s not to say Hall’s role will diminish — he might be the Jets’ No. 2 option in the passing game at the moment — but Allen throughout the summer has looked like the better, stronger, more explosive runner."

        This take isn't all that bold if you've been following the Jets beat this summer. There's been a steady drumbeat for Allen, who seems primed to take a step forward after an underwhelming rookie season.

        We're still not ready to project Allen as the team's leading rusher. And, as Rosenblatt said, Hall will play a big role in the passing game.

        But, at this point, it's clear that Allen will have a significant role in this offense -- and be a drain on Hall's fantasy production.
