Anyone starting him this week? What are your expectations for him while Woodhead is out?

I'm taking a wait and see approach.... I think he could be Woodhead 2.0 in this offense but it's still the Ravens and I want to see a little more before I put him into one of my two flexes.

I like his upside, he might run away with the job.
Depending on your other options he's probably a flex/RB2 this week in PPR

I have T Williams Vs MIA and Cohen @ TB in my two flexes... Allen over either of those guys?

Their front 7 isn't bad, and they gave L Bell trouble last week.

I'm rolling with him at RB2 over J. Stewart after losing DJ and Woodhead.

Cleveland last year was really good against RB receptions and receiving yards, but people ran all over them.

They did also just bottle up Bell but that was almost like a preseason game for him.

It kind of looks like a West game, but Allen will get opportunities.

I wouldn't. T Williams should have a good game and J Howard is still on the injury report

He's an ok flex play for right now. I'd stash him for this week to see if the trend continues. They were in a perfect game script for him last week and no way they run the ball 40+ times again. He could end up as a solid play, but I wouldn't risk it just yet (unless you're desperate)
