LeQuint Allen Jr. Fantasy Stats

Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. handled only 33 touches as a seventh-round rookie in 2025, but he found the field with regularity for what he offered as a pass protector. Among qualified halfbacks, only Denver's Tyler Badie had a better pass blocking grade according to PFF, and it was actually Allen, and not the more highly touted Bhayshul Tuten, who saw the team's second-most total running back snaps behind the recently departed Travis Etienne Jr. Jacksonville signed Chris Rodriguez Jr. to a two-year, $10 million deal, but he profiles more as a between the tackles plodder whose four targets and three receptions in 2025 both marked career highs. While Rodriguez will have an obvious role on early downs and near the goal line, Etienne's 47 vacated targets will likely be divvied up between Allen and Tuten, and with the former coming into the league with one of the best receiving profiles in a loaded 2025 rookie running back class, it would stand to reason that he can turn the trust he's already earned from his coaches into an expanded role in the passing game. Where things could get interesting is in this week's NFL Draft, where the Jaguars hold 11 picks and could still consider running back a top need. While the position does not profile as a strength of this draft class, Allen's positioning in the room is already tenuous as a late-round pick himself, and any selection at the position could block his path to even the minor breakout some are calling for.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. is trending up ahead of the 2026 season. Allen remains No. 3 on the depth chart after the Jaguars watched Travis Etienne Jr. depart in free agency, but replaced him with Chris Rodriguez Jr. There's a clear path to meaningful playing time for Allen, who may get on the field even more as Jacksonville's passing-down specialist. Allen was spectacular in pass protection last year, blocking some of the league's most talented pass rushers when he got on the field. He only touched the ball 33 times as a rookie, but he still got on the field for at least 25% of the snaps in more than one-third of the Jaguars' games. It's too early to project his workload for 2026, but we do expect his snap count to increase by a noticeable amount. Depending on just how involved Allen gets, he could even sneak onto the fantasy radar as a low-end RB3/flex in deeper PPR leagues.

A seventh-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. did well to carve out any sort of role in his team's offense as a rookie. While Allen Jr. logged only 33 touches across 17 games, he played double-digit offensive snaps in 15 contests and seemingly earned the trust of his coaching staff in a third-down role. Former Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. recently signed with the New Orleans Saints in free agency, leaving a significant number of backfield touches in Jacksonville up for grabs heading into 2026. The Jaguars have a promising young back in Bhayshul Tuten and also signed former Washington Commanders rusher Chris Rodriguez Jr., both of whom could block off Allen Jr.'s path to early-down work. However, neither Tuten nor Rodriguez Jr. profiles as much of a receiver out of the backfield. Allen Jr. could emerge as Jacksonville's primary receiving back and may be worth rostering in deep dynasty formats heading into 2026.

A seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. established himself as his team's RB3 as a rookie. Allen Jr. played a minimal role on offense, recording 148 scrimmage yards on 33 touches across 17 games played. The 21-year-old's path to playing time was blocked by the Jaguars' strong running back tandem of Travis Etienne Jr. and Bhayshul Tuten. However, Etienne Jr. is set to hit free agency this spring and may not be back in Jacksonville in 2026. Tuten flashed high-end upside in 2025 and would likely take over the Jaguars' RB1 role should Etienne Jr. sign elsewhere in free agency. Still, Allen Jr. could be in line for a significant playing time increase and might establish himself as Jacksonville's primary third-down and receiving back in his second NFL season. In dynasty formats, Allen Jr. might be worth stashing until the backfield picture in Jacksonville becomes clearer.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back LeQuint Allen Jr. hasn't played a significant role this season behind Travis Etienne Jr. and fellow rookie Bhayshul Tuten, but he is likely to see an uptick in snaps with Tuten set to miss a few weeks with a finger injury that will require surgery. Allen handled five touches for 16 yards in the Week 15 blowout win over the New York Jets, his most since Week 11. The rookie seventh-rounder will step into the RB2 role behind Etienne and becomes an interesting deep-league option heading into the Week 16 game against the Denver Broncos on the road. His appeal is limited to deep leagues only, but he could have some standalone value with more touches likely coming his way.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back LeQuint Allen Jr. saw a season-high eight carries during last week's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie back normally doesn't see much of the field, but got a chance last week. He made the most of it as he rushed for 36 yards on his eight attempts, which is 4.5 yards per carry. It was a decent showing from the rookie back who will now return to his role as the third string back. Both Travis Etienne Jr. and Bhayshul Tuten have been cleared to play ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Unless an injury happens, Allen is going to have a minimal role as the third string back.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back LeQuint Allen Jr. enters Week 2 as the team's RB3 on the updated depth chart. In the season-opening win over the Carolina Panthers, Allen logged one carry for seven yards and added one reception for four yards, while Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby dominated the backfield with 83% of the snaps and 21 of the team's 25 rushing attempts. With Bigsby now traded to Philadelphia, the door is open for Allen and fellow rookie Bhayshul Tuten to carve out roles behind Etienne. While Tuten came in with more hype as a prospect, Allen's receiving skills could earn him passing-down work. He'll draw a favorable matchup in Week 2 against the Bengals, who just allowed Browns running back Dylan Sampson to lead his team in receptions. Allen remains unstartable in fantasy for now, but his skill set makes him a name worth monitoring as the Jaguars' backfield evolves.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back LeQuint Allen Jr. is in line for more playing time following the trade of veteran Tank Bigsby. In Week 1, Allen saw nine offensive snaps, recording one carry for seven yards and adding a four-yard reception in the Jaguars' 26-10 win over Carolina. By comparison, fellow rookie Bhayshul Tuten logged just four snaps. Allen's pass-catching ability may give him the edge as the primary backup to Travis Etienne Jr., especially with the Jaguars heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati's defense allowed the third-most receptions to running backs in Week 1, which could open the door for Allen to carve out a role as a receiving complement. While he's not a viable start in Week 2, Allen is a name to monitor closely. If his role continues to grow, his receiving usage could make him fantasy-relevant in deeper leagues sooner rather than later.

With the Jacksonville Jaguars trading Tank Bigsby to the Eagles on Monday, their running depth chart gained a little breathing room. The team now lists Travis Etienne Jr., Bhayshul Tuten, and LeQuint Allen Jr. on the active roster, and if Sunday's matchup against the Panthers is any indication, Allen could find himself involved in the passing game. Seven of Allen's nine snaps on Sunday came on passing plays, earning one target, which he caught for four yards. Bhayshul Tuten saw the field only four times, but not once when Trevor Lawrence dropped back to pass. Bigsby was the back on eight passing plays, but with him now shipped to Philadelphia, an opportunity exists for Allen to carve out a greater role on passing downs. One of the most prolific collegiate pass catchers in his rookie class, it should come as no surprise if he's able to turn those looks into tangible plays, and he has contingent upside should anything happen to Etienne. As such, Allen is worth a claim in deep leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie LeQuint Allen Jr. is the team's top pass-blocking running back and is "likely to play a critical role on third downs," John Oesher of Jaguars.com writes. The seventh-round pick from Syracuse totaled just two carries in the preseason, but he did finish the exhibition schedule tied for the team lead in catches (eight). That's not surprising, as the dual threat wrapped up his three-year run in college last season with a personal-best 64 receptions. If Allen's going to make an impact with the Jags this season, it seems likely he'll have to do it in the passing game as part of a crowded RB group. He's behind Travis Etienne Jr., Tank Bigsby, and rookie fourth-rounder Bhayshul Tuten on the depth chart, which means touches will be hard to come by in 2025.
