2022 Rush/Rec Projections
2022 Fantasy Outlook
A bruising back at 6-foot-2 and 238 pounds, Allen entered 2021 as the presumed third or fourth-string running back. Things all changed with Jalen Berger’s dismissal and season-ending injuries for Isaac Guerendo and Chez Mellusi moving him into a workhorse role. Allen finished with 1,219 yards and 11 rushing scores over the last nine games. While Mellusi and Guerendo’s returns to the mix could scale back the team’s reliance on Allen, he should remain the featured option in an offense that sported the nation’s fifth-highest run play rate (64.0 percent) last season.

Returns for bowl win
Allen recorded 22 rushes for 116 yards and one touchdown to go along with two receptions (two targets) for zero yards during Tuesday's 24-17 victory over Oklahoma State.
ANALYSIS
Allen reprised his role as the Badgers' leading rusher after sitting out the regular-season finale against Minnesota with a leg injury. The month off seemed to greatly help him, as the 235-pound rusher was able to rush with his typical physical and bruising style against a Cowboys defense that had lost numerous starters to graduation and the transfer portal. The sophomore also found his way into the end zone for the first time since Week 10, running 20 yards untouched into the end zone for the Badgers' final touchdown of the game. This marked Allen's second 1,000-plus-yard rushing season in a row, though he fell 22 yards and one touchdown shy of his freshman campaign while logging 44 more carries in 2022. It will be interesting to see how his usage changes when incoming offensive coordinator Phil Longo ushers in his air-raid-inspired scheme in 2023.
