Javorius Allen was the best rusher on the field for the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15, rushing 13 times for 70 yards and catching a pass for four yards in the win over the Cleveland Browns. Allen had one more touch than starting RB Alex Collins. He outrushed Collins by 51 yards. Most of his yards were accumulated in the second half. Allen was held below 30 yards rushing the previous five games coming into Sunday’s contest.

Saturday Allen will look to repeat his Week 15 performance against a lowly Indianapolis Colts defense. The Colts have the fourth-worst rushing defense in the NFL. They give up the fifth-most rushing yards and fourth-most touchdowns to RBs in the league.
Fantasy impact: Allen had a big game, but hold off on considering him for your fantasy finals. Most of his yards came in ice time in the fourth quarter. The Ravens are committed to Collins. Next week they are going to return to the normal routine against the Colts. Allen could get some late-game action again this week, but there is too much at stake to take a chance on him.
