LeQuint Allen Jr.: game-time decision Sunday (soft tissue)

THE FACT. Jaguars coach Liam Coen said Wednesday that Allen, who missed the end of camp with a lower-body soft-tissue injury, will be a game-time decision for Sunday's opener against Cleveland, according to the Florida Times-Union's Ryan O'Halloran (Sept. 9). Allen did not appear to practice Wednesday, and his participation the rest of the week will decide his status.
THE VERDICT. Sit him. Allen is the projected third-down back, and a game-time call on a soft-tissue injury with no practice reps is a benching even in deep PPR formats. Redraft: leave him on the bench and watch the Friday report. If he sits, Ameer Abdullah inherits the passing-down snaps and is a flex dart only in 14-team leagues. DFS: fade the entire Jacksonville backfield committee on the road in Cleveland.
