Allen caught both his targets for eight yards and returned two kickoffs for 52 yards during Sunday's 36-19 win against the Colts.
The rookie seventh-round pick's 16 offensive snaps were his highest total since Week 10, though he didn't see much action until the fourth quarter of the blowout victory. No. 2 tailback Bhayshul Tuten had a reduced role after losing a fumble in the second quarter, but starter Travis Etienne soaked up most of those reps. Allen could step into the backup job if Tuten continues to have issues with ball security, but Allen appears locked into the No. 3 job for now.
Allen rushed eight times for 36 yards and returned two kickoffs for 55 yards during Sunday's 35-6 win against the Chargers.
Travis Etienne and Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) combined for 34 carries, with Allen stepping in for mop-up duty on the final drive of the blowout victory. Allen has played double-digit snaps in all but one game this season, but Sunday's contest was the first time he received more than two offensive touches. The rookie seventh-round pick could move up to No. 2 on the depth chart if Tuten is forced to miss some time, but Allen still wouldn't be likely to see much meaningful action if Etienne remains healthy.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Plays season-high 22 snaps
Rotowire
Allen had one carry for 10 yards and caught his only target for one yard during Sunday's 30-29 win against the Raiders.
The 21-year-old played a season-high 22 offensive snaps but was significantly less involved than fellow rookie tailback Bhayshul Tuten, who had 10 touches on 20 snaps. Allen has played double-digit offensive snaps in seven of eight games this year but has just five carries for 32 yards and six receptions for 35 yards. He appears locked in as the Jaguars' No. 3 running back behind Tuten and starter Travis Etienne.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Looks solidified as No. 3 RB
Rotowire
Allen rushed twice for 13 yards during Jacksonville's 31-27 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.
Allen took a step back to fellow rookie Bhayshul Tuten (eight carries for 42 yards, two catches for 32 yards and a score) in Week 2 after having handled more snaps than him Week 1. In the wake of Jacksonville trading Tank Bigsby, Tuten looks entrenched as the No. 2 man behind Travis Etienne, with Allen having lost out on the backup competition but still in line for opportunities for change-of-pace touches as the No. 3 man. The rookie seventh-round pick will work to keep making the most of his depth role Week 3 against the Texans.

Jaguars' LeQuint Allen: Minor role in debut
Rotowire
Allen carried once for seven yards and caught his lone target for four yards during Sunday's 26-10 win against the Panthers.
The rookie seventh-round pick received both his touches during the first half and played just nine offensive snaps in his professional debut. Allen played a few more snaps than fellow rookie Bhayshul Tuten, but the specifics are a bit of a moot point after the Jaguars traded No. 2 tailback Tank Bigsby to the Eagles on Monday. Travis Etienne is entrenched as the starter, but it appears Allen and Tuten will now compete for the backup job as the only other running backs currently on the roster.
