In Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans, Braelon Allen posted a season-high 17.6 fantasy points, thanks to this stat line: 7 carries, 33 yards, 1 TD; 2 receptions, 23 yards, 1 TD. In his worst game of the season -- Week 1 against the San Francisco 49ers -- Allen finished with 1.7 fantasy points. His stat line: 1 carry, 8 yards.

It's too easy to get swept up in the "He's gonna take over the backfield, he's better than the starter" narratives, but don't let it happen. Especially not before an international game against one of the best defenses in the NFL.

Making the right lineup choices is one of the most difficult parts of fantasy football. It’s also one of the most important. How many times have we all been left regretting our decisions after losing a close game while someone puts up 30 points on our bench?
