News: 6 days agoAllen logged five carries for 24 yards in the last 3:01 of Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Cowboys.

Spin: Allen saw just six offensive snaps in Sunday's game, all in garbage time. The game was well out of reach by the time Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White left the field, leaving the sixth-round rookie to gain more NFL experience.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Allen was selected by the Commanders in the sixth round of April's draft. Allen has a good size and a solid efficiency profile, having ranked seventh in this rookie class in YAC (3.35) and 10th in forced missed tackle rate (4.5) during his four seasons at Penn State. Though he out-carried fellow draft prospect Nicholas Singleton in all four seasons at PSU, Allen was less involved as a receiver (career 70-490-4 line, including a weak 5.1 YPT) and doesn't figure to get much run as a receiver in the pros. Allen is a long shot as a sixth-rounder, but he's a name to monitor considering the state of the Washington backfield (Rachaad White, Jacory Croskey-Merritt). If Allen impresses during the offseason, he could sneak onto the fantasy radar.
