News: 11 hours agoAllen played 15 snaps on special teams and didn't show up in the box score otherwise during the Commanders' 33-31 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Spin: After being limited mostly to garbage time through the first two games of the regular season, the rookie sixth-rounder didn't see the field on offense against Seattle. Allen saw a heavy workload during the preseason, but he figures to be an afterthought in the Commanders' offensive gameplan unless one of Jacory Croskey-Merritt or Rachaad White were to miss time. The Commanders head to London for a Week 4 tilt against the Colts this Sunday.

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.
