Outlook Kaytron Allen

Kaytron Allen at Philadelphia — Deep Reserve Role Caps Week 1 Appeal

Allen enters Week 1 operating as the third running back in Washington's backfield rotation behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White. While teammate Jeremy McNichols was placed on injured reserve with a quad injury, Allen's path to touches remains firmly blocked by the primary backs.

Our weekly projections slate Allen for just 1.7 carries and around 6 rushing yards, totaling 1.3 fantasy points against Philadelphia. Fantasy managers have reacted accordingly, keeping his roster rate at 2% with a zero percent start rate. Keep him safely on the bench or waiver wire across all standard leagues.
