Bye week (2026): 7
FantasyPros PPR rank (pulled 2026-05-21): 194

2026 Outlook

Sixth-round pick to Washington who landed in a wide-open backfield. Battling Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, and Jerome Ford for the Week 1 starting job. Ford and White are both on one-year deals, so the long-term backfield could be Allen and Croskey-Merritt. FantasyPros calls him a decent dart throw at a possible Week 1 starting role.

Fantasy Points' Joe Dolan is even more bullish: Penn State's all-time leading rusher (1,303 yards, 15 TDs, 6.2 YPC in his senior year), nickname "Fatman," low-to-the-ground runner hard to bring down. Comparison: David Montgomery / Kyren Williams (do-it-all Day 3 back with high football IQ).

Role / Depth Chart

Competing for early-down or RB1 work in Washington with Croskey-Merritt, White, and Ford. Best Ball ADP: round 16 (RB59).
