From the video

We are obviously going to talk about Cyrus Allen. I wouldn't go too crazy on either one of these guys. I would not spend more than one to 2%.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Chiefs TE ran 2 routes, 1 target; cap FAAB at 1–2%, prefer Royals

Chiefs TE competing with Jaylen Royals for Taekwon Thornton's vacated role; ran only 2 routes in the game and was targeted on 1 snap. Mattek Fantasy Football would not spend more than 1–2% FAAB on him, preferring Royals due to higher route volume. Possible that Andy Reid and Eric Bieniemy could elevate him after two weeks off to game-plan without Thornton.
