Video: Week 9 Waiver Wire - Prepare NOW for the Fantasy Playoffs
Cyrus Allen is trending up in terms of his route percentage and drop back rate up to 50% this past week. He's now cleared Andrew Armstrong, Jaylen Royals... he's now wide receiver three on the team in terms of his routes... he has the value of just the upside... he's their best, I think, man coverage beater right now and they're going to need someone to step up in those situations.

Chiefs WR3 trending up with 50% route share; playoff ramp-up candidate.

Cyrus Allen is trending up with route percentage and drop-back rate now at 50% this past week; he has cleared Andrew Armstrong and Jaylen Royals to become the Chiefs' wide receiver three in terms of routes. Bam Knight sees playoff upside in Allen's trajectory, noting that Kansas City has historically underutilized rookies early (Rasheed Rice, Tyreek Hill, Xavier Worthy) but then ramped them up late in the season. Allen is positioned as a man-coverage beater the Chiefs will need down the stretch, and his involvement has grown exponentially since the team's bye week in week five.
