Yahoo Sports NFL on Cyrus Allen

Allen emerging as Mahomes' favorite target in camp amid Rice's ACL rehab.

Although Cyrus Allen is not currently listed in the OPOY odds, the Cincinnati product and Kansas City Chiefs fifth-round pick has generated plenty of hype early in training camp. With Patrick Mahomes yet to establish a true No. 1 wide receiver since Tyreek Hill left Kansas City, and Rashee Rice still rehabbing from an ACL tear with Travis Kelce in the final stages of his career, Allen could emerge as that guy. Per Pete Sweeney's observation, early in camp with Rashee Rice not working team, Cyrus Allen has undoubtedly been Patrick Mahomes' favorite target.
