Chiefs fifth-rounder Allen emerging as Mahomes' favorite target in early camp.

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