Todd Bailey selected Allen with the 1.13 pick in the FSGA Draft, which the source views as a huge mistake. The source argues that spending early draft capital on Allen is inefficient in guillotine leagues; they prefer to wait until the eighth round or later to draft a quarterback, noting that approximately 20 quarterbacks will produce enough in the first few weeks to keep a team alive. Allen's Week 1 matchup against Houston's dominant defense compounds the issue, and the opportunity cost of the early pick forces the team to rely on Isiah Pacheco in the RB2 spot.

Source transcript excerpt
In the FSGA draft, Allen was selected with the 1.13 pick by Todd Bailey. I think that's a huge mistake, especially with a Week 1 matchup against Houston's dominant defense. In addition to the tough matchup, the opportunity cost of taking Allen early puts this team in a position where it will have to rely on Isiah Pacheco to produce in their RB2 spot.
