Allen's 27 PPR projection and depth role make him a risky stash despite early Mahomes connection.
Cyrus AllenKC
Allen is WR25 in the Rookie WR Model after landing with the Chiefs in Round 5; projections have him scoring just 27 PPR points this season despite Pete Sweeney reporting he's been Mahomes' favorite target early on. Matthew Berry expresses skepticism about the hype, citing the Skyy Moore precedent (1 TD in 36 games with Kansas City) and noting Allen is competing for a depth role on the offense. Additionally, Allen collided with a teammate on a special teams punt rep and needed assistance getting off the field, raising injury concerns. The recommendation is to leave him on waivers unless you have unlimited bench/taxi spots.
