Allen was one of the early standouts in St. Joseph, Mo., making plays every day and steadily moving up the depth chart. With each impressive camp showing, Allen seemed to be earning a little more trust from Patrick Mahomes.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Allen was camp standout before shin injury; could carve role if Rice, Worthy don't step up.

Round 5 pick (176th overall) was one of early standouts in St. Joseph, making plays every day and steadily moving up depth chart; with each impressive camp showing, earning more trust from Patrick Mahomes; recently suffered injury (bone bruise on shin) and carted off field but news came back better than expected and not expected to be sidelined long; potential fantasy impact will be debated given rookie receivers have been mixed bag in Kansas City and more established options exist, but with Rashee Rice still working back from injury and Xavier Worthy needing to prove more, Allen has chance to use shiftiness to carve out role.
