RotoWire NFL Articles on Cyrus Allen
From the article
Allen has unquestionably been the biggest winner of training camp and has elicited enormous amounts of hype to the point it seems like a formality the Cincinnati product will be a part of the team's pass-catching rotation. Allen's loudest supporters point to Stefon Diggs, a similarly built fifth-round pick who immediately broke onto the scene in Minnesota as a savvy slot target, as the blueprint of what's to come in Kansas City.
STACKED’s take
Allen is training camp's biggest winner but faces Mahomes injury and scheme concerns.
Allen, a 2026 fifth-round pick, is rostered in fewer than 20 percent of ESPN leagues and is described as the biggest winner of training camp with enormous hype suggesting he'll be part of Kansas City's pass-catching rotation. Supporters compare him to Stefon Diggs, a similarly built fifth-round pick who immediately broke out in Minnesota as a savvy slot target. However, detractors note Allen has yet to play in a live game with Patrick Mahomes (torn ACL rehab throughout preseason) and has compiled just five receptions for 27 yards with subpar preseason QB play. JJ Zachariason is skeptical of an Eric Bieniemy offense in 2026, especially if Mahomes is limited as a runner, and notes training camp darlings often disappoint.
