STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Rookie WR used exclusively in slot (100% of snaps); continues Cincinnati trend of 90%+ slot usage.

Rookie wide receiver aligned in the slot 100% of the time over 13 pass-play snaps against Seattle in Chiefs preseason Week 3, according to Pro Football Focus. Allen caught one of two passes thrown to him. The slot usage is a continuation of a trend from his time at University of Cincinnati, where in 2025 he was in the slot for over 90% of pass plays in the Bearcats' offense. In camp, Allen has shown a more well-rounded skill set, but in his rookie year, the offense may focus on using the preseason standout where he is most comfortable and experienced while he develops long-term.
