Positive signalProjection

Allen's MVP-level efficiency and rushing volume justify early-round draft cost.

Allen delivered MVP-caliber performance in Week 1 with 4 total touchdowns (20/29, 334 passing yards, 23 rushing yards, 0 INTs) against Houston. His efficiency metrics significantly outpaced the field: 0.53 EPA per dropback (vs. -0.12 for all other QBs vs. HOU in 2025), 48.4% passing success rate (vs. 37.4%), and 29.0% explosive pass rate (vs. 13.2%). Six rushing touches on 32 dropbacks highlight why Allen was one of the better early-round QB options, combining top-end passing efficiency with rushing volume.
