Cyrus Allen

Allen lands in Kansas City as a fifth-round pick, 176th overall, joining a shaky WR room beyond No. 1 Rashee Rice. Any Year 1 impact would still be considered a bonus rather than the expectation, given Allen's Day 3 draft capital and lack of dominant college production. He did have four seasons with at least 269 receiving yards, for three different schools, peaking at 46-778-4 in 2023 (Louisiana Tech) and 51-674-13 in 2025 (Cincinnati). Allen's red-zone prowess for the Bearcats last year may have interested Kansas City, but it's hard to see major fantasy upside in the profile when he's already 23 years old and doesn't boast elite speed (4.49 40) or size (5-foot-11,183). Kick returns may be his easiest path to playing time early on. Read Past Outlooks
