2024 Fantasy Outlook
Allen doesn't stand out in one particular area, but he's been a consistent presence along the Washington defensive line since 2017. His durability and ability as both a pass rusher and run defender are nearly unmatched compared to other interior defensive lineman. The result has been at least 60 tackles and five sacks in five of his last six seasons. Projecting forward, Allen is entering the final year of his second contract in the NFL and his age-30 campaign, and there are some signs of him potentially slowing down. His 53 total tackles in 2023 were the lowest of a full season in his career, and he also has posted his worst career missed tackle rate in each of the last two seasons. There's some risk in drafting Allen as a result, but he'll remain a stalwart of the Commanders' defensive unit even if his per game production continues to dip. Read Past Outlooks
Shifts to IR
The Commanders placed Allen (pectoral) on injured reserve Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Allen sustained a torn left pectoral muscle in the Commanders' Week 6 loss to the Ravens, so Wednesday's move to IR comes as no surprise. Expect 2024 second-round pick Jer'Zhan Newton to see increased work with Washington's first-team defensive line alongside Daron Payne while Allen recovers from this injury.

A 2017 first-round pick, Allen has started 15-to-17 games and recorded 61-to-68 tackles in five straight seasons since he missed 11 games his rookie year. He had one down year with only two sacks but otherwise has landed in the range of six-to-nine, and should find his way there again in 2023.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade rumors picking back up
The Commanders may be willing to trade Allen after selecting Jer'Zhan Newton in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The Commanders reportedly rebuffed trade offers for Allen prior to the draft, but they now have considerable depth at defensive tackles with Daron Payne and Newton in the mix. Allen has two seasons remaining on a four-year, $72 million contract extension and will count $44.4 million against the cap across those two years.
