2024 Fantasy Outlook
Allen spent the 2023 season on the 49ers' practice squad while Sam Darnold backed up star quarterback Brock Purdy. With Darnold in Minnesota this time around, Allen has another opportunity to beat out a veteran backup (Joshua Dobbs) for rights to be the No. 2 signal caller for Kyle Shanahan's vaunted offense.

Serving as emergency QB in Week 13
Allen (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday night's contest against Buffalo and will be the 49ers' emergency third quarterback, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Allen will drop to the No. 3 role at quarterback in Week 13 after completing 17 of 29 passes for 199 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the team's Week 12 loss to the Packers. Joshua Dobbs will operate in the backup role behind Brock Purdy versus the Bills.

The 49ers' quarterback situation was mangled by injury in 2022, so the team brought in Sam Darnold and Allen to add veteran depth to the young position group. The latter comes in at fourth on the pecking order, giving him a slim chance to make the cut come Week 1. A sixth-round pick with Jacksonville in 2016, Allen has seen action as a backup with Denver and Cincinnati, completing 56.7 percent of his passes and 10 touchdowns to six interceptions over that span.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Drawing Week 12 spot start
Allen, who's made just three regular-season pass attempts since the start of the 2022 campaign, will draw the start for the 49ers against the Packers on Sunday due to Brock Purdy being ruled out because of a shoulder injury, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Allen put up 226 pass attempts over the first two NFL seasons he saw action in back in 2019 and 2020, but he's been very sparsely utilized since that point while playing behind Joe Burrow in Cincinnati. Allen has been running the 49ers' scout team for most of his nearly two seasons in San Francisco, and he just found out Friday he'd be starting since the expectation was Purdy's shoulder soreness would improve as the week went on.
