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
Activated off IR, will play Sunday
The Commanders activated Allen (pectoral) from injured reserve Saturday, and he carries no injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Falcons.
ANALYSIS
Allen suffered a torn left pectoral muscle during the Commanders' Week 6 loss to the Ravens. He was designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 18 and was activated off IR after logging full practices all week. Allen will likely reclaim his starting spot at defensive tackle alongside Daron Payne while Jer'Zhan Newton and Sheldon Day provide rotational depth.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could make late-season return
Allen might be able to return from his torn pectoral muscle before the end of the regular season, John Keim of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The defensive tackle has been out since Week 6 and was initially ruled out for the season, but when performing surgery on the injury, doctors discovered that the muscle was only partially torn. Allen's recovery has gone well so far, and he's been working out at the Commanders' facility, but until the team opens his 21-day practice window, he won't be eligible to come off IR.
