Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen will have immense opportunity in Week 18 with Tyler Higbee (shoulder) out against the San Francisco 49ers. Higbee missed one game this season Allen took full advantage of it. The 5th-round-rookie caught four of his five targets for 50 yards and a touchdown during Higbee's Week 14 absence against the Baltimore Ravens. Allen showed his dominant receiving ability while at Clemson, which was the leading reason why the Rams drafted him. Strongly consider the first-year tight end as a DFS play and low-end TE1 in fantasy leagues this week.
Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen took over as the team's TE1 in their Week 14 overtime loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The rookie out of Clemson caught four of his five targets for 50 yards and a touchdown. Tyler Higbee (neck) was ruled out for the game, allowing Allen to showcase the receiving ability he showed in college. This is much more relevant in dynasty leagues as the rookie showed he can be a solid option for the Rams going forward. Allen may be considered a high-end TE2 if Higbee misses next week's matchup against the Washington Commanders.
Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen played in his first NFL game in Saturday's 34-17 preseason loss to the Las Vegas Raiders and did not disappoint. The fifth-round rookie out of Clemson hauled in a team-high eight catches on eight targets for 53 yards, including an incredible 15-yard contested catch in the second quarter. Allen has been praised for consistently winning in 50/50 situations like we saw Saturday night. While the rookie is still well behind Tyler Higbee, he will look to make a strong push for the team's backup tight end spot, as the Rams could desperately use his playmaking potential.
