Jonathan Allen Fantasy

Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen (groin) is active for Week 2 against the Detroit Lions despite being listed as questionable. He played just 54 percent of snaps due to injury last week but was still productive, tallying three tackles and one sack. Through 17 games in 2021, he registered 62 tackles and nine sacks. The 27-year-old's presence will create an obstacle for the Detroit offense on Sunday.

Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen (groin) has been added to the team's injury report as questionable ahead of their Week 2 matchup with the Detroit Lions. Allen suffered a groin injury in Week 1 against the Jacksonville Jaguars but there has been no indication that it is anything serious. The Pro Bowler was a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited on both Wednesday and Thursday, so it would be a surprise to see him ruled out. The expectation is that Allen will still suit up on Sunday.

The Washington Football Team activated defensive ends Montez Sweat (jaw), James Smith-Williams and Casey Toohill and defensive tackle Jonathan Allen from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. Sweat, who was on Injured Reserve with a broken jaw before going on the COVID list, has been designated to return and could play on Tuesday against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a huge boost for Washington's defensive line in Week 15 and a slight downgrade for the Eagles offense and running game against their division rivals. Washington's rush defense has been strong this year, allowing just 93.6 yards on the ground per game, good for fifth-best in the NFL. Despite the reinforcements, there are plenty of better defensive units to run out in starting lineups this week in fantasy.
