Kyle Allen Fantasy

The Washington Football team tendered quarterback Kyle Allen as an exclusive-rights free agent on Wednesday. Allen completed 69 percent of his passes for 610 yards and four touchdowns in four starts for the team last season, but a dislocated ankle ended his 2020 campaign. He will return for the 2021 season alongside Taylor Heinicke and Steven Montez. The 25-year-old Allen needed surgery on his ankle and is expected to be fully recovered by April. Dwayne Haskins Jr. and veteran Alex Smith are now out of the picture in D.C., which could give Allen the leg up for the starting job under center if he's healthy this summer. However, Heinicke also impressed during a playoff start and Allen won't have much fantasy upside as a QB2 if he's the starter.

Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen (ankle) continues to make progress in his rehab from a dislocated ankle and is expected to be fully recovered by April. Allen was able to complete 69 percent of his passes with four touchdowns and a 99.3 rating in his four starts last season before his season-ending injury. Washington has exclusive rights to Allen for the 2021 season, so he should be back with the team. With the future of Alex Smith unknown, the 24-year-old Allen could open next season as the team's starter, with Taylor Heinicke backing him up. Washington won't be the most attractive place to search for a QB in fantasy, however, because there will be plenty of competition under center, especially if Smith returns for another season.

Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen (ankle) is having surgery on the dislocated ankle that he suffered in the Week 9 loss to the division-rival Giants and he will be out for the rest of the season, according to a source. Allen is likely looking at a four-month recovery, but he should be ready in time for the 2021 season. He also had a small fracture in the ankle. In four starts this year, the 24-year-old went 60-for-87 for 610 yards, four touchdowns and an interception. Veteran Alex Smith, who nearly had his career end due to a gruesome leg break in 2018, threw for 325 yards against the Giants in relief of Allen, but he also tossed three interceptions. It remains to be seen if Washington will go with Smith or Dwayne Haskins Jr. under center moving forward, but whoever it is should be considered only a low-end QB2.
