Kyle Allen Fantasy

Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen completed 10-of-22 passes for 100 yards and no touchdowns in the team's preseason finale against the Baltimore Ravens. The Washington offense struggled in this one as they failed to score a touchdown. Inefficiency in both the passing and running game limited Washington to just 128 passing yards and 45 rushing yards all night. Allen should be the favorite for the No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart as Steven Montez saw limited action on Saturday night. The former Carolina Panther has some familiarity with head coach Ron Rivera, so he seems to be the logical option behind Ryan Fitzpatrick and Taylor Heinicke.

Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen will get his first action of the preseason on Friday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Allen suffered a gruesome ankle injury last year and continued his rehab all throughout the offseason. In his four starts last season, the 25-year-old threw for 610 yards and four touchdowns, leading Washington to just one win. With the arrival of Ryan Fitzpatrick and the emergence of Taylor Heinicke, the former Carolina Panther will likely start the season as the No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart. Allen is unlikely to see any playing time this season which takes him completely off the fantasy radar.

Washington Football Team quarterbacks Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen (ankle) will battle it out in the preseason for the backup role behind the team's unquestioned starter Ryan Fitzpatrick. Allen is dealing with the ankle injury he sustained during a training camp practice, so it could be an uphill battle for him to secure the backup role ahead of Heinicke. Heinicke signed a contract extension this offseason after his impressive performance in the playoffs against the eventual Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, meaning the team envisions a role for him. The preseason will be a crucial part in the determination of who wins the job, so whenever the two are on the field, they must make the most of it. Fitzpatrick will play in the preseason opener, but it is safe to say he won't see much action after that. Heinicke and Allen should be given plenty of opportunities to show what they can do. Heinicke is probably the favorite for the backup role, and he would have some QB2 intrigue in deeper two-QB leagues if Fitzpatrick missed time with an injury.
