Kyle Allen Fantasy

The Washington Redskins acquired quarterback Kyle Allen from the Carolina Panthers on Monday in exchange for a fifth-round pick, according to a source. Allen became expendable when the team signed XFL quarterback P.J. Walker on Monday. With Dwayne Haskins expected to be the team's starter under center entering the 2020 season, Allen will enter as the backup with Alex Smith's (leg) NFL future still up in the air. Allen went 5-7 as the fill-in starter for Cam Newton last year in Carolina and completed 62 percent of his passes for 3,322 yards, 17 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in 12 games started. The 24-year-old looked overmatched towards the end of the season and won't have any fantasy appeal in redraft leagues as long as he's a backup in D.C.

The Carolina Panthers re-signed quarterback Kyle Allen to a one-year deal on Tuesday. Allen was set to be an exclusive-rights free agent. The Panthers now have Cam Newton, Will Grier and Allen under contract for 2020. Allen made 12 starts last year after Newton aggravated his foot injury in Week 2, and he became the first QB in NFL history to win his first five starts with no interceptions. He then went on to lose seven of his next eight starts and had nine touchdowns and 12 interceptions down the stretch. Grier started the final two games in 2019 and went 0-2. Newton is expected to be ready for offseason workouts in April, and he should be the team's starter to begin the season, health permitting.

Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen finished with 295 yards and an interception on 25-for-41 passing during the loss to the Saints in Week 17. After rookie quarterback Will Grier exited the game in the second quarter after suffering a foot injury, Allen took over but wasn't able to get anything going. The 23-year-old had flashes of efficiency this season, winning five of his first six starts before taking a loss in the next six-straight. He will enter the 2020 offseason as an exclusive-rights free agent, with a solid chance that he could be named the starter come Week 1 of next season if Cam Newton (foot) finds himself on a new team.
