Kyle Allen Fantasy

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.

The initial diagnosis on Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen's injury is a dislocated ankle, but Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network says the fracture is small, which appears to make the injury slightly better than it initially looked. Allen is going to miss time, though, and we should expect someone else -- likely Alex Smith, unless the team surprisingly goes back to Dwayne Haskins -- to quarterback this team for the rest of the 2020 season. Whoever takes over under center -- either Smith or Haskins -- will be a low-end QB2 for fantasy managers. It's also potentially bad news for top receiver Terry McLaurin.

Washington Football Team quarterback Kyle Allen (leg) has left Sunday's game against the New York Giants with what appears to be a fairly significant leg injury. If Allen is unable to return to this game or moving forward, expect Alex Smith will take over as the team's starting quarterback. Smith is currently in at quarterback for Washington. Allen was 5-for-7 for 61 yards at the time of the injury.
