Kaytron Allen listed as late-round fantasy target by ESPN
Summary

ESPN's Matt Bowen identified Washington Commanders running back Kaytron Allen as a potential late-round fantasy draft pick for the upcoming season. Bowen highlighted Allen's physical running style and goal-line potential, noting his performance at Penn State, where he accumulated 4,180 rushing yards and 39 touchdowns. Despite being a sixth-round pick due to concerns over speed, Allen's early usage in goal-line situations during the preseason suggests he may have an edge in securing a key role. The competition is stiff, with UDFA Robert Henry Jr. also performing well.
