Kaytron Allen Fantasy Overview

Dolphins RB Jaylen Wright (quad) won't play vs. the Lions today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Wright has averaged 4.8 carries and 0.5 targets as Miami's No. 2 RB over the last four games, so his absence could be a slight boost to RB Ollie Gordon's workload. RBs Kaytron Allen and Carlos Washington figure to be active behind Gordon today.

The Dolphins claimed RB Kaytron Allen off waivers. It's about the best landing spot for Allen in terms of a path to playing time this season. But it's tough to be optimistic after he averaged 3.4 yards per carry across 12 attempts for the Commanders and then was waived after just 4 weeks. Allen is fine to keep stashed on dynasty benches, but we wouldn't bother with him in redraft right now.

The Commanders released RB Kaytron Allen. He essentially lost his roster spot to 31-year-old Austin Ekeler. Tough look for the sixth-round rookie, who averaged 3.4 yards per carry on 12 attempts for Washington. We'll see where Allen lands next, but he's not worth rostering in redraft leagues and isn't a must-stash in dynasty. The Commanders move forward with RBs Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, and Ekeler.

Commanders RB Rachaad White (shoulder) is out for Sunday morning’s game vs. the Colts after missing practice all week. His absence leaves Washington with RBs Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Kaytron Allen, and Austin Ekeler. We’ll see if Ekeler is ready to play after signing earlier this week, but he’s the only RB in that trio with pass-catching chops.
