Dynasty Value Score (DVS)

2,053

Range 1,809–2,290

Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection

Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.

DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer

Buy

Allen had 1 solo tackles in 2026, ranking LB226 through 2 games. He's 22 — best seasons can still be ahead if the role holds. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. Age is on his side — a reasonable buy if the LB role keeps opening up.
