Dynasty Rookie Draft Profile: Davis Allen

Davis Allen Dynasty Rookie Draft Outlook

Davis Allen is a one speed runner in the open field. If you’re looking for him to pull away from linebackers in coverage, you’ll be waiting a while watching film. He only averaged 4.6 YAC per reception in his collegiate career, with five missed tackles (88 receptions).

While he won’t be a big play threat in the NFL, that doesn’t mean he can’t be a dependable target underneath and against zone coverage for a quarterback. He ranked 26th in catch rate last year and first in contested catch rate (minimum six contested targets). Allen is strong at the catch point high pointing balls, and securing everything thrown in his direction. With these traits alone, he could develop into a consistent red zone threat.

Davis Allen is a solid blocker who executed a lot of different assignments from different alignments and who presents his quarterback with a big target and reliable pair of hands underneath. He might need to add a little bit of bulk and functional strength at the pro level, but has a very translatable skillset and looks like a safe pick, especially for a team looking to play smashmouth football.
