Davis Allen Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth TE for deep leagues only
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE44 last season at 3.7 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 3 games he's TE50 at 2.6 PPR points per game, against 3.7 over 17 games last season (TE44). He's running behind last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 46th of 81 in route participation (37.4%), 47th of 82 in target share (5.7%) and 56th of 82 in efficiency (0.90 yards per route run). Efficiency is the soft spot. Matthew Stafford is his quarterback.
He's TE4 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.
The next favorable matchups are the Cardinals in Week 6 (6th against TEs) and the Raiders in Week 7 (4th against TEs).

Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Allen's 2025 line tells the whole story: 24 grabs for 208 yards and three scores on a 50.3% snap share, finishing TE50 with just 38.8 fantasy points. He ran routes on barely 37% of dropbacks, drew a 5.7% target share, and posted a feeble 0.143 targets per route run with 3.94 air yards per look. The efficiency markers were respectable for the volume he saw -- a 0.164 EPA per play and 54.5% success rate, plus seven red-zone targets that fueled the touchdowns -- but the WOPR of 0.102 underlines how little of the passing pie reaches him.
The path forward is blocked. He sits behind Higbee, Parkinson, rookie Ferguson, and Klare on the Rams' tight end ladder, and without an injury ahead of him the snaps simply aren't there. Consensus rankings near TE87 reflect that reality. He's a touchdown-or-bust dart with no floor -- leave him on waivers in standard formats.
