Davis Allen's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen (shoulder) came into Thursday night's game against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers in Week 15 as questionable with a shoulder injury, but he is active and will play. Fellow tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) will have to wait at least another week to make his season debut, so it will be Allen and Colby Parkinson again splitting the TE work for the Rams against San Francisco. The 23-year-old Allen hasn't played over 50 percent of the offensive snaps since Week 11 and has seen just one target in the last four games, so there's no reason for fantasy managers to trust him in starting lineups, even in the deepest of formats. Parkinson, meanwhile, has only four receptions on five targets for 53 yards and one touchdown in the last four games. Fantasy managers are better off avoiding the Rams' TE situation.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) has been ruled out for Week 15's Thursday night game against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. Meanwhile, fellow TE Davis Allen (shoulder) is listed as questionable. Higbee hasn't played all year after tearing his ACL and MCL in his right knee in a playoff game in January last season, although he's practiced in full the last two weeks and is nearing his season debut, potentially in Week 16 against the New York Jets. If Higbee isn't activated before next weekend's game, he'll be forced to miss the entire season. With both Higbee and Allen potentially out on Thursday night, both Colby Parkinson and Hunter Long could be forced into bigger roles in the passing game. Parkinson would be the more attractive option, but as nothing more than TE2 sleeper. Parkinson has 27 catches for 267 yards and one touchdown in 13 games in 2024.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen is expected to get at least one more week as the Rams' primary tight end since Tyler Higbee (knee) was ruled out despite putting in full practices all week. Allen has been stuck in a timeshare with Colby Parkinson and Hunter Long for the past few weeks since a five-catch game in Week 10 against the Dolphins. He has only had one target in his last three games combined and hasn't made much of a fantasy impact. Last week, Parkinson and Long each had just one target since the current offense does not prioritize looks for the position. This week the 23-year-old from Clemson is RotoBaller's TE43.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen should not be started in any formats this weekend when he faces the New Orleans Saints. Since Week 9, Allen has surpassed the former No.1 tight end, Colby Parkinson, on the depth chart. However, while Allen has begun to see the majority of snap opportunities, he has not been able to produce consistently from a fantasy perspective. During this span, Allen caught just six passes and averaged a mere 2.5 PPR points per game. In addition, Allen has not caught a pass in each of his past two games and only saw one target during this span. With Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Demarcus Robinson, and Kyren Williams seeing most of the opportunities, Allen may only see a handful of targets each week. Facing a New Orleans defense that has allowed the 15th-fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends, Allen should not be started in any formats.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Davis Allen falls outside the top 24 fantasy options heading into Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles. While Allen impressed with five catches and 34 yards back in Week 10, he was less productive and less involved against the New England Patriots last Sunday, failing to catch a pass. Not only was he out-produced by fellow tight end Colby Parkinson (one catch, 19 yards, one touchdown), but he also saw his snap share drop to 65 percent. Further complicating Allen's status is a tough matchup against the Eagles. Philadelphia has defended tight ends quite well this season, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points and second-fewest touchdowns to the position. Between the presence of Parkinson and a tougher opponent in Philadelphia, Allen should be benched in most fantasy leagues this week.
