From the article

Allen has been a standout at Chiefs camp and started with the second-team offense in KC's preseason opener. Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice sat. Tyquan Thornton started alongside Allen but has since gone down with a minor injury. All we can say with that information is that Allen is in the running for the No. 3 job, but that's also a lot more than we could have said a few weeks ago.

Allen competing for Chiefs WR3 job; positioned for value if Rice/Worthy underperform.

Allen has been a standout at Chiefs camp and started with the second-team offense in preseason Week 1 while Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice sat. Tyquan Thornton, who started alongside Allen, has since suffered a minor injury. The source notes Allen is now in the running for the No. 3 WR job, a significant upgrade from his previous standing. With Rice unreliable and Worthy struggling in the NFL, the Chiefs' Week 1 WR3 could gain substantial value over the regular season.
