From the article

The rookie saw only one offensive snap in his debut, raising plenty of questions this week. He was targeted on that play, but the pass was tipped at the line. Mahomes and the Chiefs staff have kept insisting they trust Allen and that his time will come. Don't be surprised if he gets a couple of plays scripted his way.

Rookie WR expected to get scripted plays after one-snap debut.

Allen, a rookie, saw only one offensive snap in his debut but was targeted on that play (though the pass was tipped at the line). The source notes that Mahomes and the Chiefs staff have insisted they trust Allen and that his time will come. Given the passing-game struggles against Denver, the source expects Allen to get a couple of plays scripted his way this week.
