I believe last year's slump to be more of an outlier for Allen than the start of a trend...I'm targeting Allen as a good DT2 with upside.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

DT2 value play; 2025 slump viewed as outlier after four strong seasons.

DT Zach Allen saw his snap count drop from 954 in 2024 to 797 in 2025, and his tackle totals plummeted from 32 solos and 29 assists to 14-24—his lowest solo tackle total since his rookie year in 2019. However, the source views this as an outlier rather than a trend. Allen has been a strong IDP option in four consecutive seasons in Arizona, including a rank of seventh among tackles in 2024, and has contributed 25 sacks and 20 batted passes over the last four seasons. With 800+ snaps still providing plenty of opportunity for tackle production to rebound, the source is targeting Allen as a good DT2 with upside and a potential draft day bargain after his down season.
