Cyrus Allen has impressed in the first week of Kansas City training camp, running with the first-team offense; HC Andy Reid mentioned trust in Allen from Patrick Mahomes. Dwain McFarland bumped him to WR5 on the KC depth chart with increased routes and target share, resulting in a 27-spot jump to WR97 in the overall rankings.PositiveBustJul 21, 2026
Round 5 pick for Chiefs; ranks WR25 in source's Rookie WR Model. Despite 13 TDs in final college season at Cincinnati, Allen is competing for a depth role on Andy Reid's offense. Source expresses skepticism about the hype, citing cautionary tale of Skyy Moore (1 TD across 3 seasons, 36 games in Kansas City). Source projects Allen at just 3.8 PPR points this season. Recommendation: only justify stashing if unlimited bench/taxi spots available; otherwise leave on waivers and target players with greater opportunity.
