Allen was the beneficiary of the Rams' three-tight-end heavy approach in Week 7 against the Raiders, recording two touchdown grabs on just 12 routes. With Davante Adams out for the year, Sean McVay is 'ready and willing to go all-in on the three tight end thing,' creating touchdown upside for Allen.

Davis Allen (No. 87) scored an easy touchdown against the Raiders when they were in man coverage; rookie cornerback Treydan Stukes mirrored Allen's pre-snap motion but was duped by a play-action fake where Allen bluffed a block on Jeremy Chinn, allowing Allen to slip free in the end zone for an uncontested pitch-and-catch.

Allen posted a two-score performance in Week 7, marking his second season with multiple touchdowns. Over his four-year career, he has been targeted only 71 times, catching 50 passes for 425 yards and six touchdowns (70%+ catch rate), but has been targeted just 14 times this season and cracked 100 receiving yards only once in a season, indicating underutilization despite his efficiency.

Allen demonstrated he can do more than block in the Week 7 win over the Raiders. In Year 4, he has been targeted only 71 times across his career, catching 50 passes for 425 yards and six touchdowns (70%+ catch rate), but has only been targeted 14 times this season. His two-score performance in Week 7 gives him two seasons with multiple touchdowns, suggesting untapped potential if he receives more volume.

Allen took on more playing time with Davante Adams (IR - hamstring) out of the mix, but his route share (43%) still wasn't great, so don't expect more multi-TD games. Allen does take some QB sneaks for the Rams, however, so he has a second path to a cheap TD at some point.

On a season-high five targets, caught four passes for 20 yards and two touchdowns against Seattle; however, this was certainly a total fluke; Allen ran just 12 routes that afternoon, and nothing in his history suggests he can repeat it; don't expect to see his name in studs again anytime soon.

Allen ran only 12 routes but received 5 targets in the Rams-Raiders game; the source explicitly recommends not picking him up despite the target volume, as the Raiders' defensive scheme left underneath work for Allen and Kobe Parkinson rather than using them in the traditional deep role.

Allen posted a two-touchdown performance in Week 7 to finish as TE4 of the week, but the source does not buy this is indicative of future fantasy points. He ran 38 percent of the Rams' routes and was targeted on 42 percent of them for five total targets, catching four for 20 yards and two touchdowns; as the third tight end by routes, he is viewed as a TE2 for Week 8 at best.
