How this is measured
Each bar is the league at his position; the marker is him. Right is better, the dashed line is the median. Ranks are out of the qualifying pool, ties shown as T-, and move every week as the pool changes.
Allen scores 10.3 standard points a game, RB18 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 5.1 and 15.9; 3 boom weeks (12+) and 2 busts (under 5). Next up, in Week 9, the Chiefs allow the 12th-fewest standard points to RBs, 15.5 a game.
Allen scores 11.4 half-PPR points a game, RB18 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 5.5 and 17.4; 3 boom weeks (16+) and 2 busts (under 6.5). Next up, in Week 9, the Chiefs allow the 12th-fewest half-PPR points to RBs, 17.9 a game.
Allen scores 12.5 PPR points a game, RB19 of 107 RBs with enough games. Most weeks land between 6.2 and 19.1; 1 boom week (20+) and 2 busts (under 8). Next up, in Week 9, the Chiefs allow the 13th-fewest PPR points to RBs, 20.2 a game.
How this is measured
Fantasy points are nflverse's standard and full-PPR scoring (6 points for a rushing or receiving touchdown, 4 for a passing touchdown, minus 2 for an interception or a lost fumble); half PPR is the average of the two. Ranks are points a game among players at his position with at least half the most games played. Most weeks is his 20th to 80th percentile game. Bars are green on a boom week and red on a bust; the dashed line is the starter line, the points a game of the RB24 in a 12-team league. The format you pick is remembered on this device.
How he's usedhis fingerprint, where the ball finds him and when
He runs between the tackles: 66% of his carries go at guard or tackle (league 52%). In short yardage he is the call: 41% of the team's touches with two or fewer to go (his overall share is 32%). His share of the team's touches is 32%: on third down it falls to 15%; inside the 20 it holds at 32%. He rarely moves before the snap: 44% of his touches come with motion (league 54%).
How this is measured
Every trait is a share of his own touches, so volume does not move it. The marker is him among the league's qualifying backs; the dashed line is the median. Styles are not grades: a high or low percentile is a description, not a verdict. Play action, screen, RPO, motion and blitz flags come from FTN charting and read low in a week it has not published.
Allen's -3.6 EPA is 29th of 70 backs. The biggest share comes after the catch (+9.6, 14th percentile per target).
career -0.02 over 2024 · the lowest of his 2 seasons
How this is measured
Every carry and target this season, split by what happened. Catches divide at the catch: the yards in the air and what came after. Runs are per carry, the receiving parts per target. The percentile is him among the qualifying backs, higher is better, so a cost smaller than most ranks high. The parts add up to the totals above; the career strip counts seasons with at least 30 touches.
He is targeted short right 1.8× as often as the league (36% of his targets against 20%) and gains +0.15 EPA a target there.
How this is measured
Every target with a charted depth and direction this season; sacks and throws with no charted direction are left out. Left and right are as the offense sees the field. Cells with fewer than three targets show no EPA.

Touches are steady: 22 a game over his last three against 16.8 for the season. He is doing more with less: 130 yards a game over the last three against 81. 5 straight games above a starter's median in touches. Week 8 was his season high in yards.
How this is measured
Bars are his week. The shaded band is the league's middle half at his position, every qualifying player-game this season, and the dashed line is its median. The solid line is his trailing three games. An × on the baseline is a game his team played without him; a dotted tick is the bye.
He has faced the 21st-toughest slate vs the run: his opponents rank 17.6 of 32 on average (league middle 16.6). Ahead: 3 of his next 9 are top-10 vs the run and 2 are bottom-10, starting with the Chiefs (9th, away) in Week 9.
