2023 Fantasy Outlook
A 2017 first-round pick, Allen has started 15-to-17 games and recorded 61-to-68 tackles in five straight seasons since he missed 11 games his rookie year. He had one down year with only two sacks but otherwise has landed in the range of six-to-nine, and should find his way there again in 2023. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Records 5.5 sacks
Allen (knee) finished 2023 with 53 tackles (30 solo), 5.5 sacks and one pass defense in 16 games.
ANALYSIS
The only game he missed was Week 18, and he recorded the second-most QB hits (19) of his career despite having four other seasons with more sacks. On the other hand, PFF graded Allen at No. 124 out of 137 qualified interior defensive linemen for run defense, suggesting that what had once been one of his strengths as a DE on early downs has become a weakness now that he lines up at defensive tackle for about three-fourths of his snaps. It is possible a new coaching staff in Washington will want Allen on the edge more, though the 300-pounder has always manned the interior at least half the time since entering the league as a first-round pick in 2017. He has two years remaining on a four-year, $72 million extension, with non-guaranteed base salaries of $14 million (2024) and $15.5 million (2025) perhaps creating some question about his future under new management in Washington.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Won't be dealt
The Commanders don't have interest in trading Allen, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Allen is under contract for the next two seasons but has reportedly expressed some concern over the direction of the team. Even under a new front office led by general manager Adam Peters though, Allen still seems to be in the team's plans for the future. He played a career-high 832 snaps in 2023, though both his tackle and sack total fell relative to his previous standards.

2017
While the Washington defense was one of the league’s biggest disappointments in 2021, that
had nothing to do with Allen. He’s one of the league’s best pass-rushing defensive tackles,
reliably pushing for a sack or more per 100 snaps. Not just that, but he has 60-plus tackles in
each of the past four years. As much as Allen is not a serious candidate to provide elite value,
he should be a passable DL1 or strong DL2.
