Cyrus Allen caught 1-of-2 targets for 18 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 7 loss to the Seahawks. 2026-10-26 00:00:02 Allen was the recipient of Patrick Mahomes’ first target of the game, which he took down the right sideline for a tidy 18-yard gain. He would disappear into oblivion the rest of the way as he continued to play behind Andrew Armstrong and Jalen Royals, with Justin Watson also worked into the game plan in this one. Head coach Andy Reid has a long history of taking his time to develop rookies, meaning fantasy managers are likely forced to be patient. In other words, keep Allen on fantasy benches, for the time being. |

Cyrus Allen caught both of his targets for 27 yards in the Chiefs’ Week 6 win against the Chargers. 2026-10-18 22:00:02 Rashee Rice’s absence didn’t translate into more playing time for Allen, who logged a mere five pass routes against the Chargers. He can remain on waiver wires until his playing time increases, which is unlikely if Rice is able to return in the coming weeks. |

When asked about Chiefs WR Cyrus Allen, WR coach Chad O’Shea said rookie wide receivers are “always a work in progress.” 2026-09-24 14:00:03 You don’t say, Chad. Allen was the talk of Chiefs training camp. Beat reporters celebrated his ability to beat man coverage and win over the middle of the field — two aspects that help wide receivers thrive in fantasy. Unfortunately, Allen has logged just four offensive snaps this season. O’Shea adds that Allen is improving every day, both “fundamentally and schematically.” Good for him. The once-intriguing rookie is droppable in 12-team formats, though an in-season breakout remains possible. Theoretically. |

Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy said the team is going to continue building up WR Cyrus Allen to a bigger workload “the right way.” 2026-09-17 14:00:02 Apparently, that means barely using him on game day, at least in the short term. Allen played one snap in the Chiefs’ season opener, despite starting WRs Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy combining for a just 5/37/1 stat line. Bieniemy also said that Allen is “going to be a part of our success moving forward. I guarantee that.” Given Allen’s Week 1 usage, becoming fantasy-relevant could take quite some time. |

Cyrus Allen caught 1-of-2 targets for 12 yards in the Chiefs’ preseason game against the Seahawks. 2026-08-29 00:00:02 The Chiefs let most of their starters take the field in this game and Allen wasn’t among them. He didn’t see a snap until after Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Tyquan Thornton had all left the contest. His first target didn’t come until the third quarter, and it was a drop on a high throw. The rookie rebounded with a 12-yard gain for a first down on the very next play. After playing well into the second half of the team’s final preseason game, Allen is, at best, the Chiefs’ WR4 entering the season. Despite the strong training camp, he shouldn’t be in starting fantasy lineups for Week 1. |
