The Dolphins claimed RB Kaytron Allen off waivers.
Fantasy Impact
Allen will add depth in the Commanders backfield behind Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright. He is purely a player to monitor for now for fantasy managers.
Kaytron Allen (hip) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie's hip injury is nothing serious and he has been cleared to play through it on Sunday. He isn't expected to be a relevant fantasy option for the foreseeable future, however, even if he maintains perfect health.
Kaytron Allen (hip) was listed as a limited participant at practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie seems to have picked up a hip injury somewhere along the way, as it left him limited for the team's practice on Wednesday. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much to change in Washington's backfield whether or not he is available to play this week.
Kaytron Allen rushed four times for 16 yards in the Commanders’ 24-22 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1.
Fantasy Impact
Allen was more of an afterthought as part of the Washington backfield attack in the season opener, finishing last in touches in the loss. The running back is more of a change-of-pace option in a crowded Washington backfield at this point, with a Week 2 divisional contest against the Dallas Cowboys up next.
The Washington Commanders have selected RB Kaytron Allen with the No. 187 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Fantasy Impact
The Washington Commanders entered the 2026 NFL Draft with a need at running back. While they missed out on Jeremiyah Love, the Commanders got a steal with Kaytron Allen in the sixth round. His 4,180 rushing yards at Penn State are the most in school history, ahead of several big-name stars, including Saquon Barkley. He will split the backfield work with last year's seventh-round pick, Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Allen could be this year's Kyle Monangai and potentially better for fantasy players.
