Cyrus Allen

Cyrus Allen might be one of the more interesting deep sleeper receivers from the 2026 class after landing in Kansas City. The former Bearcats wideout has quietly produced everywhere he has played, showcasing strong target-earning ability, separation skills, and positional versatility across multiple stops. With long-term uncertainty surrounding several Chiefs pass-catchers, Allen has a realistic pathway to eventually carving out a meaningful role in the offense. He remains a long-shot Day 3 prospect for redraft leagues, but dynasty managers looking for cheap upside should keep him firmly on the radar.

Speedy, zone-beating slot option. His usage was as an underneath/gadget weapon. Allen has some creativity to his route running. He'll be a slot-confined option in the NFL, deployed on screens, crossers, and out routes. Allen does possess good body control for a receiver of his size, which helps the case for his catch radius. Allen can churn out YAC with his speed, but don't expect him to break a ton of tackles in the open field (only 14 across four collegiate seasons).
