Summary

Zach Allen enters Year 8 as a 28-year-old defensive lineman for the Denver Broncos, posting 1 fantasy point in custom scoring across 17 games in 2025. He recorded 14 solo tackles, 4 TFL, 7 sacks, and 0 INT on a 71.0% defensive snap share, with a down trend. A free agent in 2020, Allen’s dynasty value remains at a #24 position rank with a trade value of 1,645.

Projection Rationale

Allen recorded 7 sacks and 14 solo tackles on a 71.0% defensive snap share, which suggests he remains a serviceable rotational DL2 asset. The 2025 baseline shows a stable floor, but his trend is declining. A mid-season injury or continued snap share decline could pressure his dynasty value.

Injury Risk

Allen carried full participation in practice in Week 14 of the 2025 season, indicating a low injury risk. His defensive role and zone-heavy coverage scheme also minimize exposure to contact.

Opportunity Notes

Allen’s defensive snap share declined across the season, averaging 71.0% and dipping as low as 58.0% in Week 10. His role as a rotational DL2 asset remains stable, but his trend is down. No clear competition exists on the Broncos’ depth chart.

Scheme Fit Analysis

The Broncos’ 3-4 hybrid scheme under Vance Joseph emphasizes zone-heavy coverage, which aligns with Allen’s skills as a rotational DL2. His 7 sacks and 14 solo tackles on a 71.0% defensive snap share suggest he remains a scheme fit.

Trend Assessment

Declining His 2025 defensive snap share declined from 81.0% in Week 1 to 58.0% in Week 10, and averaged 64.0% across the final two games, tracking a downward trend.

Ceiling / Floor

Ceiling clears 2025’s 1-point finish if Allen regains his earlier defensive snap share (81.0% in Week 1). Floor tracks near 1 point given his declining trend and stable snap share.

Comparable Player

His role as a rotational defensive lineman in a 3-4 hybrid scheme draws comparisons to Leonard Floyd from 2019 Atlanta — similar positional role, similar zone-heavy coverage emphasis, similar pressure and sack numbers.
