Scheme Fit Analysis
Brian Flores coordinates a blitz-heavy 3-4 defense with a 48.0% blitz rate, which may help Allen’s production with increased passing opportunities. However, the scheme’s emphasis on blitzing may limit Allen’s ceiling, as he may be asked to cover receivers more frequently.
Trend Assessment
Declining
Allen’s production is declining due to a 31st percentile production grade and a downward trend in usage, as seen in his 38th percentile usage grade, and a Verdict grade of 38.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: DB2-DB3, with Allen maintaining his current level of production and increasing his efficiency. This would require him to remain a starter and maintain his current usage. Floor: DB6-DB8, with Allen losing playing time and efficiency due to an injury or coaching change, as seen in his trade value.
