Allen secured his only target for 14 yards during Sunday's 28-20 victory against the Commanders.

Tyler Higbee's return from a neck injury did lower the rookie tight end's usage on offense, but Higbee didn't completely dominate the snap share at the position like usual -- the veteran was on the field for 47 snaps to Allen's 26. Higbee did outproduce Allen with four catches for 36 yards on five targets, but how the two players are deployed against the Saints in Week 16 will be telling with respect to whether the rookie has earned a more significant role or if Higbee was simply being eased back into action.
