Player Outlook
Sixth-round rookie running backs rarely draw much attention, but Penn State's Kaytron Allen landed in a nice spot in Washington, where he can compete for playing time this preseason. It's enough to put him on the redraft radar with a pick in the double-digit rounds as well as an early Round 2 choice in rookie-only drafts. Allen was part of a two-headed backfield for the Nittany Lions for two seasons and still accumulated over 1,100 rush yards each year. In fact, he scored at least eight times in three of four seasons. He's a strong, durable runner with underrated quickness and decision-making, plus he can be a factor on third downs once he understands the differences between college and the pros, but he's not a burner. The competition for touches this year is former seventh-rounder Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White, two guys who shouldn't have iron-clad grips on any role for Washington. This is a running back worth stashing in redraft just to see how the early part of the season plays out.

  • Commanders' Kaytron Allen: Most carries in loss

    Rotowire
    Allen rushed 10 times for 30 yards in Saturday's 17-13 preseason loss to the Lions. Allen once again saw the largest rushing workload for the Commanders, though his 10 rushes are significantly less than last Friday's 23. The running back also saw a target in the pass game, catching the ball even though it did not result in positive yardage. It appears Allen is continuing to prep for a tertiary rushing role in the 2026 campaign behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt (undisclosed) and Rachaad White (hamstring).

  • Commanders' Kaytron Allen: Sees heavy workload in win

    Rotowire
    Allen rushed 23 times for 85 yards and a touchdown and brought in one of two targets for one yard in the Commanders' 20-7 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday. The rookie sixth-round pick improved his rushing numbers over the prior season in each of his last three years at Penn State, and Allen is now trying to nail down the No. 3 job in a veteran running back room. Going by the amount of playing time he saw Friday, it's clear the coaching staff is intrigued with his potential. Allen's first chance to build on his game-high rushing yardage total and one-yard touchdown run comes in a road preseason matchup against the Lions on Saturday, Aug. 22.

  • Commanders' Kaytron Allen: Scooped up by Commanders

    Rotowire
    Washington selected Allen in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 187th overall. Allen spent his entire four-year college career at Penn State, and he mostly served in a committee with Nicholas Singleton before emerging as the Nittany Lions' lead rusher in 2025. Allen was named to both the All-Big Ten First-Team and All-American Second Team last year, when he turned 210 carries into 1,303 yards (6.2 YPC) and 15 touchdowns while adding 18 catches for 68 yards across 12 games. He is a powerful runner that gets better as the game progresses, and while he doesn't have blazing speed, he has the vision, patience and strength to grind out yards. The Commanders will likely take the committee approach to their backfield under new offensive coordinator David Blough, though Allen will have the opportunity to emerge with a role, with his competition for snaps coming from Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rachaad White, Jerome Ford and Jeremy McNichols.
