2022 Fantasy Outlook
Allen struggled in 2020 with only 13 tackles and 2.5 sacks in eight games, but he bounced back last season and recorded 71 tackles and 7.5 sacks. The 24-year-old was often a focal point of offensive protection schemes, so his production didn't necessarily match his level of play. Jacksonville added defensive talent through both the draft and free agency, so Allen could be a bit more freed up while rushing the passer in 2022. Read Past Outlooks

Forces strip-sack in win
LBJacksonville Jaguars
January 3, 2023
Allen recorded six tackles (three solo), including one sack, and a forced fumble during Sunday's 31-3 win against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Allen logged his third sack in the last four weeks, forcing a fumble as he brought down Houston signal-caller Davis Mills early in the second quarter. This also marked the Jaguars' only takeaway in this massive blowout. Allen also paced Jacksonville with 74 percent of defensive snaps played since the team benched its starters early in the second half. Allen has now accumulated six sacks over 16 games this season, and he should have a good chance to get after Titans quarterback Joshua Dobbs in Week 18, as Tennessee has allowed the seventh-most sacks in the league with 45.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Although Allen's 2020 season was highly disappointing, it would be a mistake to judge him based on those stats. Rather than his 2.5-sack season last year, Allen is more accurately portrayed by his 2019 season, when he produced 10.5 sacks on just 646 snaps. Now heading into his age-24 season, Allen is the kind of pass-rushing talent who could finish among the league leaders in sacks multiple times before his career is over. With 4.63 speed on a 6-5, 262-pound frame, Allen has excellent athleticism to pair with his standout skill set.
It didn't take long in Allen's rookie season for the seventh overall pick to prove he's the real deal, and now expectations are up accordingly for his second season. After posting 44 tackles and 10.5 sacks in 646 snaps, the questions for Allen now are A) how many snaps he might earn in 2020 and B) whether he can make his per-snap production even better. As to A), fellow Jacksonville end Yannick Ngakoue tended to play 770 snaps per year, so there's reason to worry the Jaguars might cap Allen's reps somewhat. The number of linemen who play 900 or more snaps is small, and Allen doesn't appear to be among them. Still, if he maintains last year's per-snap production over 800 snaps, Allen would project to roughly 55 tackles and 13 sacks.
