Dwayne Allen

Dwayne Allen's first season with Patriots starts on Thursday night

New England Patriots tight end Dwayne Allen is second on the depth chart ahead of Thursday night's Week 1 contest against the Kansas City Chiefs.

What It Means:

Allen was paired with a sixth-round pick and acquired from the Indianapolis Colts this offseason in March. As long as Rob Gronkowski is healthy, the 2012 third-round pick likely won't be much more than an occasional streaming option for fantasy owners this season.

numberFire's models project Allen to catch 1.5 passes for 18.8 yards and 0.18 touchdowns in Week 1 against the Chiefs. He's pegged for 3.7 FanDuel points at a cost of $5,000.
