2023 Fantasy Outlook
The 49ers' quarterback situation was mangled by injury in 2022, so the team brought in Sam Darnold and Allen to add veteran depth to the young position group. The latter comes in at fourth on the pecking order, giving him a slim chance to make the cut come Week 1. A sixth-round pick with Jacksonville in 2016, Allen has seen action as a backup with Denver and Cincinnati, completing 56.7 percent of his passes and 10 touchdowns to six interceptions over that span.

Remains inactive Sunday
Allen (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
The journeyman signal-caller will be relegated to the No. 3 quarterback role for the second time to open the season, as expected. Sam Darnold will continue to serve as Brock Purdy's primary backup against Los Angeles.

Ryan Pohle analyzes the final Week 1 DFS Preseason slate, headlined by second-year running back Jordan Mason of the 49ers.

Perhaps the only question mark in a 49ers offense led by RB Christian McCaffrey, WRs Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk and TE George Kittle is quarterback. Brock Purdy will attempt to repeat his success from 2022.

With Joe Burrow's extension looming, the Bengals' window to compete with a QB on a rookie contract is coming to a close. Still, they're among the AFC favorites due to Burrow and a bevy of skill-position talent.

Usually when Allen enters the game, it's bad news for the Bengals, as it signals an injury to starter Joe Burrow. Luckily last season, only one of Allen's six appearances was due to that reason - the waning seconds of the regular season win over the Chiefs. Allen had one start when the Bengals rested Burrow in Week 18, and four other mop-up appearances, three with a prohibitive lead. He'll hopefully fill the same role again this year.
