Davis Allen Expected to Return "Within the Next Week"

Tuesday, August 18, 6:00 PM

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that tight end Davis Allen (quadriceps) is expected to return to practice "within the next week," per Stu Jackson of therams.com. Jackson also reports that Allen is expected to be ready for Week 1. Across 17 games with Los Angeles in 2025, Allen recorded 24 catches for 208 yards and three touchdowns on 33 targets. While he's unlikely to provide fantasy-relevant production himself, Allen's presence further complicates the Rams' crowded tight end room for fantasy managers. In addition to Allen, Los Angeles has veterans Colby Parkinson and Tyler Higbee, 2025 second-round pick Terrance Ferguson, and 2026 second-round pick Max Klare as other tight ends on its roster. While the Rams use multiple tight end personnel groupings at one of the highest rates in the league, their depth at the position makes it hard for fantasy managers to rely on any one tight end in Los Angeles for consistent production.

Michael Trigg Peppered with Five Targets in NFL Preseason Debut

Saturday, August 15, 7:40 PM

Dallas Cowboys tight end Michael Trigg caught four of his five targets for 30 yards during Saturday's preseason win over the Seattle Seahawks. At 24 years old, Trigg is on the older side for a prospect, which might be why he went undrafted despite having 694 yards and six touchdowns at Baylor last season. Nevertheless, he's already turning heads in the NFL after a productive, high-volume showing in the Cowboys' preseason opener. There's no question that Jake Ferguson has the No. 1 tight end job all locked up in Dallas, but we wouldn't be shocked to see Trigg push for the No. 2 role ahead of Luke Schoonmaker, despite his undrafted status. If Trigg continues to play well, he could be in the mix for a fantasy-relevant workload in the event of an injury to Ferguson.
