Who Should I Start? Kazmeir Allen or Tayvion Robinson

Thursday, August 22, 10:44 PM

The Washington Commanders started working wide receiver Kazmeir Allen in at running back at training camp last week, and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury mentioned to reporters that Allen's "explosive" traits remind him of a Deebo Samuel-type player. The Commanders are looking for a way to keep Allen as they head into the 2024 regular season. The 24-year-old went undrafted last year out of UCLA and spent most of 2023 on Washington's practice squad. He's still well off the fantasy radar in all formats, but Allen is a name to file away, especially after the Commanders traded Jahan Dotson to the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday. Washington is looking for young players to step up on offense, but it remains to be seen if Allen will be one of those guys. During the preseason, he has four carries for 15 yards and a fumble while also catching one pass for a 12-yard gain.

The Baltimore Ravens released wide receiver Tayvion Robinson, the organization announced on X on Wednesday. Robinson went unselected in April's 2024 NFL Draft after three seasons at Virginia Tech and two years at Kentucky. Overall, he tallied 194 receptions for 2,604 yards and 16 touchdowns to go along with 39 rushes for 277 yards in 60 collegiate games. It looks like his chances to make Baltimore's 53-man roster have come to an end, but there could be other organizations interested in giving him an opportunity heading into training camp.
