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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
First '21 start on tap
Allen, who started the Bengals' final five games of 2020 when Joe Burrow was sidelined with a knee injury, is now slated to serve as the top quarterback for Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Browns, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Allen was serviceable in those five games last season, garnering some valuable experience while throwing for 925 yards with five touchdowns and four interceptions . The 2016 sixth-round pick will now have a chance to see extended action for the first time in 2021, as Burrow will be rested ahead of the postseason due to knee and pinkie injuries. Allen will likely have to operate without top running back Joe Mixon, as the latter was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday and isn't expected to play Sunday.
