2023 Fantasy Outlook
Allen finished the 2022 regular season with 57 tackles (35 solo), seven sacks, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 17 games, and he added 11 tackles and a sack in Jacksonville's two playoff contests. The 25-year-old posted 10.5 sacks during his rookie campaign in 2019 but has failed to reach double-digit sacks in the past three seasons, and he's now entering the final year of his rookie contract with the Jaguars, making this a pivotal campaign for him.

Officially gets franchise tag
The Jaguars have officially placed their franchise tag on Allen ahead of Tuesday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline.
ANALYSIS
Allen receiving the franchise tag has been long expected, and is now official. The 2019 first-round pick is coming off a true breakout campaign, with a career-high 17.5 sacks in 2023, to go with 66 tackles (43 solo), one interception and two forced fumbles. He and Jacksonville still have until mid-July to negotiate a long-term deal, but if Allen believes he can replicate similar production in the 2024 season, he may be comfortable betting on himself with the hopes of hitting the open market next offseason as a true star at one of the NFL's most sought-after positions.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Candidate for franchise tag
The Jaguars could use the franchise tag on Allen, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Allen had a well-timed breakout season in 2023 -- he posted 17.5 sacks while also forcing two fumbles -- as he is set to hit free agency for the first time in his career. The Jaguars reportedly are set on keeping him on the team, with the primary question being whether the two sides can reach a long-term deal. The team also plans to keep Calvin Ridley on the roster, another free agent, but only one could be given the franchise tag.

2022
2021
2020
Allen struggled in 2020 with only 13 tackles and 2.5 sacks in eight games, but he bounced back last season and recorded 71 tackles and 7.5 sacks. The 24-year-old was often a focal point of offensive protection schemes, so his production didn't necessarily match his level of play. Jacksonville added defensive talent through both the draft and free agency, so Allen could be a bit more freed up while rushing the passer in 2022.
