Allen posted 42 in R7, below his 45 BE at $308.4k with negative cash gen of -$391/rd. A T4 community report flagged a Q4 hamstring scare but the club cleared him post-game. His scoring pattern of 26, 0, 67, 39, 76, 42 shows no structural consistency and he keeps failing to beat breakeven across the majority of rounds. Avoid — the cash gen case does not exist and the injury flag adds further downside risk.
