Allen served as a backup quarterback in the preseason context, contributing to the Titans’ evaluation slate behind Ward. His role was ancillary, but his presence is part of Tennessee’s broader depth-testing approach, shaping how the team weighs backup options as they approach the regular season.

Allen steadied the Titans after Ward’s early miscue, guiding a late go-ahead drive. His calm, efficient relief suggests he can operate Tennessee’s reserve unit if needed, though his floor and ceiling remain higher in theory than in practice for Week 1 fantasy.

Allen’s preseason performance included an interception, highlighting a momentary hiccup in Tennessee’s Week 2 win. His role as backup quarterback adds an important layer to the Titans’ depth chart; if starter-level reps are needed, Allen’s turnover risk could temper late-game fantasy upside for Titans pass-catchers during extended play.

Allen’s time at quarterback for the Titans in the preseason provided a barometer for depth behind Tannehill. The night wasn’t transformative, but it offered a glimpse of the competition at QB and the consistency Titans coaches seek from backups, with the Falcons forcing a contested night for him.

Allen’s late-night drive with a 4th-and-2 from the 2-yard line ended in a bumbled turnover on downs after a misleading headset hiccup and a call Callahan would take back. He finished 6-for-12 for 62 yards with an interception on a tipped pass, illustrating a shaky, uninspiring showing behind Ward.
