Zach Allen: hamstring exit, says he will be fine

THE FACT. Broncos defensive tackle Zach Allen left late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 30-16 win over Arizona with a hamstring injury, stayed on the sideline for the rest of the game and told reporters he will be fine, per NBC Sports' Josh Alper. Allen finished with three tackles and three quarterback hits and entered the day with 21 tackles, 4.5 sacks and a forced fumble on the season.
THE VERDICT. IDP: hold. A player who walks off under his own power and declares himself fine is not a drop, and 4.5 sacks from the interior makes Allen an every-week starter in tackle-plus-sack formats. Redraft: no action in standard leagues. DFS: wait for Wednesday's practice report before paying up for the Denver defensive line against Kansas City. Hamstrings linger, so check the Thursday designation before locking him in.
