The Facts: Father Time inevitably slows down everyone. The soon-to-be-27-year-old Allen already realizes this, having admitted that he'll likely have to soften his hard-charging playing style as he enters his sixth NFL season. "It sounds crazy, but I'm getting older," Allen said Tuesday. "I know I can't continue to do this. I know when I'm using my youth, I feel like I can, but over the course of my career I'm going to have to learn to adapt and change."

Diehards Line: One of the preeminent quarterbacks in the game, Allen is also a dual threat whose rushing style sees him scramble as much as rumble. He's run for at least 421 yards each season and since he carried the ball 89 times in 12 games during his rookie season, Allen has racked up at least 102 carries for four seasons running. Durable even with his rough-and-tumble style, Allen knows his body can only take so much punishment as his body ages and the seasons -- and hits -- pile up. Thusly, Allen believes he must make playing quarterback paramount as opposed to being an overall offensive threat. "I've always had the mindset of, I've been a football player first and a quarterback second," Allen said. "At some point that is going to have to switch. When that point is, I don't know. I guess I'll let my body tell me. ..." So far, there's no sign his body is telling him to slow down. Even when it does, it's not out of the question to believe Allen will evolve into a more dangerous passer. For now, however, fantasy managers still view him as one of this year's top assets at his position.
