CHI WR Keenan Allen - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Keenan Allen was a wash in his first game back from the injury list and now has only 81 yards on 20 targets. He's still a viable option in PPR leagues, as another full week of practice should benefit his connection with Caleb Williams. Consider him a WR4/desperation Flex in Week 6.

CHI WR Keenan Allen - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 @ Houston Texans
Keenan Allen might be aging up to and through the WR age curve, but he still looks great when he's on the field. The team clearly has long-term visions of Williams and Odunze growing together, but Allen could go a long way in furthering the rookie quarterback in Year 1. Allen's years as a WR1 in fantasy are behind him, but if this offense has a nice bounce-back Week 2 against an easier defense, Allen could easily be a top-30 option.

CHI WR Keenan Allen - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Tennessee Titans
Allen might be aging up to and throwing the WR age curve, but he still looks great when he's on the field. The team clearly has long-term visions of Williams and Odunze growing together, but Allen could go a long way in furthering the rookie quarterback in Year 1. Allen's years as a WR1 in fantasy are behind him, but if this offense is cooking the way it looks like it could, he could easily be a top-30 Week 1 option.

CHI WR Keenan Allen - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Keenan Allen has eclipsed 95 receptions in all but one of his last seven seasons while averaging 1,130 yards. He offers rookie QB Caleb Williams a consistent target over the middle of the field in the short-to-intermediate areas and profiles as the leading target earner in Chicago.

Fantasy Downside
Allen is one of the best move-the-chains options in the NFL, consistently getting himself open and becoming his quarterback's best friend. When he's on the field. Allen is heading into his age-32 season and has missed 11 games over the last two seasons while gathering a multitude of cuts and bruises. While he's projected into 2-WR sets from the onset, if he were to miss extended playing time, the team might be forced to see what the combination of D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze will look like, with an eye on the future.

2024 Bottom Line
Allen might be aging up to and throwing the WR age curve, but he still looks great when he's on the field. The team clearly has long-term visions of Williams and Odunze growing together, but Allen could go a long way in furthering the rookie quarterback in Year 1. Allen's years as a WR1 in fantasy are behind him, but if this offense is cooking the way it looks like it could, he could easily be a top-24 option with a discounted price tag.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Las Vegas Raiders

Keenan Allen had one of his quieter games of the season in Week 14, hampered by the loss of Justin Herbert and his own ankle injury. Allen caught six of his 12 targets for 68 scoreless yards on his way to a mere 9.8 Half-PPR points, finishing as the WR22 for the week. This was a long way off his 17.3 points per game average this season, a tally good for WR3.

Allen did not practice in the early part of the week ahead of the Chargers clash with the Raiders. Assuming he does suit up, playing without Herbert puts a serious dent into his fantasy prospects. Allen looks more like a low-end WR2 this week, thanks to Easton Stick and a Raiders defense that ranks eighth in aFPA to wide receivers.

Update: Allen has been declared out, so be sure to get him out of lineups.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Denver Broncos

The general offensive malaise that gripped the Chargers Week 13 game even affected the usually solidly reliable Keenan Allen. Allen caught five of his nine targets for 58 scoreless yards on his way to 8.3 Half-PPR points. His season average is 17.9, and his seasonal points per game rank of WR4 is 32 spots ahead of where he finished last week.

The Broncos have been more welcoming to fantasy running backs than wide receivers this season, ranking 23rd in aFPA to backs and fourth to wideouts. But Allen's weekly floor keeps him fantasy-relevant in even the toughest matchups, assuming last week was a team-wide blip. He's a safe WR1 this week.
