LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Chicago Bears

Keenan Allen managed just four receptions for 55 yards in Week 7, giving him 14 grabs combined in the three games since he caught 18 balls against the Vikings in Week 3. Allen managed to tot up 7.5 Half-PPR points, finishing as the WR41. This is a long way off from his seasonal rank of WR2 with an 18.5 points per game average.

The Bears, who the Chargers play in Week 8, have actually been slightly less generous against wide receivers than other positions in 2023. They rank 16th in aFPA to the wideouts, compared to 30th against RBs and 20th versus tight ends. Still, Allen has been a hard man to keep down for the bulk of the season, and it is safe to project a mid-tier WR1 outing from him this week.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Kansas City Chiefs

Keenan Allen's strong start to the 2023 season continued in Week 6 against the Cowboys. Allen saw 11 targets, his third double-digit game of the year, and caught seven of them for 85 yards and a touchdown. Allen finished with 18.0 Half-PPR points, good for a WR5 outing in Week 6, and is averaging more points per game (20.7) than any wide receiver not named Tyreek Hill this season.

It's not a great matchup on paper, with the Chiefs ranking seventh in aFPA to wide receivers this season. But if Allen sees anything approaching his season average of 11 targets, then he can certainly make some fantasy noise once again. He should continue to be viewed as an elite WR1 option until further notice.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Tyreek Hill is the only wide receiver averaging more fantasy points per game than Keenan Allen after five weeks of football. The wily veteran is averaging career-highs with 8.8 receptions and 108.5 receiving yards per game after four outings, along with a whopping 21.4 Half PPR points per game.

Allen faces a stiff test of his fantasy point-scoring abilities in Week 6 with a clash against the Cowboys. Wide receivers have not enjoyed much success against the Cowboys in 2023, with Dan Quinn's charges ranking 9th in aFPA to the position. Still, volume trumps all, and if Allen sees his normal allocation of targets he should still be able to deliver at a high-end WR1 level.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Keenan Allen enjoyed a career day against the Vikings in Week 3, earning him overall WR1 numbers for the week. Allen caught 18 of his 20 targets for 215 yards, all career highs, on his way to 36.5 Half PPR points. He also attempted his first pass since 2021, with Mike Williams grabbing it for a 49-yard touchdown. Allen is the WR2 in fantasy points per game in 2023 after three weeks.

The Raiders have been better against wide receivers than other positions so far this season, and rank 11th in aFPA to wideouts. But Allen is an absolute target monster so far this season, and with Mike Williams lost for the tear and Austin Ekeler still sidelined, he projects for another huge workload in Week 4. He's a top-end WR1 projection this week.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Minnesota Vikings

Keenan Allen rolled back the years with a fantasy day to remember against the Titans in Week 2. The wily vet corralled eight of ten targets for 111 yards with two touchdowns on his way to 27.1 Half PPR points and an overall WR1 finish. Allen is the WR5 after two weeks of the season.

The good times should continue to roll for Allen against a woefully undermanned Vikings defense in Week 3. Another top-12 outing should be on the cards in a game that should see the scoreboard well and truly lit up.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Tennessee Titans

Keenan Allen served as the focal point of the Chargers passing attack in Week 1, leading the team with a 29% target share. Allen converted his nine targets into six receptions for 76 yards, earning 11.2 Half-PPR points along the way. These points saw Allen finish the week as the WR25.

The Titans are one of the league's premier pass funnel defenses, standing up much better against the run than through the air. The Chargers will hopefully lean more toward a pass-heavy approach after a 50:50 pass-to-run ratio a week ago, which will be great news for Allen. He projects as a low-end WR1 this week.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs Miami Dolphins

Keenan Allen missed a good chunk of the 2022 season, playing in just 10 games. He caught 66 passes for 752 yards and four touchdowns, setting a four-season high with an 8.4 yards per target average. Allen averaged 11.6 Half-PPR points per game, good for WR20 in per-game scoring in that format.

Allen has a fairly middle-of-the-road matchup to get his season underway, with the 2022 Dolphins ranking 15th in aFPA to wide receivers. Allen should be in the WR1 conversation, but his days of truly elite fantasy production are probably behind him. He won't let you down, but you should temper your expectations a bit.
