LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs Kansas City Chiefs

For just the third time this season, the Chargers look set to include Keenan Allen in their game day lineup. Allen has seen just six targets all season, but has caught them all for 77 yards.

It’s a fairly friendly matchup for Allen’s return. The Chiefs rank 28th in aPFA to wide receivers, and in his career Allen averages more than six catches and 72 yards per game against them. He’s a mid range WR2 if he’s healthy. But it’s quite a big if.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs Seattle Seahawks

Keenan Allen looks set to return to action for the Chargers for the first time since he left Week 1 after just 22 snaps.

If Allen does return, he faces a tricky game against the Seahawks, As bad as they've been on the ground, they rank third in aFPA to wide receivers this season. Allen should be viewed as a low-end WR2 in his first action for six weeks.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Houston Texans

Keenan Allen is set to return to the Chargers lineup for Week 4. Allen left the Week 1 win over the Raiders and missed Weeks 2 and 3. He caught four of four targets for 66 yards in Week 1 on just 22 offensive snaps. Allen should be able to provide Justin Herbert with a safety valve he has sadly lacked over the last two games.

The Texans are ranked 24th in aFPA to wide receivers through the first three weeks of the season. Still, the shaky nature of the Chargers' current passing game makes Allen an extremely low-ceiling option. He should be viewed as a low-end WR3 this week.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Keenan Allen missed the game against the Chiefs in Week 2 after suffering a hamstring injury in the season opener. He caught all four of his targets for 66 yards despite only playing 22 snaps against the Raiders. It was clear that he was still the apple of his quarterback's eye, and would continue to command targets even with the other pass-catching options the Chargers possess.

Allen looks like he could be good to return this week, and as such his presence should affect the ceiling of both Mike Williams and Josh Palmer.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Keenan Allen was reliable, if not spectacular, as a fantasy performer in 2021, finishing as the WR14 in Half-PPR formats for the second straight year. Allen went over 1,100 receiving yards for the fourth time in five seasons while catching a career-high 106 passes. He only posted four weeks as a WR1 however, and only found the end zone six times. He has six touchdown scores exactly in four of the last five seasons.

The fantasy wide receivers didn't have it all their own way against the Raiders in 2021, only averaging 24.8 Half PPR points per game against them. This was the fifth lowest across the entire league. We have Allen projected to finish as a mid-tier WR2 in Week 1.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - 2022 Fantasy Football Outlook

2022 Fantasy Upside
As Pro Football Network put it, "Are you a fan of consistency? What about route-running savants who specialize in mid-phase separation? Perhaps a dash of age-adjusted value and a side helping of over a 25 percent target share from an elite quarterback? If you answered 'yes,' Keenan Allen is still your cup of tea." It's a fair assessment. Since 2017, Allen has averaged 102 catches for 1,184 yards and just over six touchdowns. He's also played in 78 of 81 regular-season games during that time span. He has at least 135 targets in five straight years, with four seasons of 100 or more receptions and at least 1,100 receiving yards. In those campaigns, Allen has recorded 26 percent of the team targets and 47 percent of the team's wide receiver targets. This past season, Allen broke the franchise's single-season receptions record -- which had already belonged to him -- with 106. He did that last season even with fellow starter Mike Williams setting a single-season career high with 1,146 receiving yards.

2022 Fantasy Downside
According to 4for4's John Paulsen, "The only real concern is his age (30), but Allen is good enough to continue to produce into his mid-30s."

2022 Bottom Line
Remember: Williams and Allen both went over 1,000 yards in a season for the second time together last year. The first was in 2019. Williams finished ninth in the NFL in receiving touchdowns (9) and 11th in yards per reception (15.1). With Justin Herbert’s emergence as an elite producer at quarterback, Allen will still be in line for his 130 targets, 100 receptions, 1,000 yards and six touchdowns even if Williams gains ground.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Broncos

In what was overall a bad game for the Chargers in Week 16, Keenan Allen endured his least productive game of the 2021 season. Allen was targeted just six times, his second-fewest in a game this year, tied a season-low with four receptions and posted just 35 yards. Allen scored 5.5 half-PPR points, his lowest this season and lowest since he scored 2.1 in Week 16 of the 2020 season. Still, Allen is the WR11 overall in 2021.

It'll be tough for Allen to bounce back this week against the Broncos, given how stingy they have been to fantasy wide receivers in 2021. The Broncos rank 5th in aFPA to fantasy wideouts. Treat Allen as a high-end WR2 this week, based on his target share hopefully jumping back to where it usually is.
