Keenan Allen

Keenan Allen has been awesome this season as the WR12 in fantasy points per game. He has a 26.2% target share, 2.26 yards per route run (64.5 receiving yards per game), two red zone targets (tied for the team lead), and a 24.4% first-read share. He has a tough test in Week 3 against the Broncos. This week, the Bolts face a Denver secondary that has utilized single high at the fifth-highest rate (62.5%) and man coverage at the second-highest rate (45.8%). Against single high, Allen is second on the team in target per route run rate (24%), yards per route run (1.97), and first-read share (19.2%). Against man coverage, it's a similar story as he is second in target per route run rate (36%), yards per route run (1.73), and first-read share (33.3%). Allen will float between the slot and the perimeter, but he doesn't have any easy matchups regardless of where he lines up this week. Denver has allowed the fifth-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers and the seventh-fewest PPR points per target to slot receivers. Allen should still see enough volume to overcome the tough matchups. Justin Herbert could lean on Allen if Quentin Johnston gets shadowed by Patrick Surtain.

Keenan Allen caught three passes for 22 yards in Monday night's 22-19 OT win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran did not have a strong stat line on Monday night. He led the team in receptions with just three on the night, and that only led to him racking up 22 scoreless yards. He will continue to be an unreliable fantasy option on a week-to-week basis for the time being.
