Keenan Allen

Keenan Allen is the WR15 in fantasy points per game, ranking fourth in red zone targets among wide receivers. He has finished as a top 20 wide receiver in three of five games in weekly scoring. Allen has a 23.1% target share, 1.84 yards per route run, and a 24% first-read share. Miami has the sixth-highest two high rate (60.4%). Against two high, Allen has led the way with a 25.3% target share, 1.86 yards per route run, and a 27.3% first-read share (tied for the team lead). Allen also ranks second on the team in deep targets. Miami has allowed the highest deep ball completion rate and the sixth-highest passer rating downfield. Allen should crush this week against a secondary that has allowed the ninth-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Look for Herbert to lean on Allen this week with Quentin Johnston out.

Keenan Allen caught one of three targets for 17 yards in the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact

Allen joined fellow receiver Ladd McConkey in terms of disappointing performances that were expected to go a lot differently. After starting out hot, Allen has just one game over 50 receiving yards in his last nine. It's the twilight of his career, so it's not unexpected, but as with any veteran fantasy stalwart, it never makes it easier to witness.
