Keenan Allen Week 16 Outlook - Chiefs at Bears

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 19th 2019, 2:17pm EST

After a brutal stretch that had some questioning whether Allen was startable, he's returned to the same player you thought you were getting when you drafted him. He's now totaled at least five receptions and 68 yards in each of the last five games. The matchup with the Raiders netted eight catches for 68 yards back in Week 10, though it took 11 targets to get there. While the Raiders were a slot machine to slot receivers earlier in the year, here's a list of the recent ones they've played: Dede Westbrook 2/14/0, Sammy Watkins 0/0/0, Jamison Crowder 2/18/0, and Tyler Boyd 1/0/0. While none of them are on Allen's level, even those receivers would've crushed this matchup earlier in the year. With the way Allen has played lately, he should be in lineups as a high-end WR2, but the matchup in the slot isn't as good as it is on the perimeter, which is why there are better options in DFS cash games.
