Keenan Allen Week 11 Outlook -

Keenan Allen (WR - CHI)

We're now eight games into Herbert's career (half of a season), and over that time, Allen is the No. 5 wide receiver in fantasy football, which includes a game where he had to leave before halftime. He saw "just" seven targets in Week 10, which was his season-low in the full games he's played. He's now going out to play a Jets team that's allowed six wide receivers to finish with 22-plus PPR points and as the WR11 or better. The toughest matchup against them is in the slot, so it's good news that Allen has played just 46.5 percent of his snaps there. It's not like he can't beat Brian Poole, but it's easier to beat Pierre Desir and Blessuan Austin on the perimeter. Allen should see Austin more, who's been the better of the two, though he's still allowed a 99.8 QB Rating in his coverage. Look, when you have a receiver who's averaging 10.3 targets per game going against a secondary that's allowed a 7.17 percent catch-rate and 9.34 yards per target, you're starting him as a WR1, period.
