Keenan Allen Week 12 Outlook - Bears at Packers

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Nov 25th 2020, 7:43pm EST

If we were to pretend the Week 1 game with Tyrod Taylor never happened, Allen's 16-game pace with Herbert would be 185 targets, 137 receptions, 1,419 yards, and 11 touchdowns. Yeah, I know. Allen hasn't topped six touchdowns in a season since back in 2013, yet he has six of them with Herbert through eight and a half games together. The Bills matchup used to be one we were worried about for pass catchers. And knowing Allen is the top receiver, the matchup against Tre'Davious White may seem like a daunting task, but he's allowed 2.48 PPR points per target, which ranks as the ninth-most among 123 cornerbacks who've played 100-plus snaps in coverage. On top of that, Allen spends nearly half the time in the slot, which is not somewhere White goes. When Allen goes there, he'll see Taron Johnson, who's allowed a 101.8 QB Rating in his coverage. There's no matchup that would cause you to consider benching Allen, and this matchup isn't anything to be concerned with for a guy who's seeing 10-plus targets practically every game.
