Keenan Allen

Keenan Allen's production has fallen off the table since Week 7. He hasn't had more than 9.3 PPR points or 53 receiving yards in any game since. Since Week 12, Houston has utilized single high at the second-highest rate (63%). Since Week 8, against single high, Allen has had only a 16.8% target share with 1.53 yards per route run and a team-leading 23.2% first-read share. Justin Herbert could look his way early and often in this game, but it's fair to question how effective Allen will be. Allen is a low-end flex play only. Since Week 10, Houston has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game and the fifth-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

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.
