| Mike Tagliere FantasyPros | The final stat line for Allen may look good for fantasy owners, but he had a rough game against the Redskins last week. He was sacked seven times, completed just 58.7 percent of his passes, and fumbled twice (losing one). He's now fumbled an absurd 10 times this year. Ever since the Falcons bye week, they've seemingly been a different team. They've had some tough competition (Drew Brees twice, Jameis Winston, Allen), but have allowed just 99-of-153 passing for 1,109 yards (277.3 per game), four touchdowns (1.0 per game), and six interceptions (1.5 per game). Allen's performance was the worst of the bunch, as he threw for 325 yards, no touchdowns, and four interceptions. It's odd to think they turned a corner, but it appears they have. They'll also have had a full 10 days to prepare for this game after playing on Thanksgiving Day. The only plus for Allen is that the Falcons failed to generate a sack in each of the last two games after sacking him five times in Week 11. It's not like Allen has shown enough of a ceiling where you need to take the risk to play him as anything more than a low-end QB2. | The Chargers put the whispers out that they would consider benching Rivers if his poor play continued. He responded by completing 20-of-29 passes for 265 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception against the tough Broncos defense, though it wasn't enough to win. He's apparently on a short leash, though the Chargers shouldn't be relying on him very much this week. The Jaguars have allowed multiple passing touchdowns in just 5-of-12 games this year and have allowed just three quarterbacks to hit 8.0 or more yards per attempt. All-in-all, there've been just four top-12 quarterback performances against them this season. The 7.66 yards per attempt and 4.18 percent touchdown-rate indicate it requires volume to get it done against them, something Rivers hasn't had much of lately. He's thrown 31 or less attempts in four of the last five games. Anytime you hear the word "benched" being thrown around with a quarterback, you probably shouldn't be playing him in the fantasy playoffs. Knowing he's playing the team that's allowed the 11th-fewest points through the air to quarterbacks makes him just a low-end QB2 this week. |
| Zach Brunner FantasyPros | With the Panthers struggling overall, this has created a game script for Kyle Allen to see some garbage time, helping his fantasy value recently. However, this is likely a close game. He put up a stinker against them earlier this season, and Allen looks to be without the veteran Greg Olsen this week as a security blanket out there. Avoid Kyle Allen, on the road, under a new head coach. | |
