Allen caught six of nine targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-17 win over the Texans.
Allen was able to take advantage of the absence of Alec Pierce (heel) in Week 3, matching his season-high six receptions while notching his first touchdown of the year in the second quarter, reeling in a six-yard score from quarterback Daniel Jones. With Pierce set to miss extended time, Allen will have a chance to carve out a significant role for himself as a reliable option for Indianapolis.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The Colts need help at receiver with Alec Pierce (heel) expected to miss several weeks. Josh Downs and Tyler Warren will be the top targets in the passing game, and we'll see if Allen can step up as well. He's off to a slow start in two games with seven catches for 37 yards on 11 targets, and Darius Slayton (2 percent rostered) was signed Monday night, so we'll see what he does with the Colts. For now, you can add Allen in all leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB, but just keep an eye on his potential looming three-game suspension stemming from his August arrest on DUI charges. Slayton is worth adding in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Held to one catch in Week 2
Rotowire
Allen caught one of five targets for five yards in Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs.
Allen failed to capitalize on the first-half exit of fellow Colts WR Alec Pierce (heel). Dating back to last season with the Chargers, the 34-year-old Allen is mired in a 12-game regular-season touchdown drought, during which he has exceeded 44 receiving yards only once. Snapping that funk won't be easy in Week 3 against the Texans.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Facing league suspension
Rotowire
Allen "is facing a minimum three-game suspension" in connection with his August arrest, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Allen was formally charged with two misdemeanors last week after being arrested on DUI charges in late August, and the NFL could levy a suspension of three games or more for his actions. Per the report, "Allen is not expected to miss playing time while the case proceeds through the courts."

Colts' Keenan Allen: Formally facing charges
Rotowire
Allen has been formally charged with two misdemeanors related to his August arrest, Nathan Brown of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Allen was arrested in late August, and he has officially been charged with two counts, including "OVWI with a BAC of .15 or more." Per the same source, "The NFL's policy says an eight-game suspension could be levied with aggravating circumstances (including 'extreme intoxication' with a BAC of .15 or more)."

Colts' Keenan Allen: Team-high six grabs in Week 1
Rotowire
Allen caught all six of his targets for 32 yards in the Colts' 41-23 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Allen played 36 of 54 offensive snaps against Baltimore and ran 26 routes on Daniel Jones' 34 dropbacks. He ran six fewer routes than Josh Downs, but Allen's microscopic 3.7-yard average depth of target made him an easy pitch-and-catch option for the quarterback. Allen lacks explosiveness at this stage of his career, but he's always been able to earn targets. He's a low-floor fantasy option at 34 years old.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Will play in Week 1
Rotowire
Colts general manager Chris Ballard said Tuesday that Allen will play in Week 1 against the Ravens, Jake Arthur of Colts Roundtable reports.
Allen will not face discipline from the team following his arrest on DUI charges Sunday. "We should be good," said Ballard when asked about that Tuesday, and added that "Good people make mistakes. [Allen] is a tremendous human being... he'll work through the process of the legal system." It appears that Allen can now shift his focus to getting up to speed with the team in advance of the season opener Sept. 13 against the Ravens.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Arrested on DUI charges
Rotowire
Allen was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with DUI, FOX59 reports.
Per the report, Allen was arrested overnight in Indianapolis "on preliminary charges of (DWI) and DWI endangering a person." The Colts, via Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan, issued a statement saying, "We are aware of the incident involving Allen last night. We are in the process of gathering more information and have no further comment at this time."

Colts' Keenan Allen: Will make Colts debut Saturday
Rotowire
Allen will make his first appearance with the Colts in Saturday's preseason finale against the Lions, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Allen began practicing with the Colts a week ago, and he is now set to see action in a game setting for the first time since joining Indianapolis earlier this month. Fellow wideouts Alec Pierce (ankle) and Josh Downs (calf) are both banged up, but both have a chance to take the field in Week 1, so Allen will presumably open the regular season as the third option at the wideout spot for the Colts.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Makes practice debut Thursday
Rotowire
Allen made his Colts practice debut in Thursday's joint practice with the Falcons, Noah Compton of SI.com reports.
Allen wasn't expected to participate in team drills after signing earlier this week, but he took four reps in 11-on-11 work against Atlanta's defense. "He's been productive every single year he's been in the league. So obviously, we want him to be productive again this year," coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday. "He'll come in - obviously, he's been in this system. He'll pick it up quickly, but he'll play outside. He'll play inside. We'll move all our guys around." Allen is expected to be a mainstay in three-wide sets for Indianapolis and could even push Josh Downs out of two-wide sets once Alec Pierce (ankle) is ready to go. Should he emerge as a high-volume target in his new locale, Allen's addition has the potential to negatively affect all three of Pierce, Downs and Tyler Warren's fantasy impact.

Keenan Allen: Return to Chargers not ruled out
Rotowire
GM Joe Hortiz noted Thursday on the 'Up & Adams' show that the "door is not closed" regarding a possible return to the Chargers by Allen, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.
Allen, who caught 81 of his 122 targets for 777 yards and four TD in 17 regular-season games with Los Angeles in 2025, remains unsigned at this stage of the offseason. For now, Hortiz said that the Chargers are "in a spot where we're looking at the roster and letting (the team's) young guys get a chance. But I've had some communication with Keenan's representation and we've talked." As things stand, Tre' Harris, Brenen Thompson, KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Derius Davis are in line to compete for WR targets that don't go to Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Inefficient in wild-card loss
Rotowire
Allen had three receptions on eight targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 16-3 loss to the Patriots in the wild-card round.
Allen suffered a disappointing end to his return to the Chargers in 2025 when he finished Sunday's playoff loss with a catch rate below 50 percent. The 33-year-old wasn't on the same page with QB Justin Herbert like they were during the regular season when the duo connected on 66 percent of their attempts, resulting in a 81-777-4 receiving line for the veteran receiver. Allen will become an unrestricted free agent in 2026, so the future Hall of Famer will be in control of his destiny should he decide to return for a 14th season.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Leading receiver on 13 targets
Rotowire
Allen finished with seven receptions on 13 targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Broncos.
Allen was one of the few starters head coach Jim Harbaugh allowed to suit up for Sunday's regular-season finale against Denver. The 33-year-old Allen responded to last week's one-catch performance by leading his club in targets, receptions and yardage with backup QB Trey Lance under center. Allen produced solid PPR numbers in his return to the Chargers this season, accruing 81 receptions for 777 yards and four touchdowns across 17 games. Look for Allen to serve as a security blanket for QB Justin Herbert against the Patriots in the wild-card round of the playoffs next Sunday.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Limited by destructive defense
Rotowire
Allen caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in the 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles on Monday.
The veteran led all Charger wideouts in receiving yards Monday, as quarterback Justin Herbert was under constant duress and got sacked seven times. Los Angeles' offensive line issues make it difficult for any pass catcher to maintain consistent fantasy value week to week, and that will likely be a problem in Week 15 as well against a feisty Kansas City defense.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Sporadic usage in win
Rotowire
Allen caught four of his five targets for 30 yards in the 31-14 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Allen was his usual reliable self on third down, specifically in the first half, but the veteran was hardly needed as the Raiders offense continually stalled out. Justin Herbert fractured his left hand during the first half, an injury that will require surgery Monday. Head coach Jim Harbaugh and Herbert are hopeful the quarterback will be available in a critical Week 14 bout against the Eagles, but Allen's fantasy value arguably takes the biggest hit if the starting quarterback misses time. The 33-year-old has failed to see more than six targets in a game dating back to Week 8.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Sets franchise reception record
Rotowire
Allen had two receptions on five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over Pittsburgh.
It was another low-volume game from Allen following last week's two-catch performance, finishing with five or fewer targets for the third straight contest. The 19 receiving yards also marked a new single-game low in what has been a productive return to the club that drafted the veteran wideout back in 2013. The longtime Charger set a franchise record by surpassing Antonio Gates as the all-time leader in receptions with his 956th catch in 12 years with the club. Allen will attempt to ramp his production back up in a soft matchup against the Jaguars next Sunday.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: One long catch
Rotowire
Allen recorded two receptions on five targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.
Justin Herbert distributed targets evenly among his top pass catchers, as Allen tied for second on the team in targets with Oronde Gadsden and Quentin Johnston. Allen finished with the lowest yardage total of that group, with nearly all of his production coming on a 31-yard catch late in the first quarter. After a hot start to the season, Allen has now recorded 50 receiving yards or fewer in three of the last four games.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Allen has struggled of late with 10.8 PPR points or less in four of his past five games, but he continues to earn enough targets to trust him again as a No. 2 Fantasy receiver in the majority of leagues. Ladd McConkey should be considered the No. 1 Chargers receiver, and I would still start Quentin Johnston in three-receiver leagues. Oronde Gadsden II has become a significant factor as well, but Allen has at least seven targets in all but one game this year. Five receivers have got at least seven targets against the Titans this year, and all five have scored at least 13.9 PPR points. I'm expecting Allen to perform well in this matchup on the road.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Finishes with four catches Thursday
Rotowire
Allen brought in four of five targets for 44 yards in the Chargers' 37-10 win over the Vikings on Thursday night.
Ladd McConkey and Oronde Gadsden posted a combined 11-165-2 line, which rendered Allen a clear tertiary component of the air attack on the night. Nevertheless, the veteran receiver continued to offer serviceable real-world and fantasy production -- all of his receptions Thursday resulted in first downs -- and he extended his season-opening streak of games with at least four receptions to eight contests overall. Allen will take a 48-479-4 line on 70 targets into a Week 9 road matchup against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Season-best numbers in Week 7 loss
Rotowire
Allen caught 11 of 14 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts.
The targets, catches and yards were all season highs for the veteran wideout, who was Justin Herbert's most reliable option in the second half as the Chargers tried to mount a comeback from a 23-3 halftime deficit. Allen snapped a three-game scoring drought with the performance, and he'll carry a 44-435-4 line on 65 targets through seven contests into a Week 8 clash with a Vikings secondary that just surrendered a combined 13-304-3 line to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
