Chargers' Keenan Allen: Leading receiver on nine targets
Rotowire
Allen brought in five of nine targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to Washington.
Allen finished as the Chargers' leading receiver in an overall forgettable offensive performance, resulting in middling fantasy numbers for managers Sunday. The veteran starter failed to hit pay dirt for the second week in a row after kicking off the campaign with a three-game scoring streak. Allen is still providing a solid fantasy floor by averaging 8.8 targets/game in his return to the Chargers, making him a safe option for next Sunday's tilt against Miami.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Five grabs in Week 4 loss
Rotowire
Allen caught five of seven targets for 37 yards in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.
The veteran wideout failed to haul in at least 60 yards for the first time this season and saw his TD streak end at three games, but Allen still racked up at least five receptions for the fourth straight week to begin his reunion with the Chargers. He'll take a 24-231-3 line on 35 targets into Week 5's clash with a vulnerable Commanders secondary.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: WRs to Start
Rotowire
All three Chargers receivers are worth starting this week against the Giants, and you can consider Allen, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston as No. 2 Fantasy options in all leagues. The Giants are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and five guys have scored at least 15.3 PPR points this season. Allen is off to a great start in his return to the Chargers with at least 17.1 PPR points in all three games this year, and he's averaging 9.3 targets per game. Johnston is right behind Allen in terms of production, and he has scored at least 14.9 PPR points in each outing. He's averaging 8.0 targets per game and has been among the best surprises this season for Fantasy managers at any position. McConkey, so far, has been among the biggest disappointments with two games under 10 PPR points in a row, but I still have him ranked the highest, even though he's averaging 7.0 targets per game. Hopefully, this is the game he goes off, but all three are worth trusting in the majority of leagues, given the matchup.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Scores yet again
Rotowire
Allen caught seven of his 11 targets for 65 yards and the game-tying touchdown in the 23-20 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Allen made a terrific adjustment on a broken play in the fourth quarter, jumping through the defender to snare a 20-yard touchdown that tied the game. If it wasn't clear through the first two weeks, it's obvious now that the veteran is clearly Justin Herbert's preferred target -- especially when a play breaks down -- and the duo's uncanny connection has only become more potent with the emergence of Quentin Johnston (six catches on 10 targets for 89 yards) alongside the reliable Ladd McConkey. Allen has now led the team in targets for three straight weeks and continues to be a key piece of dominant offense.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Two straight weeks with TDs
Rotowire
Allen caught five of his team-leading seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the 20-9 win over the Raiders on Monday.
Allen continues to be Mr. Reliable for Justin Herbert, capitalizing on a nifty bit of scrambling by the quarterback in the second quarter to toe tap in the back of the end zone for another touchdown in as many weeks. While the veteran may have lost a shade of elusiveness after the catch, Allen's crafty route running is turning into the ultimate safety blanket and has arguably cut into Ladd McConkey's (five catches on five targets for 48 yards) seemingly airtight projected volume to kickstart the 2025 campaign.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Week 2 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
I know younger wide receivers are more exciting, but Allen still commands targets and has a great rapport with Justin Herbert. He led the Chargers in target share and targets per route run while catching 70% of his targets. He also doesn't have an expiration date, unlike Marquise Brown. Allen should be a solid WR3 with weekly WR1 upside for as long as he stays healthy.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Week 2 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Allen looked great in Week 1 against the Chiefs in Brazil with seven catches for 68 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. He didn't look like a 33-year-old receiver, and he showed a strong rapport once again with Justin Herbert. I hope there's enough targets for Allen, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston on a weekly basis, but Allen should remain involved with Herbert, making him a borderline starter in all three-receiver leagues moving forward. He's worth adding for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Balls out like he never left
Rotowire
Allen finished with seven receptions (on 10 targets) for 68 yards and a touchdown in Friday's 27-21 win over the Chiefs.
Signed exactly one month ago, Allen hopped into the Chargers' starting lineup and balled like he never departed for Chicago last season. The 33-year-old wound up leading Los Angeles in targets (10) and receptions (seven) while securing his 60th touchdown as a member of the Chargers. Allen's fantasy value in drafts matched his free-agent appeal up until Friday's renaissance, but the veteran is definitely worth consideration against the Raiders next Monday.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Headed back to Los Angeles
Rotowire
Allen and the Chargers agreed on a one-year, $8.52 million contract Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Allen is headed back to the team he spent the first 11 seasons of his career with from 2013 through 2023. The 33-year-old suited up for the Bears in 2024, catching 70 of 121 targets for 744 yards and seven touchdowns over 15 regular-season games. Allen now will reunite with quarterback Justin Herbert after recording 108 catches for 1,243 yards and seven scores in their most recent campaign together in 2023. The wide receiver probably won't see that kind of volume in his return to Los Angeles however, as Ladd McConkey (undisclosed) is the clear No. 1 for the Chargers, and the team invested a second-round pick in the 2025 Draft in Mississippi standout Tre Harris.

Bears' Keenan Allen: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Allen is closing the season strong, and he should remain a starter in all leagues in Week 17 against the Seahawks. He had nine catches for 141 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets in Week 16 against Detroit, and he has now scored at least 20.2 PPR points in four of his past five games. He has at least eight targets in four of his past five games, and Caleb Williams should continue to lean on Allen against Seattle. The Seahawks have allowed five receivers to score at least 13.7 PPR points in their past five games, with seven touchdowns over that span, and Allen and D.J. Moore are both worth trusting in this matchup.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Another impressive effort in loss
Rotowire
Allen secured nine of 13 targets for 141 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 34-17 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Allen led the Bears across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets while tying his season best in catches and setting a new high-water mark in yardage. The veteran wideout also scored his fifth touchdown in the last five games on a perfectly timed throw-and-catch sequence between him and Caleb Williams that covered 45 yards late in the second quarter. Allen now has at least five receptions and 73 receiving yards in four of the last five games, his most productive stretch of the season as a Week 17 home matchup against the Seahawks awaits Thursday night.

Bears' Keenan Allen: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Allen is hot coming into Week 16 against Detroit, and hopefully, he can beat up on the Lions like he did in Week 13. Allen had five catches for 73 yards and two touchdowns against Detroit on Thanksgiving, and that's one of three games with at least 20.2 PPR points in his past four outings. The Lions are No. 7 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Allen and D.J. Moore should be considered the No. 2 Fantasy options in all leagues in Week 16. Moore has scored at least 15 PPR points in three of his past four games, and he had 23.7 PPR points against the Lions in Week 13.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Vintage performance Monday
Rotowire
Allen had six receptions (on 13 targets) for 82 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 30-12 loss to Minnesota.
Allen bounced back from last week's dud against the 49ers (3-30-0) with a performance against the Vikings that was reminiscent of his dominant days with the Chargers. After a terribly slow start to the season, the veteran wideout has posted a 23-271-4 receiving line over his last four contests. Allen will attempt to keep his recent string of hot play going Week 16 against the Lions on Sunday.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Held to 30 yards Sunday
Rotowire
Allen (ankle) brought in three of five of targets for 30 receiving yards in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.
Allen overcame a minor ankle injury during the practice week in order to suit up for Sunday's eventual loss. The seasoned veteran posted vanilla numbers on the heels of his two most-productive games. Allen has underwhelmed in Chicago outside of the two aforementioned performances, averaging just 3.7 receptions and 34.7 yards in nine other games this season. Perhaps the 32-year-old has finally lost a step in his 12th year, or his down numbers could simply be the result of the Bears' overall ineptitude on offense. Whatever the case, Allen checks in as a middling fantasy option ahead of next Monday's road tilt against the Vikings.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Returns as full practice participant
Rotowire
Allen (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday.
Allen sat out Wednesday's practice due to the ankle issue, but his ability to take every rep a day later likely indicates that his absence to begin Week 14 prep was maintenance-related. Meanwhile, top wideout DJ Moore (quadricep) has sat out both of the Bears' practices this week, clouding his status for Sunday's game at San Francisco. If Moore's injury forces him to miss his first contest of the season, Allen would likely be in store for an expanded profile in Chicago's passing attack.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Week 13 Adds (WR Preview)
Rotowire
Allen is averaging more than nine targets per game over his last five games, and in Week 12, it finally turned into Fantasy production. He's my third-favorite Bears wide receiver, but in a potential shootout against the Lions, he's still a fine No. 3 option. The floor seems to be eight or nine Fantasy points, and he now has two games on the season with more than 20.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Commands 15 targets
Rotowire
Allen recorded nine receptions on 15 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings.
Allen earned a season-best 15 targets, his third-double digit target total of the campaign. Though he wasn't particularly efficient, he managed to top 45 receiving yards for the first time as a Bear, highlighted by a 40-yard catch and run midway through the first quarter. Allen also tallied his third touchdown of the season with 22 seconds remaining in the game to help set up a remarkable comeback that ultimately fell just short. While it was a positive performance, Allen's track record in Chicago suggests he may not replicate it any time soon.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Looking good for Sunday
Rotowire
Allen (ankle) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, but the Bears are confident he'll be able to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Allen made an early exit from Friday's practice after rolling his ankle, but both he and head coach Matt Eberflus expressed optimism afterward that the wideout would be ready to go for Sunday. With nothing seemingly changing on that front in the day following the Bears' last Week 12 practice, Allen should be formally cleared to play when Chicago releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Since finding the end zone twice in the Bears' Week 6 demolition of the Jaguars, Allen has been held scoreless in the four games following the team's Week 7 bye, turning in a 15-160-0 receiving line on 31 targets during that stretch.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Optimism for Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach Matt Eberflus said Allen rolled his ankle at Friday's practice, leaving him questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, but the Bears are "hopeful" the wide receiver will be able to suit up, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
After Allen got injured, the Bears pulled him halfway through Friday's session. Allen told Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times after practice that his ankle has some stiffness, but he also expects to be able to go this weekend. Ultimately, Allen's availability will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Questionable due to ankle injury
Rotowire
Allen (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Allen popped up on the injury report as a limited participant in practice Friday. The late-week timing of the injury is concerning, but the veteran wide receiver's status likely won't be clarified until close to 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. When he's healthy, Allen has been outproduced by DJ Moore and Rome Odunze recently in a Bears passing game that hasn't produced a touchdown since Week 6.
