The Chargers are expected to hold wide receiver Keenan Allen out of their season finale Sunday against the Chiefs as he recovers from a lingering hamstring issue.

Fantasy Impact:

The Chargers have nothing to play for save draft position in Week 17 so it makes sense to hold Allen out and ensure he can fully recover from the hamstring issue that's bothered him for several weeks now. Allen was a bankable WR1 with Justin Herbert under center and should be drafted as such in 2021.

Keenan Allen not expected to play in Week 16

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) is not expected to play in Week 16 against the Broncos.

Fantasy Impact:

Allen played last week, but saw just 24 snaps. The Chargers are going to let Allen recover. No reason to rush him with the Chargers at 5-9. There’s a chance he’ll be out there for the season finale against the Chiefs.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring, questionable) returned to take limited reps Friday after missing practice earlier in the week and is questionable for Week 16. It's a good sign that he returned to practice, though the team is calling him a game-time decision.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen is questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, according to Gilbert Manzano of the OC Register.

Fantasy Impact:

Allen was going to be an iffy play because of the hammy. He labored through a TNF win Week 15, and appears to be set to do the same Week 16.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) missed practice again Thursday. Allen is being called a game-time decision. Complicating matters, the Chargers play late on Sunday. It's a great matchup and Allen has a chance for a great game, but we don't know how healthy his hamstring is and whether he'll even play.

Los Angeles Chargers superstar wide receiver Keenan Allen will be a game time decision for Week 16's contest against the Denver Broncos.

Fantasy Impact:

Allen has played in 62 straight contests, so the Chargers will give him every opportunity to prove that he can contribute for Week 16 before ruling him out. Allen stated that the games played streak was on his mind when he was pushing to play against the Raiders. He felt the hamstring tighten up and watched the majority of the game from the sidelines. Fantasy managers should have their contingency options ready but can afford to be cautiously optimistic. Keenan is our 21st ranked wide receiver for finals week.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday. We're assuming Allen will play since he did play last Thursday and had 10 days to recover, so the Chargers may just be giving him as much rest as possible. Stay tuned.

Keenan Allen (hamstring) active for TNF

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is active for Thursday Night Football against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Fantasy Impact:

Keenan Allen has been spectacular when not facing elite corners this season and is second in the NFL with 99 receptions, and ninth with eight receiving touchdowns. Even though he is active, Allen is expected to play a limited role against the Raiders, perhaps acting as more decoy than true number one. Allen is our 31st ranked receiver for Week 15.

Chargers WR Keenan Allen (hamstring, questionable) took limited practice reps Wednesday. He played through the hamstring last week, so we're expecting him to play. Owners should check inactives on Thursday before locking in their lineups.
