WR Keenan Allen, the youngest player on the Chargers roster, was 20 when drafted in April, is among the team's biggest surprises this year.

Allen has caught 23 passes for 369 yards and two touchdowns the past four games, a run that becomes more impressive when considering his growing pains months ago. Moving forward, confidence management is key.

Allen has really stepped up since the loss of Malcom Floyd and has emerged as Philip Rivers go-to WR - seemingly over Eddie Royal, who got off to a great start, and Vincent Brown, who has yet to really get things going this season. We're respecting Allen too, and rank him as a WR1 play this week.

Chargers WR Eddie Royal (toe, questionable) missed practice all week and is questionable for Week 7. Royal's toe injury is likely to keep him out against the Jaguars, which would boost the value of Keenan Allen and Vincent Brown.

Jaguars TE Marcedes Lewis (calf, probable) took limited practice reps all week and is probable for Week 7. Lewis should return to his starting role this week. The Jaguars are hurting at receiver, so he could see a few targets against the Chargers.

Chargers WR Eddie Royal (toe) missed practice again Thursday. Royal's toe injury might keep him out against the Jaguars, which would boost the value of Keenan Allen and Vincent Brown.

Jaguars TE Marcedes Lewis (calf) took limited practice reps again Thursday. Lewis could return to his starting role this week, but he's not on the fantasy radar right now.
