Scouting report

CHI WR Keenan Allen - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Tennessee Titans
Allen might be aging up to and throwing the WR age curve, but he still looks great when he's on the field. The team clearly has long-term visions of Williams and Odunze growing together, but Allen could go a long way in furthering the rookie quarterback in Year 1. Allen's years as a WR1 in fantasy are behind him, but if this offense is cooking the way it looks like it could, he could easily be a top-30 Week 1 option.

CHI WR Keenan Allen - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Keenan Allen has eclipsed 95 receptions in all but one of his last seven seasons while averaging 1,130 yards. He offers rookie QB Caleb Williams a consistent target over the middle of the field in the short-to-intermediate areas and profiles as the leading target earner in Chicago.

Fantasy Downside
Allen is one of the best move-the-chains options in the NFL, consistently getting himself open and becoming his quarterback's best friend. When he's on the field. Allen is heading into his age-32 season and has missed 11 games over the last two seasons while gathering a multitude of cuts and bruises. While he's projected into 2-WR sets from the onset, if he were to miss extended playing time, the team might be forced to see what the combination of D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze will look like, with an eye on the future.

2024 Bottom Line
Allen might be aging up to and throwing the WR age curve, but he still looks great when he's on the field. The team clearly has long-term visions of Williams and Odunze growing together, but Allen could go a long way in furthering the rookie quarterback in Year 1. Allen's years as a WR1 in fantasy are behind him, but if this offense is cooking the way it looks like it could, he could easily be a top-24 option with a discounted price tag.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Las Vegas Raiders

Keenan Allen had one of his quieter games of the season in Week 14, hampered by the loss of Justin Herbert and his own ankle injury. Allen caught six of his 12 targets for 68 scoreless yards on his way to a mere 9.8 Half-PPR points, finishing as the WR22 for the week. This was a long way off his 17.3 points per game average this season, a tally good for WR3.

Allen did not practice in the early part of the week ahead of the Chargers clash with the Raiders. Assuming he does suit up, playing without Herbert puts a serious dent into his fantasy prospects. Allen looks more like a low-end WR2 this week, thanks to Easton Stick and a Raiders defense that ranks eighth in aFPA to wide receivers.

Update: Allen has been declared out, so be sure to get him out of lineups.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Denver Broncos

The general offensive malaise that gripped the Chargers Week 13 game even affected the usually solidly reliable Keenan Allen. Allen caught five of his nine targets for 58 scoreless yards on his way to 8.3 Half-PPR points. His season average is 17.9, and his seasonal points per game rank of WR4 is 32 spots ahead of where he finished last week.

The Broncos have been more welcoming to fantasy running backs than wide receivers this season, ranking 23rd in aFPA to backs and fourth to wideouts. But Allen's weekly floor keeps him fantasy-relevant in even the toughest matchups, assuming last week was a team-wide blip. He's a safe WR1 this week.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at New England Patriots

Keenan Allen continues to dominate the passing game for the Chargers, as evidenced by his 16 targets against the Ravens last week. Allen reeled in 14 balls for 106 yards, though his lack of touchdowns meant he was only the WR14 in Half-PPR scoring in Week 12. He's the WR2 overall with an average of 18.8 points per game.

Allen doesn't have the most fearsome matchup of the week, with the Patriots ranking 19th in aFPA to wide receivers. His ridiculous workload should allow him to remain among the elites of the WR position this week.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Baltimore Ravens

Keenan Allen had a monster game against the Packers, catching 10 of his 16 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown on his way to WR5 overall numbers last week with 22.6 Half PPR points. But he should have had a much bigger day, with two killer drops when in scoring position. Still, Allen is the WR2 in points per game in 2023.

The Ravens present a formidable opponent for Allen in Week 12, ranking third in aFPA to wide receivers this season. Still, volume is the driver behind fantasy production, and with so little else working in the passing game other than Allen #13 should continue to see enough work to keep him fantasy-relevant. He should be able to put up WR1 numbers again.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Green Bay Packers

When Justin Herbert strikes up a decent tune, Keenan Allen makes sweet music in fantasy football. The wily vet amassed 35 Half-PPR points last week, the most of any wide receiver in Week 11, and he ranks as the WR3 in average fantasy points per game in 2023 with 18.7.

The Packers have been more generous towards running backs than wide receivers this season, and rank sixth against wideouts compared to 25th against tailbacks. But Keenan Allen's dominance of the passing game in this offense gives him a ludicrously safe fantasy floor. He should be in the WR1 mix once again.
