The blueprint to beating the Vikings defense is through the passing game. They are the fourth-worst defense against wide receivers but eighteenth best against running backs, as shown by our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. 4for4’s rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Allen ranked as a low-end half PPR WR1. Allen will continue to benefit from a narrow passing distribution alongside Mike Williams and Hunter Henry. These three receiving threats accounted for 93% of the team targets in Week 14.

Week 13 at Denver Broncos
In Week 11, Allen found the end zone for the first time since his two-touchdown performance against the Houston Texans in Week 3. The Chargers had a bye in Week 12.

The Broncos are the tenth best defense against wide receivers, as shown by our signature schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed metric. 4for4’s rankings expert, John Paulsen, has Allen ranked as a low-end half PPR WR2 in a difficult matchup.

Week 10 at Oakland Raiders
