LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Detroit Lions

Keenan Allen was fairly quiet in Week 9, although he did go past 10,000 receiving yards for his career. Allen managed 11.7 Half PPR points and finished as the WR16. Allen is still averaging 19.08 Half-PPR points per game, but this average is boosted by his form in the opening three weeks of the season. In Weeks 1-3, Allen averaged 10 grabs for 134 yards and 25 Half PPR points. In the five games since, these numbers are down to six, 63.6, and 11.76.

Allen should be able to return to something approaching his early season form against the Lions in Week 10. As stout and stingy as the Lions are to running backs, they are more generous towards wide receivers, ranking 20th in aFPA to wideouts. Allen projects to be a solid WR1 this week.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at New York Jets

Keenan Allen put up respectable numbers against the Bears but wasn’t able to make much noise from a fantasy point of view. Eight receptions for 69 yards on 10 targets isn’t nothing, but the 8.6 yards per reception were a season low for Allen, who was also kept out of the end zone for the second game in a row. Allen finished as the WR34 in Half-PPR scoring, a far cry from his seasonal points per game mark as the WR5.

It's not going to get a lot easier for Allen this week, as he could hardly have asked for a more difficult matchup. The Jets rank first in aFPA to wide receivers this season. The injuries and inconsistent nature of Allen’s fellow wide receivers should ensure he remains atop the target totem pole, and it is for this reason that he should be viewed as a mid-tier WR1 this week. A touchdown or two certainly wouldn’t hurt.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Chicago Bears

Keenan Allen managed just four receptions for 55 yards in Week 7, giving him 14 grabs combined in the three games since he caught 18 balls against the Vikings in Week 3. Allen managed to tot up 7.5 Half-PPR points, finishing as the WR41. This is a long way off from his seasonal rank of WR2 with an 18.5 points per game average.

The Bears, who the Chargers play in Week 8, have actually been slightly less generous against wide receivers than other positions in 2023. They rank 16th in aFPA to the wideouts, compared to 30th against RBs and 20th versus tight ends. Still, Allen has been a hard man to keep down for the bulk of the season, and it is safe to project a mid-tier WR1 outing from him this week.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Kansas City Chiefs

Keenan Allen's strong start to the 2023 season continued in Week 6 against the Cowboys. Allen saw 11 targets, his third double-digit game of the year, and caught seven of them for 85 yards and a touchdown. Allen finished with 18.0 Half-PPR points, good for a WR5 outing in Week 6, and is averaging more points per game (20.7) than any wide receiver not named Tyreek Hill this season.

It's not a great matchup on paper, with the Chiefs ranking seventh in aFPA to wide receivers this season. But if Allen sees anything approaching his season average of 11 targets, then he can certainly make some fantasy noise once again. He should continue to be viewed as an elite WR1 option until further notice.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Tyreek Hill is the only wide receiver averaging more fantasy points per game than Keenan Allen after five weeks of football. The wily veteran is averaging career-highs with 8.8 receptions and 108.5 receiving yards per game after four outings, along with a whopping 21.4 Half PPR points per game.

Allen faces a stiff test of his fantasy point-scoring abilities in Week 6 with a clash against the Cowboys. Wide receivers have not enjoyed much success against the Cowboys in 2023, with Dan Quinn's charges ranking 9th in aFPA to the position. Still, volume trumps all, and if Allen sees his normal allocation of targets he should still be able to deliver at a high-end WR1 level.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Keenan Allen enjoyed a career day against the Vikings in Week 3, earning him overall WR1 numbers for the week. Allen caught 18 of his 20 targets for 215 yards, all career highs, on his way to 36.5 Half PPR points. He also attempted his first pass since 2021, with Mike Williams grabbing it for a 49-yard touchdown. Allen is the WR2 in fantasy points per game in 2023 after three weeks.

The Raiders have been better against wide receivers than other positions so far this season, and rank 11th in aFPA to wideouts. But Allen is an absolute target monster so far this season, and with Mike Williams lost for the tear and Austin Ekeler still sidelined, he projects for another huge workload in Week 4. He's a top-end WR1 projection this week.

LAC WR Keenan Allen - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Minnesota Vikings

Keenan Allen rolled back the years with a fantasy day to remember against the Titans in Week 2. The wily vet corralled eight of ten targets for 111 yards with two touchdowns on his way to 27.1 Half PPR points and an overall WR1 finish. Allen is the WR5 after two weeks of the season.

The good times should continue to roll for Allen against a woefully undermanned Vikings defense in Week 3. Another top-12 outing should be on the cards in a game that should see the scoreboard well and truly lit up.
