WR Keenan Allen, CHI (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Sabertooth
- Start date
I can buy 9/135 with one possible score, but two is hard to see. He's yet to score a TD

vs chris harris and aqib talib?

Probably not. More likely 3 TDs to Royal. Or Gates. Or Floyd.

how likely is it that they run the ball as much as possible to keep Manning off the field?

Smells like chicken
that will be the plan
However SD Def will not be able to stop peyton, especially if both Flowers and Verrett are out

I'm not sure why anyone is expecting him to do anything in a shootout. When San Diego fell behind Oakland and were forced to throw he only got 3 catches for 27 yards.
He sucks this year. He was lucky last year because in his bad weeks he got bailed out by an abnormal amount of TD's that could never be realistically expected on a week to week basis. I cut him weeks ago and could not be happier.

In his first 17 games as a pro he put up 79/1209/10. That includes the playoffs, and his first two games as a pro when he put up 3/30/0. He was fantastic last year. Let's not pretend he wasn't.
Something is entirely different this year. I don't watch enough Charger games to know, but its just not happening.

Mr. Allen, you are playing for your roster spot this week. No more excuses Captain-underneath-route.

It's been discussed in several articles. Sounds like defenses have rolled a lot more coverage to him, and Rivers is savvy enough not to force the ball to him. That has opened up targets for Floyd, Gates, Royal, etc.
If Allen is truly going to take the next step, he's going to have to learn to beat the coverage sent his way.

I still don't buy the "too many lucky TDs" argument, because I watched the games last year and he looked good while doing it. He didn't look like a JAG merely getting opportunities. I will buy the argument that defenses are focusing more on him and he hasn't handled it well. Anyway, there's no way I'm dropping this guy to the wire like others have. Still a lot of football left to play this season.

With me too. I have some byes coming up and he'll make it very easy for me on whom to drop if he puts up another dud.

Didnt he have 10 targets last game? He led the team in rec and was 4 yards away from leading in yardage last week. Sd prob won't be able to run as much as they would like tonight

Allen has a chance for a good game, but I expect SD to run the ball a lot and try and keep Manning off the field. Worked great for SD last time they were in Denver.

He did have 10 last game - that was my point. His targets have not been there this year for all sorts of reasons discussed above: 9, 6, 2, 12, 7, 6, 10.
Maybe Rivers will indeed air it out a lot tonight, so hopefully he gets to that number again. I'm a bit skeptical though with Floyd and Royal healthy. They may finally get Green more involved, too.

What is your other 2 WR were A Brown and TY Hilton?
That is my conundrum
Rivers has 17 TD and 0 to Allen

Can't decide between him or Tre Mason at flex. Fisher has me scared with the "Stacy may get 25 carries this week" talk.
Regardless if he does not score a TD or surpass 100 yards receiving, I am CUTTING him in redraft.

His production has not matched his name recognition/potential. Someone (in my 10 team, 16 roster spot)league with injury/bye issue/losing record is desperate.

The biggest Charger fan in the world cut him in my 10 team 15 roster league. I'm not cutting a guy who I know is good for a flavor of the week, not worth it.His production has not matched his name recognition/potential.

So, if he catches 9 balls for 94 yards, which would be over 18 points in PPR, you are cutting him?

I wouldn't start him over those guys. I am only starting him over allen robinson/ harvin and it is close.

Have Allen is several redrafts but got an offer of Tre Mason/Justin Hunter in one of them and took it. It's worth it solely to not have to consider starting Allen any more.

KA and Hunter are both in their second year. Who would you rather own IF Mettenberger shows some stone?

The targets are there... 10 targets last week, which is 51 on the season while being a bit banged up. He could have a good game here. Decent but not great match-up, and they'll need to throw. He's due for a fudgin' touchdown, at the least.
