benched him again this week ,lol. But started B Cooks for him... we'll see. Every ranking had Cooks ahead of Keenan but that should end next week, he looks great.

Imagine trading him away after a down month only for him to string together the best two games of his career.
Keenan was a classic buy low coming out of the buy.......an obvious target due to volume and opportunity, not to mention a QB that loves him and loves to sling it. In my lifetime I don't think i enjoyed watching someone play QB as much as i do Rivers- guys got passion and heart.

Totally agree! I'm a guy that tends to have at least one or more teams I dislike in each division and one I like. For the Chargers are that team. Hoping they make a nice run and having rivers and Allen on my FF doesn't hurt LOL!

Never sat him in my standard, but, more because of a lack of better options in a 3WR (sometimes it's good to be bad). I had not been happy with his season at all. But if he stays this hot for the remainder of the season, all is forgiven!

We only start 2 so A Green is locked in a spot... B Cooks was good last week and hopefully again this week. I blew it not starting him this week but I still fear the Thursday night football dud factor....need2know said:

Cooks is matched up against 4.6 forty yard dash X Howard he eats these guys for breakfast!

I'm still not buying this reasoning at all.
The premise is based on Cooks not being a good route runner, thus only doing well against slower cornerbacks. Has this premise actually held up over the course of the season?
Bad games for Cooks against the Panthers where he should have matched up against Daryl Worley RCB 4.64 forty time seems to show that the 40 time does not matter as far as Cooks production.
Cooks inst a bad route runner. I don't care what anyone says about that, its not true.

I never said he was a bad route runner. In that particular game Worley had help over the top in this week’s game indicators from previous games suggest one-on-one match. I’ll take Cooks in that matchup. My premise is that he can’t keep up with Cooks if he doesn’t have help nothing more than that.

I was talking about the article earlier on in the season that was based on the premise from Matt Harmon that Cooks is not a good route runner. Then over simplification of looking at Cooks performance with the Saints against corners with slower 40 times compared to corners with faster 40 times being validation of Harmons opinion.
Of course the sample size used for that analysis was missing something like 40% of the targets (i forget exactly how many, a big chunk of Cooks targets anyways).
Never said it was your opinion, but your statement seemed to be following it.
My point is that this opinion that Cooks does not run good routes is wrong, and the research that was done to support this view was also not done correctly, which in my opinion invalidates both ideas.
I remember being called a flat earther denying science because the analysis did not meet my standard of employing the scientific method. Quite comical to me considering my background geospatial information systems. Never been called a science denier before or since.

I like the part where he is getting lots of catches for a lot of yards and scoring touchdowns.
From ACL tear to Pro Bowl in one year if he can stay healthy the rest of the way.

Chargers-Browns was the late game here in Miami because the Dolphins were on Fox early and it was the only late game on CBS CBS hates South Florida. It's such an amazing feeling to watch Allen and know a) if it's a key third down, they're probably throwing it to him, and b) if the ball is anywhere near him, he's going to catch it. It's not quite as good a feeling as owning Antonio Brown, since AB catches so many long TDs, but it's close. Also reminds me of when you have a bellcow RB, and you know when they have first and goal at the 1 he's getting the ball.

6 for 111 with a narrow miss on a 50 yard TD on a flea flicker. Only thing working against him is game scripts as LAC are rolling teams. Guy is unstoppable right now.

Imagine starting him in a semifinal playoff game only to watch Phillip rivers play one of the worst games of his career
Imagine starting both Rivers and Allen
Could tell it was going to be a different game on the first drive. When the Charges keep Rivers clean he can work the field. He was getting pressured from the offset last night.

Agree, always disliked his attitude. But this is who he is. He's a "gunslinger" type who can get hot and win your week but can also be a giant baby.

I didn't pay attention to who was working with Tirico last night but he made some remark early about "does anybody smile more than Phillip Rivers?"
I was like....errr...have you ever watched the Chargers?

Keenan Allen - WR - Chargers
Keenan Allen (back) is expected to be "fine" for Week 16 at the Jets.
Allen was carted off in Saturday night's loss to Kansas City, missing the Chargers' final drive. With Hunter Henry's (kidney) status in question for Weeks 16-17, Allen will have to handle a particularly heavy passing-game load in two must-win games. The Chargers have fallen to 7-7, but they are still in the playoff hunt.

He could tweak it and be carted off the field like he was last week. I could be paranoid about it but I probably should be.

If I were being overly paranoid about a guy getting pulled mid-game because of injury, I sure as hell wouldn't put all my chips on Julio and JuJu.
