Who's the guy in SD? K. Allen or V. Brown (1 Viewer)

Everyone seems to be leaning towards Allen, but I think it's still up in the air.

Based on the pre-season hype and the reasoning as to why he had a slow start, something tells me it might be Brown.

Can anyone with insight offer their opinions on this?

Lol, damn. Was excited that I received so many quick replies. Should have known it was too good to be true on this forum.

Allen played 72 snaps (100%) Monday night and Brown played 69 snaps (96%). If that's any indication, it seems Allen has moved to the #1 WR for the Chargers. I think they'll both have the targets to be productive, I just think that Allen has the talent to do more with those targets. I think in dynasty and redraft Allen is the guy to own - now and into the future.

I prefer Brown because I expect the best CB to lock up on Allen

I prefer Allen because he's still available on waivers in one of my leagues, while Brown isn't.

Brown has only had one good game - out of five. Some of those games he was invisible. Pass.

Too many options for Rivers to pick from,woodhead and Gates are the 2 you want,everyone else is a pick a week player

I disagree, especially with Allen (vs Brown). He's a rookie who has looked better by the week. Gates has been consistent but in his 2 best weeks he/Rivers exploited 2 of the worst D's in the NFL. Woodhead's production the last couple weeks has been more out of necessity than gameplan, though he will certainly remain a factor.

With the way Rivers is playing this year in a new offense, you cant overlook the production when it comes to FF. It reminds me of a poor man's Packers' offense really. Everybody will likely get their numbers each week, its just a matter of figuring out the 1 or 2 that blow up. When it comes to this offense in particular, I favor Gates and Allen in that regard on a weekly basis.

They're both so-so receivers in a good offense that spreads the ball around a lot. I see no reason for anybody to emerge as "the guy." They lost their crack at that when DX went down.

Makes anyone available a decent dice roll if you're in a pinch, but makes any of them risky to rely on. That's just gonna be SD for you this year, IMO.

If Rivers starts regularly getting more than 40 attempts per game the answer is both.
