WR Keenan Allen, CHI (1 Viewer)

@32BeatWriters
"I didn't think I was going to be targeted a lot," Allen said with a laugh. "Going through the week it was still frustrating, obviously, because things happen. Plays don't play out like they do.

"So we talked about it again on the sideline. [Offensive coordinator] Shane [Waldron] had that red zone drive where I did score the first touchdown, he kept coming to me back to back to back, three plays in a row he came to me."
 
I never thought i would ask, but... droppable?
its getting close to that point, but I'd hold for a little while longer. but it is getting to a point where you can only have a dead spot on your roster for so long. I get that. and if you are on the cusp of making the playoff, you may not be in a position to hold.

if that is the case for you......its a tough call.....
 
Hard to know which WR will get targeted week to week. Odunze had a good week and he was dropped in my league last week. It could be DJ, Keenan, or Odunze next week. Who knows?
 
I'd drop Allen. He is getting the targets, but 1/3 of those throws are ugly and Allen is dropping a lot of passes this year. Bears HAVE TO get Kmet involved. Once they do I think Allen is the odd man out.

well, it was obvious from day one that they have too many mouths to feed there. Caleb isnt at a point where he can support 3 top WR and a top TE.

and Odunze is the future. he was drafted to grow up with Caleb. Likely once Odunze is more of a proven commodity Keenan Allen is a lot more likely to go on the block.

I do think if Allen gets healthy he can be productive, but that has always been his issue. dude cant stay healthy enough. if feels like for every year hes healthy there are 2 where he isnt. Hes now at an age where the health thing becomes more important because you just dont recover from injury the same at the age 29 or 30 as compared to the age 25
 
Allen is dropping a lot of passes this year

According to PFF, he has 2 drops on 38 targets. Not sure that qualifies as "a lot".
That seems too low. He had two just this weekend, although I think one was waived off because he committed OPI.

Per PFF, he has caught 5 of 8 contested catches. Maybe you are thinking of those 3 contested catches he did not catch... but those are not drops.

ETA: PFR has him with 1 drop on 42 targets.

I'll admit I may have overstated that he is dropping a lot. He for sure dropped what would have been Caleb's first TD pass week 1. And had two passes bounce off him this weekend. There have been multiple times this season he didn't come down with a ball that Elite WRs should. As a Bears fan, I'd love for him to bounce back to elite status, but he's an aging possession receiver that the team is having trouble getting going.

Thats not to put it all on Allen either. QB play has been up and down and the OC is pretty horrible.

Allen is a decent safety valve, but indeed aging. Odunze is starting to produce and maybe figuring things out - wouldn't surprise me to see Caleb start to target Rome more at the expense of Keenan.

It’s gonna depend on price, but I’m afraid I have to admit something.

I’m coming back around on Keenan Allen.

He’s been an effective weapon for the #Bears as Caleb Williams has come into his own these last few weeks. At the right value, I’d consider bringing him back.
 
Any update on why he missed practice? Rest/Vet day or something more with the ankle. Odd as he played a week ago on Thursday.

(Rotowire) Allen didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury. Analysis: Allen was among three key Bears skill-position players -- also, fellow WR DJ Moore (quadriceps) and RB D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) -- that didn't log any work to begin Week 14 prep. Allen rolled his ankle during a Nov. 22 practice, so his absence Wednesday may be maintenance related. Still, his status will be monitored as the week goes on to determine whether his availability for Sunday's game at San Francisco may be in question.
