I can buy 9/135 with one possible score, but two is hard to see. He's yet to score a TDNext week... against the high scoring broncos and their pass rush... keenan allen finally puts up a great game... as rivers looks to slice and dice with short routes rather than lobs. 9-135-2...
vs chris harris and aqib talib?Next week... against the high scoring broncos and their pass rush... keenan allen finally puts up a great game... as rivers looks to slice and dice with short routes rather than lobs. 9-135-2...
The Chargers say defenses are using more press-coverage against Keenan Allen in 2014, leading to his disappointing start to the season.
"People, they aren't stupid," WRs coach Fred Graves said. "They're not just going to let him run free. They're going to take some things away." Allen has a team-high 34 catches, but has turned them into just 354 scoreless yards. His YAC per reception is down from 6.0 to 2.9 this season. Defenses are slapping a cornerback on Allen and rolling safeties to his side, leaving Philip Rivers to spread the ball around. Allen is a WR3/4 for Thursday night in Denver.

that will be the planhow likely is it that they run the ball as much as possible to keep Manning off the field?
Yeah if this isn't the week, not sure we'll ever get one in 2014.He's got to score a TD this week. Right?
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.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.
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.Something is entirely different this year. I don't watch enough Charger games to know, but its just not happening.
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.Mr. Allen, you are playing for your roster spot this week. No more excuses Captain-underneath-route.
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 tonightUntil I see him put together two strong weeks with double digit targets (or at least high single digits), I am also benching him.
Can't stand sitting on those Thursday night clunker scores waiting until Sunday.
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.Didnt he have 10 targets last game?

And that last game Allen had 2 TDs but only 30 yds receivingAllen 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.
What is your other 2 WR were A Brown and TY Hilton?This is really dumb but I would rather play him and get another 5 for 50 peformance than sit him and watch him go off tonight since I know I will be watching the game.
He is overdue for a td
he got cut last week in mine, no one picked him up this week. I was considering it anywaysWith me too.

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?Regardless if he does not score a TD or surpass 100 yards receiving, I am CUTTING him in redraft.
I wouldn't start him over those guys. I am only starting him over allen robinson/ harvin and it is close.Trying to decide whether to start him over Maclin or Tate at wr...or over bradshaw or forsett at flex....or not at all and cry in my pillow tonight after he has a monster night. Thoughts?
Now this is some serious Keenan Allen hype!It'd be nice to know if Calvin is playing for sure thinking about Tate.

Justin hunter sucksHave 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.

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.So odd that he has 0 TDs and the third most yards despite having 9 more targets than anyone else on the team.
