Keenan Allen Week 3 Outlook - Bears at Chiefs

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 21st 2023, 8:57am EDT

I was told in the offseason that Allen was too old and injury-prone to be a WR1 in 2023. After two games, he is the WR6 in fantasy, commanding a 25.7% Target share, a 31.5% air-yard share, and a 29.4% first-read share. Allen is 12th in receiving grade and 17th in YPRR. Against zone coverage, the Chargers have been a two-headed attack with Allen and Mike Williams leading the way, so expect Allen to GET FED here. Allen will run about 60% of his routes against Harrison Smith, who allowed a 76.4% catch rate and 129.0 in slot coverage last season. Week 3 Positional Value: Top-five WR
