4. Keenan Allen-San Diego Chargers (6.7%)

Even before last night’s primetime breakout for Allen, he had a couple of solid weeks the last two weeks. Against Dallas, Allen had five catches for 80 yards before scoring his first NFL TD and loggin his first 100+ yard game against the Raiders while catching six of the nine targets thrown his way.

Last night, he had another TD and was the Chargers most effective wide receiver. The Chargers and Phillip Rivers use audibles and matchups to exploit the defenses weaknesses, so there may be some games where Allen doesn’t get much attention. With all the injuries, though, at WR for the Chargers, Allen will get plenty of passes thrown his way as San Diego keeps throwing the ball early and often.

Next week, the Chargers travel to Jacksonville which sets up nicely for Allen to have another good game week 7. If you need a WR3 or a flex, he’s one of the best widely available plug-and-play options.
