2. Keenan Allen-WR-San Diego Chargers (34.1%)

Another nice receiving option if you can’t get Jones is Keenan Allen who is coming off a bye week so may be overlooked if people just look at last week’s box score standouts. Allen has emerged as Philip Rivers best receiving weapon and had a pair of nice games with 100+ yards and a touchdown before taking it easy at Jacksonville and over the bye week.

Allen has been targeted at least six times per game over the last four and has filled in after Malcom Floyd and Denario Alexander were lost for the season due to injury. I think the Bolts will make a push for the Wild Card spot in the AFC, and as they do they’ll keep their pass-heavy attack making Allen a really nice option down the stretch.

Allen has a string of nice matchups starting with the Redskins this Sunday who allow the fourth most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers. After Washington, Allen faces the Broncos and Dolphins all of which points to a nice run if he can stay the #1 WR for Philip Rivers.
