5. Keenan Allen-WR-San Diego Chargers (41.6%)

Keenan Allen has quickly emerged as a top weapon for Philip Rivers in the Chargers offense, and even after a rough start on Sunday he finished with another big game catching eight passes for 128 yards and a touchdown against the Redskins. The last four weeks, Allen has three 100+ yard games with a touchdown which is incredible consistency and numbers for a rookie receiver just stepping in.

Philip Rivers continues to target him early and often which makes him worth a WR2 spot on most rosters in fantasy football. If for some reason he’s been passed over in your league, make him your top priority if you need long-term help at the WR spot. Riley Cooper has more short-term value, but Allen should continue to produce all season long since he’s the main target in a pass-heavy scheme.

This week, the Bolts return home to host the Broncos in an AFC West clash. It should be a high-scoring game with plenty of passes coming Allen’s way. The Broncos have allowed the sixth most points per game to opposing WR making Allen a really nice play next week.
