2. WR Keenan Allen vs. Dallas Cowboys

Keenan Allen picked up right where he left off as Justin Herbert’s favorite target, catching nine balls for 100 yards. He carved up what was thought to be a formidable Washington defense.

Allen owners should be salivating over his Week 2 matchup against the Cowboys, who got gauged by Tampa Bay in Week 1. In what will be a likely shootout, Allen should receive an enormous workload.

Dallas allowed Chris Godwin — nine catches for 105 yards and a touchdown — and Antonio Brown — five catches for 121 yards and a touchdown — to explode in their Week 1 matchup, meaning Allen may not be the only Los Angeles receiver to go off this week.

Allen was probably already slotted into your season-long lineups in Week 2, but he should be in your DFS plans if you can afford him.
