Could sign extension this offseason
GM Ryan Poles said Monday that he thinks Allen will sign an extension with the Bears "down the road" after the team handles other contracts, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Poles seems to be suggesting that the Bears first want to work out extensions for players that have been with the team longer, though they already took care of two big ones in DE Montez Sweat (November) and CB Jaylon Johnson (March). Allen's new partner at wide receiver might be next in line, as DJ Moore's contract has two more seasons and $32.1 million but nothing guaranteed. Allen has one year and $23.1 million remaining, with the large sum explaining why the Chargers traded him for a mere…read more

Dealt to Bears
Allen (heel) was traded from the Chargers to the Bears in exchange for a fourth-round pick Thursday, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Allen has been a key figure in the Chargers offense for the last 11 seasons, but salary cap problems and a new coaching staff and front office have caused the team to move on. Despite entering his age-32 season, Allen has shown few signs of decline, as he racked up 150 targets across only 13 games in 2023. He turned that into 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns while also tallying a career-best 19 receptions of at least 20 yards. Allen will face some questions on his new team, however, as DJ Moore…read more

Fourth consecutive absence Week 18
Allen (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Allen will miss a fourth consecutive game to end the season. It's an unfortunate finish to an otherwise excellent campaign from the veteran wide receiver, who finishes with 108 catches on 150 targets for 1,243 yards and seven touchdowns in just 13 games. Allen has one more year remaining on his contract, but there is a potential out in his deal this offseason, so it's possible that his tenure with the Chargers will come to an end after 11 seasons.

Still not practicing
Allen (heel) didn't practice Thursday.
Analysis: Allen, who last suited up Week 14, also missed Wednesday's practice and doesn't seem especially likely to play in his team's season finale Sunday against the Chiefs with the Chargers eliminated from playoff contention. If Allen remains sidelined this weekend, Joshua Palmer could lead the Los Angeles WR corps versus Kansas City if he's able to progress fully through the NFL's concussion protocol ahead of Week 18 action.

Doesn't practice Wednesday
Allen (heel) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Allen has missed the last three games, and the Chargers wouldn't seem to have much incentive to rush him back into action for Sunday's season finale against the Chiefs if he's anything less than 100 percent healthy. Though Allen remained sidelined Wednesday, the Chargers' receiving corps got a boost with Joshua Palmer (concussion) practicing in a limited fashion after sitting out the Week 17 loss to the Broncos.

Won't play Sunday
Allen (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: The same applies to Joshua Palmer (concussion), which sets the stage for Quentin Johnston, Alex Erickson, Jalen Guyton and Derius Davis to lead the Chargers' Week 17 WR corps. Allen now will target a potential return to action in the team's season finale against the Chiefs.

Sits out another practice
Allen (heel) didn't take part in Friday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Allen is tending to a heel injury for a third consecutive week, a span in which he hasn't been able to log any on-field work. Ultimately, the Chargers may make a decision on his availability for Sunday's game at Denver as soon as they post their final Week 17 injury report later Friday. If Allen logs a third straight absence this weekend and fellow wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) joins him on the sideline, L.A. may be down to Quentin Johnston, Alex Erickson, Jalen Guyton and Derius…read more

Still not practicing
Allen (heel) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Popper notes that Allen was spotted taking part in agility work and running off to the side with trainers during the open portion of Thursday's practice, but the veteran wideout didn't mix into drills. Allen hasn't logged any practice reps since making his last appearance in the Chargers' Week 14 loss to the Broncos, and at this stage, he appears to be trending toward missing a third straight game this Sunday in a rematch with Denver.

Misses practice Wednesday
Allen (heel) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Allen hasn't practiced in any fashion since the Chargers' Week 14 loss to the Broncos, and his continued absence Wednesday doesn't inspire much confidence that he'll be available for Sunday's rematch with Denver. With fellow wide receiver Joshua Palmer also missing practice Wednesday due to a concussion, the Chargers' top healthy options at the position are currently Quentin Johnston, Alex Erickson and Jalen Guyton.

Won't play Saturday
Allen (heel) has been ruled out for Saturday night's game against the Bills.
Analysis: Allen thus is slated to miss his second straight game, which sets the stage for Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnston to lead the Chargers' Week 16 wide receiver corps, with Jalen Guyton and Alex Erickson also candidates to factor in. Allen's next chance to return to action will arrive Sunday, Dec. 31 against the Broncos.

Remains absent from practice
Allen (heel) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Allen hasn't practiced in any fashion since emerging from a Dec. 10 loss to the Broncos with a heel injury and looks likely to miss a second consecutive game Saturday versus the Bills. If Allen is ruled out for Saturday's contest upon the release of the Chargers' final injury report of the week later Thursday, Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston and Jalen Guyton would likely serve as the top three options at receiver for quarterback Easton Stick, who will make a second straight start in place of…read more

Misses practice again
Allen (heel) isn't practicing Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Allen was spotted working on the side with a trainer Tuesday but still hasn't officially participated in practice in any capacity since Week 14. He thus appears uncertain for Saturday's game against Buffalo, with the Chargers' lack of playoff hopes potentially being a factor in whether the team decides to make him active or inactive for the contest.

No practice Tuesday
Allen (heel) officially didn't practice Tuesday.
Analysis: He was seen working on the side with a team trainer earlier Tuesday, per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com, so the wide receiver's listing on the Chargers' first Week 16 injury report was of great interest. However, Allen maintained his lack of activity from last week, giving him just two more chances to mix into drills ahead of Saturday's game against the Bills.

Seen at practice Tuesday
Allen (heel) was spotted working with a team trainer on the side at Tuesday's practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Whether or not Allen mixes into drills to kick off Week 16 prep remains to be seen, but he was estimated as a non-participant on all three injury reports last week due to a heel issue before the Chargers ruled him out ahead of last Thursday's game at Las Vegas. Tuesday's practice report will reveal if the 11-year pro was able to handle any work.

Won't face Raiders
Allen (heel) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Raiders.
Analysis: Fifth-year signal-caller Easton Stick will be making his first NFL start after the Chargers placed Justin Herbert (finger) on injured reserve earlier this week, but Stick won't have the Chargers' top pass catcher at his disposal after Allen was unable to shake the heel injury ahead of Thursday's contest. In Allen's absence, Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston, Alex Erickson and Jalen Guyton are expected to serve as the Chargers' top options at receiver this week. Allen will target a potential…read more

Remains idle for practice
Allen (heel) was listed as a non-participant for Tuesday's walk-through practice.
Analysis: Following Sunday's 24-7 loss to the Broncos, the Chargers didn't put in any on-field work Monday, but Allen was estimated as a non-participant while he manages a heel issue. The team held only a light walk-through session Tuesday, but Allen once again remained a spectator. He'll have one more opportunity to take some practice reps this week before Thursday's game against the Raiders. Even if Allen is able to play without restrictions to his snap count, his fantasy stock has taken a hit after…read more

Opens week with DNP on estimate
Allen (heel) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.
Analysis: Allen caught six passes in Sunday's 24-7 loss to the Broncos, setting a new personal best and franchise record with 108 receptions on the season, but he emerged from the game nursing a heel injury. The veteran wide receiver still could rejoin his teammates when they begin holding actual practices Tuesday, but Allen's status bears monitoring on a short week before Thursday's road game in Las Vegas.

Sets franchise mark in loss
Allen caught six of his 12 targets for 68 yards in the 24-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. He also threw an incomplete pass.
Analysis: Allen set both a career high and franchise record Sunday for most receptions in a season (108) in just his 13th game of the campaign. Pro Bowl quarterback Justin Herbert left the game late in the second quarter with an injury to a finger on his throwing hand, but Allen's fantasy managers can at least have some relief given the backup, Easton Stick, routinely targeted the veteran as the offense attempted to come back in the second half. While there hasn't been much information revealed regarding…read more

Paces passing attack once again
Allen caught five of his nine targets for 58 yards in the 6-0 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: Allen didn't seem to show any lingering issues from the quadriceps injury that kept him out of practice Wednesday and Thursday, but the rainy and slippery conditions also seemed to dampen Los Angeles' offense overall. With five games still to go, the 11-year veteran should easily surpass his career high in receptions (106) and could also be poised to set career-high marks in receiving yards (1,393), touchdowns (eight) and targets (159).

Suits up Sunday
Allen (quadriceps) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, Allen logged a limited session to close the week. Meanwhile, per ESPN.com, the wideout downplayed his quadriceps issue Friday, noting "this is light, honestly...thigh contusion is like a solid nick. That's considered not bad." With his active status against the 2-9 Patriots confirmed, Allen should maintain his high-volume role in the Chargers offense Sunday, assuming no in-game limitations or setbacks. To date, the veteran wide receiver has…read more

Expected to play vs. Patriots
Allen (quadricep) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against New England, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Allen is officially listed as questionable due to a quad issue, but after playing through a lingering shoulder injury over the past two games, the wideout looks like he'll once again be able to suit up despite tending to another health concern. The veteran wideout is the lynchpin of Los Angeles' passing game, making his availability a key factor for Justin Herbert's fantasy prospects. Official word on Allen's status will arrive when the Chargers release their inactive list approximately 90…read more

Likely to play versus New England
Allen (quadriceps) is expected to be available for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Allen is dealing with a quad issue that kept him sidelined Wednesday and Thursday before he participated in a limited capacity during Friday's session. The 31-year-old was able to play through a lingering shoulder injury over the past two games, and it seems like this quad injury won't keep him from suiting up for his 12th game this season. It will be worth monitirong Allen's status when the Chargers' inactives list is released 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Analysis: After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday due to a quadriceps injury, Allen returned to a limited session Friday, which gives the Chargers' high-volume wideout a chance to suit up this weekend. Fortunately for those inclined to utilize Allen in Week 13 fantasy lineups, the team kicks off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Returns to practice
Allen (quadriceps) returned to practice Friday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: His return at the end of the week suggests Allen will try to play through a quad injury one week after overcoming a shoulder issue to catch 14 passes for 106 yards in a 20-10 loss to Baltimore. He'll be facing a lesser defense if he suits up this week, playing at New England, but the lack of practice participation before Friday suggests his quad is more bothersome than the shoulder was.

Misses another practice
Allen (quadriceps) remained a non-participant at practice Thursday.
Analysis: Allen has now missed consecutive practices to begin Week 13 prep, so what he's able to do during Friday's session will be telling with regard to his chances of playing Sunday against the Patriots. A return to the field Friday -- even in a limited capacity -- would certainly brighten the prospects of the Chargers' top receiver being available this weekend.

In this past Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Ravens, Allen recorded 14 receptions -- his second-best total of the season -- for 106 yards on 16 targets.

On pace for personal best season
Allen racked up 14 receptions on 16 targets for 106 yards while losing a fumble in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Allen encroached the century mark in receiving yards for the third consecutive week, although he failed to extend his touchdown streak to three games in the loss to Baltimore. It was another exceptional receiving display from the 11th-year wideout, who now sits at 97 receptions, 1,117 yards and seven touchdowns through 11 games. Allen's current pace has him demolishing his previous career highs in receptions (106), yards (1,393) and touchdowns (eight). He could theoretically break two of those…read more

Allen (shoulder) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday.
Analysis: Allen was limited Wednesday, but the wideout's upgrade to full participation Thursday paves the way for him to maintain his high-volume role in the Chargers offense Sunday night against the Ravens. Through 10 games, Allen -- who recorded a 10-116-1 line on 16 targets in a Week 11 loss to Green Bay -- is averaging 8.3 catches (on 11.3 targets) for 101.1 yards per game to go along with seven TDs.

Allen (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Analysis: Allen was listed as questionable ahead of this past Sunday's loss to the Packers with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder, but the wideout played through the issue and finished with 10 receptions for 116 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets. With no reported setbacks coming out of that contest, Allen's limitations Wednesday may well have been maintenance-related.

Tops 1,000-yard mark
Allen caught 10 of 16 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Allen turned in another big game despite uncharacteristically dropping a pair of passes near the goal line. After those miscues, though, he hauled in a 10-yard touchdown during the fourth quarter. In topping 100 yards for the fourth game this season, Allen also surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for the campaign, evidencing his status as one of the league's most consistent wide receivers.

Allen (shoulder), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play without restrictions during Sunday's game against the Packers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Allen is expected to handle his usual allotment of snaps versus Green Bay, a role which has seen him command at least nine targets in all but one of his nine appearances this season. The Chargers are already without Mike Williams (knee), Joshua Palmer (knee) and Gerald Everett (chest), and Jalen Guyton (groin) is also expected to sit out Sunday.

Analysis: Allen missed some time in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Lions due to a shoulder injury, but the only intel noted in its wake was a quote from coach Brandon Staley on Monday that the wide receiver was "day-to-day," per Daniel Popper of The Athletic.

Analysis: Allen wasn't able to practice Wednesday, but his return to field Thursday in a limited capacity creates more confidence in his ability to play through the injury in Sunday's game against the Packers.

Day-to-day with shoulder injury
Coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Allen (shoulder) is day-to-day, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Allen made a brief exit in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Lions, visiting the locker room to have his shoulder evaluated before returning to action. It didn't stop him from torching Detroit's defense to the tune of 11 catches on 14 targets for 175 yards and two touchdowns by game's end. The Chargers have a full week to prepare for next Sunday's visit to Green Bay, but there's a chance Allen has some practice limitations Wednesday through Friday.

Allen tallied 11 receptions on 14 targets for 175 yards and two touchdowns in the 41-38 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: Allen briefly left the game with an apparent shoulder injury, but he returned relatively early after the event occurred. There was some thought the veteran could be used as a decoy after, but he pretty quickly established that there weren't any long-term effects.

Allen caught eight of his nine targets for 77 yards in the Chargers' 27-6 win over the Jets on Monday.

The veteran wide receiver did make a terrific 23-yard catch near the right sideline towards the beginning of the fourth quarter that extended a drive that culminated in three points and a seemingly insurmountable two-touchdown lead, but otherwise it was a ho-hum outing for Allen, who surpassed 10,000 career receiving yards in the…read more

Paces team with 10 targets
Allen had eight receptions on 10 targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 30-13 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Allen recorded double-digit targets for the fourth time in seven starts this season. The 31-year-old is currently averaging 10.6 targets per game, which would set a new career high if maintained for the rest of the campaign. Allen may be forced to maintain this frenetic pace with the Chargers' No. 2 wideout Mike Williams (knee) done for the year as the team prepares to face the Jets next Monday.

Poor outing in loss
Allen caught four of his nine targets for 55 yards in a 31-17 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis: Allen had a few uncharacteristic drops in a bad outing for the veteran. Prior to Sunday, the skilled route runner had at least five receptions or a touchdown in every game dating back to Week 2 of last season. While a poor game against a divisional opponent won't make fantasy managers happy, expect Allen to look much better against the Bears next week.

Grabs fourth touchdown of season
Allen hauled in seven receptions (on 11 targets) for 85 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 20-17 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Allen continued his dominant start to the campaign out of the Chargers' bye week, recording his 42nd reception and scoring his fourth touchdown in just five games this season. The 31-year-old appeared to have lost a step after a down year in 2022, but he put an end to talks surrounding his decline with a current pace that projects new career bests in receptions, yards and touchdowns. Allen will continue to operate as Justin Herbert's top receiving option against the Chiefs this Sunday.

Scores another TD
Allen caught three of his five passes for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Up until the final throw of the game, a 51-yard dime to Joshua Palmer to seal the win, Allen was easily the team's top target as the Chargers largely sat on a massive first-half lead that evaporated quickly over the final 30 minutes. While the veteran's five targets were easily his lowest this season, quarterback Justin Herbert attempted only 24 passes total thanks mostly to game script. With Mike Williams (knee) on injured reserve, expect the passing attack to lean heavily on Allen until the…read more

Massive volume in win
Allen recorded 18 receptions on 20 targets for 215 yards in Sunday's 28-24 win over the Vikings. He also threw for a 49-yard touchdown.
Analysis: Allen's monstrous line unsurprisingly set career-best marks in both receptions and yards in a single game. He did that on impressive volume, but he also managed five catches of more than 20 yards -- a particularly impressive mark given that he had only seven such plays across 10 games in 2022. Allen also contributed to the win in unexpected ways, as he tossed a 49-yard touchdown to Mike Williams midway through the third quarter. The Chargers have shown a willingness to be more aggressive with…read more

Finds end zone twice
Allen recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 111 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Allen managed only two performances of at least 100 yards in 2022, but it took him only the second game of 2023 to reach the mark. His longest gain of the day went for 42 yards, and he tallied scores from eight and 12 yards away. Allen has an impressive 19 targets across two games to begin the campaign and has shown an early connection with Justin Hebert this season.

Capable target again
Allen gathered in six of nine targets for 76 yards during Sunday's 36-34 loss against Miami.
Analysis: Allen's 36-yard catch on the team's opening possession set the tone for what quickly became an offensive explosion, but unfortunately for the pass catchers, the Chargers' rushing attack was dynamic throughout and limited the amount of times quarterback Justin Herbert took to the air. Allen easily finished with the team lead in targets (nine) and didn't seem to have his role threatened at all by first-round pick Quentin Johnston. So long as Allen stays healthy, the veteran is poised to be the…read more

Restructures deal for cap relief
Allen agreed to restructure his contract Thursday, per NFL.com's Kevin Patra.
Analysis: Allen had been rumored to be a potential cap casualty earlier in the offseason, but GM Tom Telesco shut that down at the combine last week. The 30-year-old Allen has converted a large chunk of his 2023 base salary into a bonus to help the Chargers clear $8.9 million in cap space. L.A. did the same thing with Mike Williams' contract Thursday.

Squanders 13 targets
Allen recorded six receptions on 13 targets for 61 yards in Saturday's 31-30 wild-card round loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: Allen dominated targets, which was unsurprising given the absence of Mike Williams (back). While Allen reached double-digit opportunities for the fifth time in his last seven games, he failed to reach 65 receiving yards for only the second time in that span. Allen was particularly poor in the midst of the Chargers' second-half meltdown, as he managed only two receptions for 17 yards on six targets. Despite the disappointing close to the season, Allen will be back with the Chargers in 2023 and…read more

Finishes campaign with two TDs
Allen secured eight of 11 targets for 102 yards and two touchdowns in the Chargers' 31-28 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Analysis: Allen paced the Chargers in receptions, receiving yards and targets while doubling up his season touchdown total with scoring grabs of 14 and three yards, the second coming off the arm of backup Chase Daniel. Allen's already-elevated importance to L.A.'s passing attack will bump up another notch if the back injury Mike Williams exited Sunday's contest with limits or sidelines him for next weekend's wild-card road matchup against the Jaguars.

Pedestrian performance in win
Allen recorded five receptions on six targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Rams. He added one rush for eight yards.
Analysis: Allen entered Sunday's game having recorded at least 85 yards in five of his last six contests, though he turned in a relatively poor performance due to game script. He salvaged his day thanks to a 28-yard catch late in the third quarter, and he now has at least one reception of more than 20 yards in each of his last three matchups. If the Ravens defeat the Steelers on Sunday Night Football, Allen will likely see the field in Week 18 with playoff seeding still at stake.

Targeted 14 times in Week 16
Allen recorded 11 receptions on 14 targets for 104 yards in Monday's 20-3 win over the Colts.
Analysis: Allen earned 14 targets for the third time in his last four games, a mark made more impressive by the fact that Justin Herbert attempted only 31 passes in Monday's win. Allen's performance was highlighted by a long gain of 25 yards, and he narrowly missed a touchdown on the play as he attempted to stay inbounds while running free down the sideline.

Leading receiver in Sunday's win
Allen caught eight of nine targets for 86 yards in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Points and yards were hard to come by for both teams, but Allen led both clubs in catches and receiving yards on the afternoon. The veteran wideout has topped 80 yards in three straight games, posting a 26-266-1 line on 37 targets over that stretch heading into a juicy Week 16 matchup against a reeling Colts defense that just got lit up by Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn.

Since returning from a balky hamstring issue in Week 11, Allen has recorded an impressive 28-322-2 line on 43 targets, with at least a half dozen of those accounting for chain-moving catches.

Allen caught six of his 14 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: The Chargers trailed for much of the second half, prompting Allen's incredibly high target total. It would have been a sour day for fantasy managers had the veteran not snared an absolute laser of a 33-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to keep the game relatively close, but it's still encouraging to see Allen receive the type of workload that was expected for him entering the season.

Touchdown salvages day
Allen recorded five receptions on seven targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Allen was seemingly the primary focus of the Arizona defense, as peripheral options in the Chargers' offense such as DeAndre Carter and Joshua Palmer were both allowed to out-gain him. However, Allen still managed to make an impact by finding the end zone from two yards away and with receptions of 16 and 13 yards. In two games since returning from a hamstring injury, Allen has recorded 10 receptions for 143 yards and a touchdown.

Allen corralled five of his eight targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: It was clear the Chargers sorely missed their veteran receiver, as Allen was a frequent target in the early going. Allen's critical fumble with the Chargers driving for the go-ahead score in the fourth appeared to spell doom for the team, but the 30-year-old erased the gaffe on the ensuing possession with a terrific drive-extending 46-yard reception that ultimately led to the team's final touchdown.

It was assumed the Chargers' Week 8 bye would provide further rest and rehab for the star wideout, but it appears he's still not 100 percent yet. His absence Monday isn't overly concerning, but if he remains sidelined from practice later in the week, it's very possible Allen misses his sixth game of the season Week 9.

'No setback' with hamstring Sunday
Coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Allen had "no setback" with his hamstring during Sunday's 37-23 loss to the Seahawks, but the wide receiver didn't play after halftime because he "did not feel like he could burst" off his leg, and the Chargers didn't want to "risk" additional injury, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: In his first game action since hurting his hamstring Week 1, Allen logged 23 of 71 snaps on offense and gathered in both targets for 11 yards. Now with a Week 8 bye on tap, he'll have time to get closer to 100 percent before L.A.'s next game Sunday, Nov. 6 in Atlanta. Allen's activity level will be of keen interest when the team reconvenes for practice again Wednesday, Nov. 2, especially with Mike Williams in line to miss time due to a high-ankle sprain.

Analysis: Allen is thus in uniform for game action for the first time since Week 1, though it remains to be seen how close to his normal allotment of snaps he'll see in his return to the mix, a context that makes the 30-year-old a speculative fantasy lineup option in Week 7. Given that Joshua Palmer (concussion) is out Sunday, however, the Chargers will gladly take anything they can get from Allen, who will work alongside Mike Williams versus Seattle, with DeAndre Carter also in the team's WR mix.

Stays limited in practice
Allen (hamstring) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
Analysis: According to Daniel Popper of The Athletic, Allen followed a similar routine during the open portion of Friday's workout as he did Thursday, with the wideout going through the first part of individual drills before moving to a side field to run sprints at about 60-to-70 percent effort. At this point in the week, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com relays that the Chargers are viewing Allen as questionable for Monday's game against the Broncos, but the team won't give him a designation until evaluating…read more

Begins week as limited participant
Allen (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: The Chargers listed Allen as a non-participant in each of their previous four practices, so his limited activity to begin Week 6 would seem to be a promising sign. Even so, Allen may need to upgrade to full activity Friday or Saturday for the Chargers to feel comfortable signing off on him playing Monday against the Broncos after he missed each of the previous four games with the hamstring injury.

Limited to side work
Allen (hamstring) was limited to running off to the side during Wednesday's practice, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: Miller notes that Allen seemingly would "have to advance pretty quickly over the next few days" in order to play in Monday's game against the Broncos. The wideout seems to be making progress, however slow, with head coach Brandon Staley calling Allen day-to-day earlier this week. Allen hasn't played since Week 1.

Considered day-to-day
Coach Brandon Staley noted Monday that Allen, who has been sidelined by a hamstring injury, is day-to-day ahead of Week 6 action, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Per the report, Allen, who last suited up Week 1, is dealing with what Staley described as a frustrating soft-tissue injury. At this stage, the wideout's status for next Monday's game against the Broncos is cloudy, but if Allen is able to practice in any capacity this week, his outlook on that front could improve. If he's unable to return, however, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would be in line to continue to see added WR snaps for the Chargers.

Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Allen (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, Bridget Condon of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Allen has remained sidelined since picking up a hamstring injury during the season opener. He appeared close to making his return Week 4 after logging limited practices Wednesday and Thursday, but he ultimately was ruled out after not practicing Friday. The Chargers have continued to be patient with one of their top wideouts, so Allen likely will have to submit at least one full practice before he returns to game action.

Salvages day with TD
Allen caught just four of his nine targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: Allen struggled to gain much separation in this contest, often matching up against sensational rookie Patrick Surtain, with the Broncos cornerback routinely getting the upper hand. The veteran wide receiver did tally his 100th reception for the third consecutive season and found the end zone for the sixth time this season, and he appears poised for another solid game next week in a win-and-you're-in divisional battle against the Raiders.

Allen recorded four receptions on six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 41-29 loss to the Texans.
Analysis: For the second time in his last three games, Allen was held to less than 40 receiving yards. The six targets were his lowest in a game since Week 6 and snapped a seven-contest stretch during which he got at least eight looks in the passing game. Given his track record, Allen has a good chance to bounce back in Week 17 against Denver despite a relatively difficult matchup.

Scores in defeat
Allen tallied six catches on 10 targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 34-28 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Allen's 29-yard reception accounted for the Chargers' longest play of the evening, but it was the slightly overthrown deep pass with 33 seconds left in the game that will go down as the biggest missed opportunity for both Los Angeles and fantasy managers. After failing to score a touchdown from Weeks 9-12, the veteran wideout now has three over the last two games, with a missed contest due to COVID-19 sandwiched in between.

Comes off COVID-19 list
The Chargers activated Allen (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
Analysis: At the time Allen tested positive for COVID-19 last Monday, it was known that he was vaccinated, giving him a chance to clear league protocols and play this past Sunday against the Giants. He wasn't able to do so, but he now is free and clear ahead of Thursday's contest against the Chiefs. The Chargers listed Mike Williams (heel) as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report, so Allen could take on even greater target share Week 15 if his fellow wideout is limited or sidelined.

Allen registered seven receptions on 10 targets for 85 yards in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Allen continues to be a menace as a chain-moving target, but the continual red-zone reliance on Austin Ekeler and a trio of tight ends has siphoned off the veteran's normally consistent touchdown numbers. It's clear the Chargers have become reliant on Allen between the 20s, and with high-octane offensive matchups littering the latter half of the schedule, expect the 29-year-old to have a relatively safe fantasy floor the rest of the season.

Allen caught seven of 11 targets for 36 yards in Monday night's 28-14 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Allen was restricted to underneath passes in the first half but nearly hauled in a deep crossing route in the second, only for the ball to glance off his fingertips. Without a gain longer than nine yards, Allen was held in check by the Raiders defense, but the veteran once again led the Chargers in receptions and targets to salvage some value. Following consecutive games with under 6.5 yards per catch, Allen will try to get loose in Week 5 versus the Browns.

Full go for Monday
Allen (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Raiders, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Allen was a limited participant in practice earlier this week, but a full showing Saturday confirmed his status ahead of the critical divisional matchup. Through three games, Allen leads the team in targets (33) and catches (21) and is second in receiving yards (258) despite the emergence of Mike Williams as a co-No. 1 option.

Remains limited Friday
Allen (ankle) remained limited at practice Friday.
Analysis: Despite back-to-back limited practice sessions, so far there's been nothing to suggest that Allen's Week 4 status is in any danger. In any case, Saturday's final injury report will reveal whether Allen approaches Monday night's game against the Raiders carrying an injury tag or is cleared to play in the contest.

Limited by ankle issue
Allen (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: We'll track Allen's status leading up to Monday night's game against the Raiders, but so far there's nothing to suggest that his Week 4 availability is in peril. Three games into the 2021 season, the veteran PPR-stalwart has recorded a predictably solid 21-258-1 stat line.

First touchdown of season
Allen registered eight receptions on 12 targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: The emergence of Mike Williams as a key red-zone threat has somewhat negated Allen's influence near the end zone, but the veteran wide receiver took advantage of shoddy goal-line coverage in the first quarter to tack on his first touchdown of the new campaign. Allen has logged double-digit targets in two of three games this season and should continue to see a relatively high workload given the pass-happy nature of the Chargers offense.

Goes over 100 yards
Allen snared four of his eight targets for 108 yards in the 20-17 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Analysis: Allen's 42-yard reception was the longest play of the game, but the star wideout was otherwise kept in check with the Cowboys defense repeatedly bearing down on quarterback Justin Herbert. The veteran wideout should be set for a heavy workload next week against the Chiefs, having recorded at least eight receptions and 80 yards in each of his last four games against the aforementioned divisional opponent.

Posts usual line
Allen caught nine of his 13 targets for 100 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over Washington.
Analysis: Allen and Justin Herbert looked like a seasoned duo as the passing offense shredded what was widely regarded as a difficult Washington defense. An uncharacteristic drop by Allen in the first half stymied a possible touchdown drive, but it was an otherwise dominant day for the veteran wideout. Both Allen and Williams, the two outside wide receivers, registered double-digit targets while no other wideout saw more than five, reinforcing Allen's role as the top option. Expect a similar type of…read more

Won't play in preseason
Coach Brandon Staley said Allen and other key starters won't play in the preseason, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: In addition to Allen, Justin Herbert and Austin Ekeler are the notables on the offensive side of the ball. Clearly, Staley doesn't want to get to Week 1 without one of the trio available. For Allen in particular, he sat out the final two games of last season due to a lingering hamstring injury (Weeks 16-17) and subsequent stay on the reserve/COVID-19 list (Week 17). Prior to the absence, he fell just shy of 1,000 receiving yards (992, to be precise) for a fourth consecutive campaign, recorded…read more

Returns from COVID list
The Chargers activated Allen (undisclosed/hamstring) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, per the NFL's official transactions report.
Analysis: Allen missed the Chargers' regular-season finale after being placed on the COVID-19 list, but he'll now be eligible to return to team facilities. It's possible that he would've been unavailable for the win over Kansas City anyway, given that he missed Week 16 due to a lingering hamstring injury, but there's not yet any reason to suspect that his availability for the start of offseason workouts is in danger. Allen appeared in 14 games in 2020, during which span he quickly emerged as the favorite…read more

Iffy for Sunday
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network calls Allen (hamstring) a "legit game-time decision" for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Adam Schefter of ESPN previously suggested that the "plan going into Sunday is to let (Allen) recover" from his hamstring injury, but it appears as though the wideout will test things out during pre-game warmups before a final call is made on his status for the Chargers' 4:05 ET kickoff. Allen approached his team's Dec. 17 game against the Raiders in a similar fashion before suiting up and seeing a limited snap share (36 percent), en route to catching just one pass in his team's Week 15 win.

Not expected to play Sunday
Allen (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, isn't expected to play Sunday versus Denver, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Allen was limited to 24 offensive snaps last week against the Raiders due to the hamstring injury, and he may be forced to miss his first game of the season this weekend. Quarterback Justin Herbert may be without two of his top weapons Sunday since tight end Hunter Henry (undisclosed) is also potentially unavailable while on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Allen (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos after being listed as limited on Friday's practice estimate.
Analysis: Previous reports have suggested that Allen could be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest, and that's how his Week 16 status should be treated until or unless further reports with additional context arrive.

Coach Anthony Lynn indicated that Allen (hamstring) could be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: That's how Allen approached last Thursday's contest against the Raiders before suiting up and seeing a limited snap share (36 percent) in the Chargers' victory. The team's top pass catcher thus appears destined to head into the weekend tagged with an official Week 16 'questionable' designation.

Misses practice Wednesday
Allen (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Allen was viewed as a game-time decision for last Thursday's tilt with the Raiders, but he suited up and saw a limited snap share (36 percent) in the Chargers' 30-27 overtime win. It's quite plausible that Allen's absence to begin Week 16 prep is maintenance-related, a scenario that would be supported by his return to practice in any capacity Thursday.

Limited to one grab in win
Allen (hamstring) secured one of three targets for 17 yards and lost a yard on his one rush attempt in the Chargers' 30-27 overtime win over the Raiders on Thursday night.
Analysis: The veteran had been an iffy proposition to suit up heading into pregame warmups, and even though he was ultimately active, he played a much lesser role than customary. Allen's reception and yardage tallies were season lows, while he saw only one more target than in a Week 5 battle against the Saints, during which he logged just 12 snaps due to back spasms. Allen will now have extra time to rest up ahead of a Week 16 contest against the Broncos on Sunday, Dec. 27, a game in which he'll look to…read more

The Chargers "are concerned they won't have" Allen (hamstring) for Thursday night's game against the Raiders, and if they do, he's likely to be limited, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The same report notes that Mike Williams (back) is not expected to play, which sets the stage for Tyron Johnson and Jalen Guyton to see added Week 15 snaps. Allen's status will be officially clarified once the Chargers post their inactives approximately 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but it's starting to look like he can't be counted on for his usual high-volume role in the team's passing attack this week.

With the Chargers on a short week, look for Allen and Williams to be tested out by the team during warmups.

Analysis: The Chargers also list wide receiver Mike Williams (back) and running back Austin Ekeler (quadriceps) as questionable. The expectation is that Allen will ultimately gain clearance for the Week 15 matchup and handle his usual role, but fantasy managers will need to monitor his status ahead of the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Scores again in win
Allen caught nine of his 11 targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in the 20-17 win Sunday over the Falcons.
Analysis: Sunday's touchdown tied Allen's career high in a season, but perhaps more impressively, the veteran route runner continues to score from at least 10 yards out. An injury to Mike Williams (back) allowed the Falcons' secondary to converge even more tightly on Allen, which set the stage for Tyron Johnson (6-55-1) to have a career day, but the 28-year-old Allen was still a critical factor on the penultimate drive that ultimately saw Justin Herbert stare down Allen for what appeared to be a…read more

Analysis: Allen, who received plenty of attention from the talented New England secondary, did next to nothing aside from his long gain of 24 yards. He had touchdowns in five straight games heading into this one but saw his streak end as the Chargers were surprisingly shut out for the first time since the 2014 season.

Analysis: Sunday marked the fifth consecutive game Allen scored a touchdown, this time snaring a nifty lofted five-yard pass in the back of the end zone after having mostly scored from 10-plus yards out in previous games. The veteran wide receiver needs just one more touchdown to tie his career high set all the way back during his rookie campaign (2013), though challenging other career-high marks might require a bit of good fortune throughout the final five games of the regular season.

Allen caught 16 of 19 targets for 145 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 34-28 win over the Jets. He also lost a fumble.

He averaged just 9.1 yards per reception but produced an excellent yardage total through sheer volume and found the end zone in the third quarter to extend his touchdown streak to four consecutive games.

Allen caught three of his seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the 29-21 loss Sunday to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Allen scored late despite the game already being well out of hand, salvaging a bit of a down day for fantasy managers. The slow pace of the contest played a hand in the 28-year-old seeing a four-game low in targets, but Allen has at least registered scores in all but one of those games. Things should be better in Week 11 as the Jets travel to take on the Chargers.

Allen (illness) caught nine of his 11 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in the 31-26 loss Sunday to the Raiders.
Analysis: Allen was a late add to the team's injury report thanks to an illness, but the wideout was able to pass multiple COVID-19 tests to clear him for the divisional matchup Sunday. It certainly didn't seem to affect Allen, however, as he once again led the team in targets and found his way into the end zone to close out the first half thanks to a bit of shoddy coverage on the part of the Raiders.

Suits up Sunday
Allen (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Analysis: Allen was added to the Chargers' Week 9 injury report Saturday due to a sore throat that led the team to listing him as questionable/illness. Following that, Allen tested negative in back-to-back COVID-19 tests, paving the way for his clearance to suit up Sunday.

Analysis: Allen was knocked out of a Week 5 loss at New Orleans due to back spasms but not before gathering in both of his targets for 29 yards and a touchdown. The catch, target and yardage counts in that game marked season lows for the eighth-year pro, but he clearly benefited from the Chargers' ensuing bye week, logging an LP/LP/FP practice regimen this week before Sunday's outburst.

Allen (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Allen left in the first quarter of the Chargers' Week 5 loss to the Saints due to back spasms, and the injury is apparently still bothering him to some degree two weeks later. That said, the fact that the 28-year-old was involved in practice in some capacity coming off the Chargers' Week 6 bye bodes well for his chances of being available Sunday against the Jaguars. Ideally, Allen would assuage any concern about his status by upgrading to full practice by Friday.

Coach Anthony Lynn said Wednesday that Allen, who dealt with back spasms during Monday's loss to the Saints, will be "fine," Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Chargers don't play again until Oct. 25, which should afford Allen ample time to move past the back injury. Even after departing early Monday, Allen still leads the team with 34 catches on 50 targets for 356 yards to go along with two touchdowns through five games.

Allen was diagnosed with back spasms after suffering the injury on his touchdown reception in Monday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Saints, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Allen finished with two receptions for 29 yards and the score before departing in the first quarter. Because of the NFL's widespread schedule changes in recent days due to COVID-19-related postponements, the Chargers will be on bye Week 6 rather than Week 10, conveniently affording Allen some extra maintenance time before Los Angeles' next game Oct. 25 versus the Jaguars. The expectation is that the wideout will be at or near full health by that point.

Allen caught seven of 10 targets for 96 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: First-round pick Justin Herbert got his first NFL start in place of Tyrod Taylor (chest) and immediately worked to establish chemistry with the Chargers' No.1 receiver, directing a team-high 10 targets Allen's way. It's early, but the team's QB turmoil hasn't disrupted Allen's volume, and he could be poised for a productive Week 3 against a Panthers defense that just allowed Mike Evans to pile up 104 receiving yards and a TD.

Mundane in season opener
Allen tallied four receptions for 37 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Allen did record eight targets, but at least three could be generously deemed "not catchable." It was a disappointing outing for the veteran wide receiver, particularly with the likes of Mike Williams (shoulder) and Hunter Henry able to capitalize on their bountiful target shares to the tune of 142 combined receiving yards. Allen had arguably some of his best outings against the Chiefs (Los Angeles' Week 2 opponent) last season, piling together 17 receptions, 153 receiving yards and two…read more

Inks four-year extension
The Chargers and Allen agreed to a four-year, $80 million extension Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After Allen puts pen to paper on the deal, he'll become the second-highest paid wide receiver in the NFL behind only Julio Jones (while tying Amari Cooper in AAV). Allen is working without Philip Rivers for the first time in his career in 2020, but the 28-year-old still has a clear path to significant targets, whether they come from Tyrod Taylor or rookie first-round pick Justin Herbert.

Still leading the pack
Allen is expected to maintain his role as primary threat in the passing game, Hayley Elwood of the Chargers' official site reports.
Analysis: Allen's role as the team's primary receiving threat was never in doubt, particularly after a third consecutive season with at least 90-plus receptions and 1,190 receiving yards. However, the change from franchise icon Philip Rivers to veteran backup Tyrod Taylor has caused some concern from outsiders, if for no other reason than lack of familiarity. At least when it comes to scheme, expect Allen to be used in exactly the same way, with the possibility of increased production down the road when…read more

Picks up 82 yards, score
Allen caught nine of 10 targets for 82 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-21 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Allen put the Chargers on the board early in the second quarter, skying for a Philip Rivers loft pass and tapping his toes down inbounds as he went to the ground. Despite a disappointing all-around season for Allen, he managed to snag at least five passes in seven consecutive games to close the season and set a new career high with 104 receptions on the campaign. He now heads into an intriguing offseason, as the Chargers get set to play in a new stadium in 2020, potentially without Rivers in…read more

Over 70 receiving yards again
Allen converted five of his 10 targets into 71 receiving yards during Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Allen very nearly had a touchdown in the third quarter, almost hitting the pylon on an 18-yard reception. Melvin Gordon pounded his way into the end zone on the very next play, one of two instances in which Allen got the team within 10 yards of the goal line but didn't score. The 27-year-old has failed to eclipse 100 receiving yards since Week 3, but it's entirely possible Allen could still surpass his lofty 2018 numbers with a positive performance against the Chiefs in Week 17.

Makes nine catches vs. Vikings
Allen caught nine of 10 targets for 99 yards during Sunday's 39-10 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Allen was targeted heavily with his team trailing throughout, and he finished with his best receiving output since Week 3 as a result. His long gain went for just 19 yards, but his heavy usage helped him to a solid day from a fantasy perspective. Allen's big game puts him over 1,000 yards for the season, and he should remain heavily involved during next Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Solid numbers in big win
Allen caught five of six targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 45-10 rout of the Jaguars.
Analysis: The Chargers' backfield was the engine of the offense in this one, and as a result Allen saw only six targets for the second straight game after getting 10 or more in four of the prior five contests. Despite the reduced workload, the veteran receiver posted his highest yardage total since he torched the Texans for 183 yards in Week 3. Allen is now only 53 yards shy of his third straight 1,000-yard campaign, a mark he'll look to reach next week when the Chargers host the Vikings.

Tallies another touchdown
Allen caught all six of his targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Allen rebounded from a four-catch, 18-yard outing against the Broncos in Week 4, taking advantage of broken coverage from cornerback Chris Harris to record his second straight game with at least 60 receiving yards and a touchdown. A possible change at quarterback is about the only thing stopping Allen at this point, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com suggested the Chargers may look to bench Philip Rivers in the event the team continues to struggle.

Scores in defeat
Allen caught eight of 12 targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 24-17 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Allen not only led the Chargers in targets and tied tailback Austin Ekeler for tops in receptions, but he scored his team's only touchdown of the night as well. That came on a seven-yard grab to close the third quarter, giving the veteran receiver his first end-zone trip since Week 3. Allen now sports good momentum heading into Los Angeles' bye week, but when he returns he'll face a Broncos defense that held him to a season-low 18 receiving yards earlier this season.

Paces pass catchers in loss
Allen secured eight of 11 targets for 68 yards in the Chargers' 26-24 loss to the Raiders on Thursday. He also rushed once for 18 yards.
Analysis: Allen paced the Chargers in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, while also logging double-digit looks for the third time in the last four games. Allen's catch and yardage tallies were both his highest since a season-best 13-reception, 183-yard explosion versus the Texans in Week 3, and he'll look to build on Thursday's numbers versus the Chiefs in a Week 11 Monday night showdown on Nov. 18.

Kept in check once again
Allen (hamstring) caught three of his four targets for 40 yards in the 26-11 win over the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: The Chargers didn't need to rely on Allen in Sunday's contest, as the likes of Austin Ekeler, Melvin Gordon, Hunter Henry and Mike Williams were more than enough of a problem for a hopeless Packers defense, resulting in the lowest target total of the season for the former Pro Bowler. Allen should have no problem getting back into the groove next week against a Raiders secondary that has allowed at least 140 receiving yards to wide receivers in all but one game this year.
