  • 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

  • Lands on COVID-19 list

    Allen, who had been dealing with a hamstring issue, has been placed on the COVID-19 list by the Chargers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: With Allen out for Sunday's season finale, Jalen Guyton (hamstring) and Tyron Johnson should be in line to see added opportunities in the Chargers' Week 17 passing game alongside starting wideout Mike Williams.

  • Still sidelined

    Allen (hamstring) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Coach Anthony Lynn has already acknowledged that there's a "good chance" Allen will be unavailable for Sunday's season finale against Kansas City. If Allen is out this weekend, Jalen Guyton (hamstring) and Tyron Johnson would be in line for added pass-catching opportunities Week 17.

  • Uncertain for season finale

    Allen (hamstring) wasn't spotted on the field at practice Wednesday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, Manzano relays that head coach Anthony Lynn acknowledged that there's a "good chance" Allen "won't be out there" for Sunday's season finale against the Chiefs. If Allen is held out this weekend, added opportunities will be available for fellow receivers Jalen Guyton and Tyron Johnson.

  • Inactive Sunday

    Allen (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: With Allen out Sunday, look for Jalen Guyton, Tyron Johnson and KJ Hill to see added opportunities in the Chargers' Week 16 passing game alongside starting wideout Mike Williams.

  • 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.

  • Listed as questionable

    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. If Allen is limited or out this weekend, added looks would be available for the likes of Jalen Guyton, Tyron Johnson and KJ Hill.

  • Could be game-day call

    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

  • Suiting up Thursday after all

    Allen (hamstring) is listed as active Thursday at Las Vegas.

    Analysis: The Chargers capped Allen's practice reps this week, containing him to limited listings on two of three injury reports. His questionable tag became exactly that when Tom Pelissero of NFL Network noted that the team is treating Allen as a "true game-time decision." Adam Schefter of ESPN later reported that the Chargers were concerned Allen may not be available, but if he was he likely would be limited. With the statuses of both Allen and Mike Williams (back) cleared for Thursday's game, L.A.'s…read more

  • Concern regarding TNF status

    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.

  • Viewed as game-time decision

    The Chargers are treating Allen (hamstring) as a "true game-time decision" for Thursday's contest against the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The same applies to Mike Williams (back), with the report noting that both wide receivers were sore following Week 14 action. With the Chargers on a short week, look for Allen and Williams to be tested out by the team during warmups. Clarity on the statuses of both players should arrive when the Chargers release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes before Thursday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

  • Listed as questionable for Week 15

    Allen (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Raiders after being listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's and Wednesday's estimated practice reports.

    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. More clarity on that front should arrive when the Chargers release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to kickoff.

  • Limited Tuesday

    Allen (hamstring) was limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report.

    Analysis: One day removed from being listed as a non-participant, Allen would have fit in some reps if the Chargers had held practice Tuesday. Considering the upgrade in verbiage, he seems to be trending in the right direction for Thursday's game at Las Vegas, but ultimately Wednesday's report will have the final word on his status.

    Allen (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: Allen was on the field for 57 of the Chargers' 73 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-17 win Sunday over the Falcons, while catching nine of his 11 targets for 52 yards and a TD. We'll revisit the wideout's status once the team hits the field next to see if he's simply managing a minor issue or is in any danger of being limited or out Thursday night against the Raiders.

  • 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

    Allen caught five of 11 targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 45-0 loss so the Patriots.

    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. While Allen has now been held under 50 yards for three consecutive games, each of those matchups has been quite difficult on an individual level. He should have a chance to break out next…read more

  • Continues touchdown streak

    Allen caught just four of his 10 targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in the 27-17 loss Sunday to the Bills.

    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.

  • Makes 16 catches in monster game

    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.

    Analysis: Allen was blanketed with targets and tied a franchise record for receptions in a single game. 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. This monster performance was especially promising after Allen was held in check a bit in his previous outing, and his rapport with Justin Herbert seems to be growing despite some inconsistency over the…read more

  • Scores late in loss

    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.

  • Big game despite loss

    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. It was a bit curious Allen didn't see a single target in the final three minutes of the game, especially…read more

  • 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. With that, the Chargers' heavily targeted pass catcher should remain busy versus the Raiders. To date, Allen has racked up 53 catches (on 75 targets) for 548 yards and three TDs in seven games.

    Analysis: Allen was added to the injury report Saturday due to a sore throat, but COVID-19 protocols kicked in, and since then he's tested negative in back-to-back tests. Now cleared to suit up Week 9, he'll look to take advantage of a Raiders defense that has allowed 9.1 yards per target (eighth worst in the NFL) and seven touchdowns in seven games to wide receivers this season.

    Allen (illness), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, will be eligible to play after testing negative for COVID-19 earlier in the day, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Allen was added to the Chargers' injury report Saturday, not because of a positive COVID-19 test but because he was dealing with a sore throat. The fact that the wideout remains COVID-19 negative at least offers some reassurance about his health, and all indications are that Allen's sore throat won't prevent him from playing this weekend. Assuming he avoids the inactive list ahead of the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, Allen should remain busy in the Los Angeles passing attack after drawing no fewer than…read more

    Analysis: The 28-year-old was added to the injury report Saturday and is officially considered questionable. Allen will need to pass additional COVID-19 testing to have a chance of suiting up Sunday. According to Schefter, the Chargers still hope the veteran wideout will be able to play but are preparing as though he'll be unavailable. Mike Williams and Jalen Guyton would lead Los Angeles' wide receivers if Allen is unable to suit up.

    Analysis: Allen was a late arrival to the injury report thanks to an illness. As of right now it's difficult to speculate what Allen's status could be for Sunday's game, but the fact he was only listed as questionable should be at least slightly reassuring for fantasy managers. Hopefully more clarity will arrive before the team's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

  • Racks up nine catches

    Allen recorded nine receptions on 11 targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Week 8 against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Allen was overshadowed by Mike Williams in terms of yardage, but he still led the team in targets and receptions. He caught his third touchdown of the season on a nine-yard pass over the middle of the field late in the second quarter. Otherwise, he was mostly limited to short gains, with his only deep reception going for 22 yards while again working over the middle of the field. For the season, Allen now has 53 receptions for 548 yards across seven games. He'll look to maintain his strong…read more

  • Surpasses 100-yard mark again

    Allen (back) hauled in 10 of 13 passes for 125 yards during Sunday's 39-29 win against the Jaguars.

    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. On the season, Allen has two outings with double-digit receptions, two 100-yard outings and a pair of touchdowns…read more

  • Good to go this week

    Allen (back) practiced fully Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Coach Anthony Lynn observed that Allen -- who was limited both Wednesday and Thursday -- got better every day this week, per Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register. "Keenan will be fine," Lynn noted Friday. The Chargers' top pass catcher is thus poised to handle his usual workload Sunday, a context that has yielded a PPR-friendly 34/356/2 stat line for Allen through five contests.

  • Logs another limited session

    Allen (back) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Allen has been limited in back-to-back practice sessions, so we'll have to see if he approaches Sunday's game against the Jaguars listed as questionable or free from a Week 7 injury designation. So far, there's nothing to suggest that his availability for the contest is in any peril.

  • Listed as limited participant

    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.

  • Set to practice Wednesday

    Coach Anthony Lynn said that Allen (back) will participate in Wednesday's practice, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Lynn added that Allen, who was forced out of the Chargers' Week 5 loss to the Saints due to back spasms, isn't "100 percent" healthy, a hint that the wideout could begin the week as a limited practice participant. Allen should at least benefit from having the Chargers' Week 6 bye to heal up, but a final decision on his status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars will ultimately come down to how much he's able to progress in practice from Wednesday through Friday.

  • Will be fine, per coach

    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.

  • Contending with back spasms

    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 (back) will not return to Monday's game against the Saints, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Allen recorded two receptions for 29 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game with a back issue. While the severity of the injury is unknown at this time, it is bad enough to keep him sidelined for the remainder of the game. In his absence, rookie Justin Herbert will have to look to the likes of Mike Williams, Jalen Guyton, KJ Hill and Tyron Johnson at receiver.

    Allen is considered questionable to return to Monday's matchup versus the Saints due to a back injury.

    Analysis: Allen caught both of his targets for 29 yards and a touchdown before exiting the contest. It remains to be seen if he will be able to return. In his absence, the Chargers will have Mike Williams, Jalen Guyton, KJ Hill and Tyron Johnson available at wide receiver.

  • Heavy workload in loss

    Allen brought in eight of 12 targets for 62 yards in the Chargers' 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran wideout was due for a busy day with Mike Williams (hamstring) out of action, and he unsurprisingly ended up pacing the team in receptions and targets. Allen has now brought in 28 of 41 targets for 290 yards and a touchdown in three games with Justin Herbert under center after securing four of eight targets for 37 yards in his one game with Tyrod Taylor (ribs/lung) as his quarterback Week 1. Allen will look to keep up his strong connection with Herbert if the latter helms the offense…read more

  • Impressive day despite loss

    Allen caught 13 of his 19 targets for 136 yards and a touchdown in the 21-16 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.

    Analysis: There should be no doubt who Justin Herbert's favorite target is. Allen again proved to be invaluable for the rookie quarterback, routinely creating space with expert route running in the middle of the field. A myriad of crossing routes, which have been a staple in past years, were on full display as well, allowing for the savvy route runner to consistently find a way to get open. Allen and Hunter Henry were Herbert's primary focus, which unsurprisingly accounted for the majority of the targets…read more

  • Just short of 100-yard effort

    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.
