News

  • Held in check in loss

    Allen recorded six receptions for 52 yards on eight targets in Sunday's 35-32 overtime loss to the Raiders.

    Analysis: Allen compiled 25 of his 52 receiving yards on the team's 19-play, 83-yard drive to end regulation, but that essentially counted for all of the veteran's big-play production. Allen finished the 2021 campaign with his fifth consecutive 130-plus target season and also registered 1,100-plus receiving yards and at least 100 receptions for the fourth time in the last five years despite the emergence of Mike Williams and gradual improvement from rookie Joshua Palmer. While Williams became the first…read more

  • 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.

  • Blanketed by Texans

    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.

  • Coach expects Week 15 return

    Coach Brandon Staley expects Allen (illness) to clear COVID-19 protocols in time to play Thursday against the Chiefs, Gilbert Manzano of the Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Allen will need to be removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list in order to suit up, but Staley's optimistic that will happen barring any setbacks. Quarterback Justin Herbert didn't have any trouble carving up the Giants secondary in Allen's absence Sunday, tossing touchdowns to Jalen Guyton, Josh Palmer and Jared Cook en route to a 37-21 win.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Allen (illness) won't be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: While Allen didn't make enough progress in his recovery from COVID-19 to suit up this weekend, the Chargers anticipate fellow wideout Mike Williams coming off the list Saturday, after he was deemed a close contact of Allen. Without Allen, the Chargers will likely rely more on Jalen Guyton and Josh Palmer to pick up snaps at receiver alongside Williams.

  • Could still play Week 14

    Allen (illness), who was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after testing positive for the virus, is vaccinated and could have a chance to clear all protocols prior to the Chargers' Week 14 game against the Giants, Taylor Bisciotti of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Unvaccinated players that test positive are automatically subject to 10-day quarantines, while vaccinated players that test positive are eligible to rejoin their teams as soon as they're asymptomatic for at least 48 hours and able to turn in two negative COVID-19 tests at least 24 hours apart. In the majority of similar cases this season, vaccinated players have typically needed more than a week to clear protocols, but the Steelers' T.J. Watt notably bucked the trend Week 13, returning to the…read more

  • Tests positive for COVID-19

    Allen's placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday was the result of a positive test for the virus, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Allen has been his usual productive self this season -- 86 catches for 929 yards on 124 targets -- but he only had two touchdowns before doubling that number this past Sunday in Cincinnati. Now, his status is in question following Monday's development. Coach Brandon Staley told Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register that Allen is "day-to-day right now, and hopefully we'll have some good news on him in the next few days." A lot of that depends on Allen's vaccination status. If he's able…read more

  • Hits reserve/COVID-19 list

    The Chargers placed Allen (undisclosed) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, Taylor Bisciotti of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The vaccination status of Allen is unclear, but he's now in danger of missing his first game of the season, one day removed from doubling his TD count on the campaign with two scoring strikes this past Sunday at Cincinnati. His status will be one to monitor as the week goes on, but if Allen ends up sidelined Week 14 against the Giants, Jalen Guyton and Josh Palmer would be in line for additional work alongside starting wide receiver Mike Williams.

  • Snares two touchdowns

    Allen tallied four catches on eight targets for 34 yards and two touchdowns in the Chargers' 41-22 win over the Bengals on Sunday.

    Analysis: It's a bit disappointing that in Allen's first game with a touchdown since Week 8 he suddenly saw his fewest targets since mid-October, but he did see a team high in looks as quarterback Justin Herbert spread the ball around plenty. It'll be interesting to see the type of workload Allen will receive next week against a hapless Giants team that did not have starting quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) and also saw backup Mike Glennon leave Sunday's matchup with a concussion. Facing an opponent…read more

  • Tops in receiving again

    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.

  • Leads team in receiving

    Allen caught nine of his 12 targets for 112 yards in Sunday's 41-37 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: After a bit of an uneven stretch to the season, Allen appears to be hitting his stride with 35 receptions and 391 receiving yards in the last four games. With four straight games of double-digit targets, it's clear the veteran wide receiver's role is relatively established even after off games from the offense each of the previous three weeks, but it's hard to imagine an uptick in touchdowns coming with Austin Ekeler, Mike Williams and an assortment of tight ends all emerging as priorities near…read more

  • Falls short of century mark Sunday

    Allen caught eight of 11 targets for 98 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: He just missed producing his second straight 100-yard performance and his fourth of the season, but Allen still led the Bolts in receptions, targets and yards. The veteran wideout is well on his way to another 100-catch season heading into a Week 11 tilt against the Steelers.

  • Active for Week 10

    Allen (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Analysis: With that, Allen, who caught 12 of his 13 targets for 104 yards in last weekend's win over the Eagles, is in line to suit up Sunday and barring any setbacks will be in line to log starter's snaps alongside Mike Williams. Through eight games this season, Allen has held up his end up the PPR bargain by averaging 75 receiving yards on 10.3 targets per game while catching 57passes and two TDs in that span.

  • Slated to play in Week 10

    Coach Brandon Staley expects Allen (knee) to suit up Sunday against the Vikings, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Allen officially is questionable to play after logging a pair of limited practices Thursday and Friday. He's been good for a significant target share on a weekly basis this season, earning at least eight in seven of eight games. Such volume could reap rewards versus a Minnesota defense that has conceded 8.7 YPT to wide receivers this season (ninth-most in the NFL).

  • Listed as questionable, expected to play

    Though listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Allen (knee) is expected to play in the contest according to coach Brandon Staley, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Allen didn't practice Wednesday, but he logged limited sessions Thursday and Friday. Though Staley's optimism regarding the wideout's week 10 availability is encouraging, it still will be worth verifying Allen's status in advance of Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. With a 57-600-2 stat line through eight games to date, Allen remains a PPR asset, given the steady playing time and target volume he normally garners.

    Analysis: Those relying on Allen in the fantasy realm needn't panic too much about this questionable designation, as coach Brandon Staley said Friday that he expects Allen to play, per Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times. Allen didn't practice Wednesday but was subsequently able to log limited sessions Thursday and Friday.

    Analysis: Allen didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to the field Thursday bodes well for his chances of playing in Sunday's game against the Vikings.

    Allen (knee) returned to practice Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: It remains to be seen how the Chargers list Allen's official participation level, but his return to the field Thursday, in any capacity, is a good sign after the wideout sat out Wednesday's practice.

  • No practice Wednesday

    Allen didn't practice Wednesday due to a knee injury, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Analysis: Miller speculates that Allen was held out mostly as a precaution, a notion that would be supported by a return to the practice field on the wideout's part -- in any capacity -- come Thursday. In the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Eagles, Allen was on the field for 62 of a possible 69 snaps and caught 12 of his 13 targets for 104 yards. Overall, he's averaging 75 receiving yards on 10.3 targets per game.

    Allen caught 12 of 13 targets for 104 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: It's the fifth time in eight games Allen has seen double-digit targets, but it's the first time he's reached triple digits in receiving yards since Week 2. The 29-year-old has 57 catches for exactly 600 yards and two TDs on the season heading into a Week 10 clash with the Vikings.

  • Leading receiver in loss

    Allen snared six of his 11 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the 27-24 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.

    Analysis: It's at least reassuring for fantasy managers Allen can survive a poor outing offensively from the Chargers, as the veteran receiver caught five passes for 50 yards in the demoralizing Week 6 drubbing by the Ravens before a similarly lackluster team performance Sunday. The Patriots' run-heavy approach seemed to discombobulate the Chargers' rhythm as quarterback Justin Herbert completed only 51 percent of his pass attempts, but the confusion seemed to impact Mike Williams (two catches for 19…read more

  • Five catches in lopsided loss

    Allen caught all five of his targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Allen actually led the Chargers in receiving yards, but the team's entire offense couldn't get anything going in the blowout loss. After reaching the 100-yard mark in each of the first two games, Allen has topped 50 only once in the past four, as Mike Williams has established himself as the go-to guy in Los Angeles' passing game heading into the team's Week 7 bye.

    Analysis: Allen has at least six catches in all but one game this season, but the veteran stalwart did take a backseat Sunday to Mike Williams' career-high 16 targets. The bevy of looks gave the aforementioned big-bodied Williams two 40-plus yard receptions, but Allen also got in on the action, catching a critical 37-yard deep pass on the team's second-to-final possession of the game. While it's not a statistic that rewards points for fantasy managers, Allen was particularly critical on third down and…read more

  • Makes seven grabs

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

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.

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.

    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.

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.

    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.

Allen will need to pass additional COVID-19 testing to have a chance of suiting up Sunday.

    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.

    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 again proved to be invaluable for the rookie quarterback, routinely creating space with expert route running in the middle of the field.

    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.

His long gain went for just 19 yards, but his heavy usage helped him to a solid day from a fantasy perspective.

  • 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.
