Keenan Allen NEWS
Keenan Allen, Gerald Everett Good To Go
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) and tight end Gerald Everett (groin) were removed from Friday's final injury report and will play in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Allen had a successful return to action in the Week 11 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching five of his eight targets for 94 yards, although he did lose a fumble. With Mike Williams (ankle) out this weekend, Allen should see heavy volume and will be in play as a WR2 for fantasy managers. Everett will return after missing the last game and will face a Cardinals defense that was just torched by San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle. Everett will be in play as a borderline TE1/2 streamer in his return.
Nov 25, 2022 • 11:39 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Practices In Full Wednesday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Allen had a successful return to action in the Week 11 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night, catching five of his eight targets for 94 yards while also losing a costly fumble. It's more good news that Allen didn't suffer any setbacks with his hamstring injury, so he should be good to go for a Week 12 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. The 30-year-old should be consistently targeted by quarterback Justin Herbert the rest of the season, and he could see even more looks this weekend after Mike Williams aggravated his ankle injury. Fantasy managers should consider Allen a low-end WR2 play in Week 12 with more upside in PPR leagues.
Nov 24, 2022 • 12:11 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen, Mike Williams Officially Active For Week 11
Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) are active for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs despite being listed as questionable. Allen has played in just two games this season, catching six passes for 77 yards. He is a solid WR2 when healthy, but at the age of 30, he is no longer a guaranteed commodity in fantasy football. On the other hand, Williams has quickly asserted himself as a flashy, high-upside option. The 28-year-old has totaled 495 yards and three touchdowns this season, and while he has a relatively low floor, he should still be viewed as a high-end WR2 on a weekly basis.
Nov 20, 2022 • 11:54 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Intends To Play On Sunday Night
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) stated he intends to play on Sunday night against the Chiefs, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The wideout has appeared in only two games this season due to a nagging hamstring ailment, which has also caused Justin Herbert to struggle. With that said, Allen's official designation may not come until after lineups lock, so fantasy managers may want to consider keeping him on the bench in Week 11 in case he suffers a setback.
Nov 20, 2022 • 6:12 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen, Mike Williams Officially Questionable
Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) both practiced in full on Friday and are officially listed as questionable for a Week 11 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Allen expressed confidence in his availability for Sunday night but added that it will ultimately be up to the coaching staff, while Williams stated that he "should be out there". This is excellent news for fantasy managers of the two wideouts as well as those rostering quarterback Justin Herbert. If active, both Allen and Williams will immediately have WR2 value in a potential divisional shootout.
Nov 19, 2022 • 2:07 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen, Mike Williams Practice Again Thursday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) both practiced on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Allen and Williams were limited on Wednesday and will likely be listed as limited again on Thursday. It's great news, though, as they both have a shot at playing in the Sunday night showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, fantasy managers may have some tough decisions to make this weekend if Allen and Williams are game-time decisions on Sunday night. And even if they're active, you'll run the risk of both of them having their snaps limited in their first game back. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter have been adequate as quarterback Justin Herbert's top two wideouts with Allen and Williams sidelined, but they'll be risky flex options if Allen and Williams are back against KC.
Nov 17, 2022 • 10:08 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen, Mike Williams Return To Individual Drills
Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) returned to individual drills at practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Brandon Staley. The Chargers expected both Allen and Williams to return to practice this week, but it remains to be seen if they'll be able to play on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. Both wideouts were officially limited, but they'll be extra risky starting options in fantasy if they're questionable on the final injury report for Sunday night's game. Allen has been an absolute bust for fantasy managers this year while playing in only parts of two games. If both Allen and Williams return, it will be a massive boost for quarterback Justin Herbert. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter have seen expanded roles with both Allen and Williams sidelined.
Nov 17, 2022 • 12:11 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen, Mike Williams Should Practice This Week
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) should return to practice this week. Allen injured his hamstring in the season opener, returned in Week 7 to play 23 offensive snaps and hasn't played since. Meanwhile, Williams sustained a high-ankle sprain in Week 7 and hasn't played since. Getting his top two receivers back on the field would be huge for quarterback Justin Herbert and his fantasy upside, while Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would go back to complementary roles in the passing game. Allen's fantasy managers want to see it before they believe it, and Allen has previously stated he won't return until he's 100 percent healthy. Keep a close eye on both wideouts' practice statuses this week.
Nov 15, 2022 • 12:18 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen To Miss Another Game
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for the Sunday night game against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10 after missing practice all week. Mike Williams (ankle) remains on Injured Reserve, so Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will continue to be attractive flex plays as the Bolts top two pass-catchers. Allen has been a monumental fantasy bust this year, playing in only two games and catching all six of his targets for 77 scoreless yards. He continues to say that he won't return to the field until he's 100 percent past his hamstring injury, so it's anyone's guess as to when that will be. The 30-year-old must remain stashed in all leagues, and we can only hope he'll contribute at some point during the 2022 fantasy season.
Nov 11, 2022 • 11:28 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Still Day-To-Day, Misses Another Practice
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Brandon Staley. The team continues to label him day-to-day, but Allen has to be the most frustrating player to roster in fantasy this year. The 30-year-old injured his hamstring in the season opener and didn't return until Week 7, when he played just 32 percent of the offensive snaps and caught both of his targets for 11 yards. He says he won't return to game action until he's 100 percent healthy, so who knows when that may be. There's no guarantee that he'll play in Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night, so fantasy managers shouldn't be banking on him. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would continue to see starting roles if Allen is out. Mike Williams (ankle) remains on Injured Reserve.
Nov 9, 2022 • 11:34 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Trending Up, Won't Require IR Stint
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is "close to turning the corner" and won't be placed on injured reserve, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. Allen has only played parts of two games this season, and to make matters worse, the Chargers are also without Mike Williams (ankle). Once he returns, Allen can be viewed as a fringe WR2.
Nov 6, 2022 • 7:00 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Ruled Out Against Falcons
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons. Believe it or not, Allen actually made his hamstring worse during the bye week while training and will miss yet another game after returning in Week 7 for the first time since the season opener. It's been a trying year for Allen and his fantasy managers in 2022, and we can only hope he'll make it back in Week 10 to face the San Francisco 49ers. With Allen out again this weekend, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter should see big roles in the passing game with Mike Williams (ankle) still on Injured Reserve. Palmer and Carter will both have upside as flex options for fantasy managers.
Nov 4, 2022 • 8:15 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Remains Sidelined During Thursday's Practice
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) remained on the sideline for Thursday's practice. At this point, it's anyone's guess when Allen is going to play. He somehow re-aggravated his hamstring injury on a bye week. The 30-year-old has played in two games this season. The fact he missed Thursday's practice likely points to Allen being a game-time decision this week. Josh Palmer and DeAndre Carter will continue to benefit with the Chargers shorthanded at wideout.
Nov 3, 2022 • 11:02 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Won't Return Until He's 100 Percent
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) said his hamstring injury got worse during last week's bye while training. Allen said the next time he goes into a game it won't be on a snap count and that it will be all or nothing with his hamstring absolutely ready to go. He said he felt great going into Week 7 but wasn't 100 percent. The 30-year-old returned two weeks ago for the first time since the season opener but played only 32 percent of the offensive snaps and caught two passes for 11 yards. He missed practice on Wednesday and doesn't appear to be on the right track to play on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Joshua Palmer, who has cleared the concussion protocol, and DeAndre Carter figure to be the top two pass-catchers with Mike Williams (ankle) still on Injured Reserve.
Nov 3, 2022 • 12:19 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Won't Practice Wednesday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) will not practice on Wednesday and is listed as day-to-day, according to head coach Brandon Staley. "We are being careful with him. It hasn't responded the way we have wanted," Staley said. Allen's fantasy managers have to be rolling their eyes again, especially with the Chargers coming off their bye. The 30-year-old returned in Week 7 for the first time since the season opener and caught both of his targets for only 11 yards on 32 percent of the offensive snaps. If he's able to practice later this week and play in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons, he could be at risk of being on a snap count once again, which would obviously make him a volatile fantasy option.
Nov 2, 2022 • 10:37 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Doesn't Practice Monday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) did not practice on Monday. Allen returned in Week 7 in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks for the first time since the season opener, but he played just 32 percent of the offensive snaps and caught both of his targets for 11 yards. The Bolts were on bye in Week 8, so fantasy managers will be hoping that the 30-year-old will be closer to full strength this weekend against the Atlanta Falcons on the road. It's not a great sign that Allen isn't practicing on Monday, but we'll get a better idea of where he's at once the team releases their first official practice report on Wednesday. With Mike Williams (ankle) sidelined, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would be LA's top wideouts if Allen is limited again in Week 9.
Oct 31, 2022 • 11:22 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Catches Two Passes Before Sitting Out Second Half
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was active in Week 7 for the first time since the season opener and hauled in both of his targets for 11 yards in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Allen was limited in practice all week and was considered a game-time decision, and although he got the start, the 30-year-old was held out in the second half as he was on a snap count. With the Chargers on bye next week, Allen will have two weeks to recover and hopefully will be a full-go against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10.
Oct 24, 2022 • 1:31 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Will Play In Week 7
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is officially active for Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks. He had been listed as questionable and there was some speculation that he would miss Sunday's contest. However, after testing his hamstring pregame, Allen evidently feels good enough to play. As he told Bridget Condon of NFL Network, "it's a go." The veteran immediately ranks as a solid WR2 option in fantasy football.
Oct 23, 2022 • 6:46 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Is Trending In The Right Direction
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is trending positive for the Week 7 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. He is still considered a game-time decision, but the team appears to be optimistic about Allen. The veteran receiver has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 1. Sadly, the Chargers don't play until the second wave of games on Sunday. That means, many fantasy managers are going to be forced to make a judgment call on Allen. This sounds like it's the closest Allen has been to playing since suffering the injury. Despite that, fantasy managers won't get a final answer until Allen gets a chance to get on the field.
Oct 23, 2022 • 2:56 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Could Be Held Out Again Sunday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) could be held out of Sunday's game as a precaution, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Allen, who is listed as questionable, wants to test out his injury pregame, but the Chargers are cognizant of the fact that they are on bye next week, so resting Allen one more game would give him an additional two weeks to recover. The 30-year-old hasn't played since Week 1. Mike Williams has looked good in his absence, ranking as a solid WR2 on a weekly basis.
Oct 23, 2022 • 12:08 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Questionable Again This Week
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) has been deemed questionable to play in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks. Allen hasn't played since the season opener and will be a game-time decision on Sunday against Seattle, making him yet again an extremely shaky option for starting fantasy lineups, especially with the game coming in the late-afternoon slate. The 30-year-old had been targeting this weekend for his return, but if he doesn't feel right in pre-game warmups, he might be held out again. And with Joshua Palmer (concussion) already ruled out, it could mean a very big workload for DeAndre Carter, who would be in play as an upside flex option if Allen is sidelined yet again.
Oct 21, 2022 • 10:04 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Remains Limited Thursday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He hasn't played since Week 1 due to a hamstring injury. The 30-year-old has one more chance to log a full practice. The Chargers could be cautious with Allen and hold him out with the team on the bye in Week 8. He is eyeing a return this Sunday, but it remains to be seen if the veteran will be active for Sunday's contest against the Seattle Seahawks. Josh Palmer (concussion) did not practice Thursday; if Allen and Palmer are ruled out, DeAndre Carter could see an uptick in targets in Week 7.
Oct 21, 2022 • 12:55 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Officially Limited Wednesday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was officially listed as limited in practice on Wednesday. Allen put in three limited practices last week before sitting out again on Monday night in Week 6, and he hasn't played since the season opener. However, he's eyeing a return in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks, barring any setbacks later this week. But fantasy managers need to keep backup options in place, as the 30-year-old could decide to be cautious and sit out yet another week. With Joshua Palmer in the concussion protocol and tight ends Gerald Everett and Donald Parham Jr. on the injury report as well, the Chargers could be thin on pass-catchers this weekend. If both Allen and Palmer are out on Sunday, DeAndre Carter would be in line for a big role.
Oct 20, 2022 • 12:11 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Likely To Practice This Week
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is on pace to practice this week, according to head coach Brandon Staley. The 30-year-old has played in only one game this season as he continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue. The Chargers have been playing it extremely cautious with Allen. This is obviously a frustrating situation for fantasy managers, but it sounds like Allen is finally making progress. He'd be a low-end WR2, assuming he's actually able to suit up against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7. Fantasy managers will need to continue to monitor his status throughout the week.
Oct 18, 2022 • 10:41 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Officially Ruled Out For Monday Night
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) will officially be inactive on Monday night against the division-rival Denver Broncos in Week 6, according to a source. Allen is hoping to return in Week 7 against the Seattle Seahawks. Allen came into Monday's game with a doubtful tag, so fantasy managers should have already had him on their benches. The 30-year-old has been unable to return since tweaking his hammy in Week 1. In his absence, Mike Williams, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter have operated as quarterback Justin Herbert's top three receivers. Palmer and Carter will continue to be flex options on Monday night, while Williams is a must-start.
Oct 17, 2022 • 9:59 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Doubtful For Week 6
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) has been listed as doubtful ahead of a Week 6 matchup with the Denver Broncos. Allen was a limited participant in practice all week. Although he has missed the past four games in full, the veteran wideout was nearing a return in Week 4 before suffering a setback with his hamstring injury. Allen himself stated that he did not expect to play on Monday night, so the team listing him as doubtful comes as no surprise. Mike Williams, Joshua Palmer, and Gerald Everett will likely continue to see an uptick in volume for at least another week.
Oct 15, 2022 • 10:24 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Doesn't Expect To Play Monday Night
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for the Monday night game in Week 6 against the division-rival Denver Broncos, hasn't played since the season opener. "I doubt it, but it's in the air," Allen said when asked if he would return from his hamstring injury this week. The 30-year-old pass-catcher said he aggravated his hamstring injury in practice leading up to the Week 4 game. Fantasy managers need to plant Allen on their benches again this week and hope that he can return in Week 7 to face the Seattle Seahawks. Mike Williams remains a must-start with Allen sidelined, while Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter should continue to see more targets with Allen unlikely to play again this week.
Oct 15, 2022 • 5:03 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Considered Questionable For Monday Night
As of now, the Los Angeles Chargers are considering wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) questionable for the Monday night game against the division-rival Denver Broncos in Week 6. Allen has made progress, but the Chargers are being cautious with him. If he feels any apprehension, they will hold him out for a fifth straight game. The 30-year-old has been limited in practice so far this week, but he will likely be a true game-time decision on Monday night, making him very tough to rely on yet again for fantasy managers. Pick up Joshua Palmer or DeAndre Carter if you want to take it down to the wire on Monday night. Mike Williams will remain a must-start in fantasy if Allen misses yet another game.
Oct 14, 2022 • 4:18 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Limited During Thursday's Practice
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was limited during Thursday's practice. He was able to do individual drills on Wednesday, so it sounds like Allen is making progress. Head coach Brandon Staley is calling Allen day-to-day, but that doesn't really mean too much. Luckily for Allen, the Chargers don't play until Monday night against the Denver Broncos. He'll get an extra day to rest and prepare, assuming he isn't ruled out before then. Fantasy managers will have to stay tuned and see how Allen responds after this limited practice.
Oct 13, 2022 • 10:25 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Does Individual Drills Wednesday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) took part in individual drills in practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Brandon Staley. It's nice to see Allen putting in some work, but he remains day-to-day and questionable for the Monday night game against the Denver Broncos in Week 6 after not playing since tweaking his hamstring in Week 1. The 30-year-old is making progress, but he still could be unlikely to play this week, and with the game being on Monday, fantasy managers need to have other options on the ready. No. 1 wideout Mike Williams will continue to have a higher ceiling and is a must-start if Allen misses another game, while wideouts Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will continue to be boom/bust flex options in deeper leagues.
Oct 13, 2022 • 12:11 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Remains Day-To-Day
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring), who has been out since injuring his hamstring in the season opener, remains day-to-day. Staley said Allen is dealing with a frustrating soft-tissue injury, and the team wants to make sure it heals. It's been a frustrating situation for fantasy managers, and it won't get any easier next Monday night in Week 6 against the Denver Broncos if Allen is questionable to play. Mike Williams, who has reached the 100-yard mark in three of the four games that Allen has missed, will remain a must-start in fantasy if Allen misses any more time. Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will continue to see more opportunities as well. Keep track of Allen's practice status throughout the week.
Oct 10, 2022 • 11:01 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Ruled Out For Week 5
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was unable to practice all week and has now been declared out ahead of the team's Week 5 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. The five-time Pro-Bowler was seemingly nearing a return in Week 4, but suffered a setback late last week and will now miss his fourth consecutive contest. Joshua Palmer (ankle) and Gerald Everett figure to benefit the most from Allen's absence, but DeAndre Carter could see a boost in opportunities if Palmer is ruled out as well.
Oct 7, 2022 • 9:49 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Misses Another Practice
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was not able to suit up for Thursday's practice. The 30-year-old hasn't been able to do much since aggravating his hamstring last Thursday. That being said, fantasy managers should consider Allen doubtful for the Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Joshua Palmer and Gerald Everett are expected to pick up the slack, assuming Allen sits out another week.
Oct 6, 2022 • 10:47 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Misses Practice Wednesday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) did not participate in the team's practice on Wednesday. Allen has been nursing a hamstring injury that he sustained in the season opener. He appeared to be on track to return in Week 4, but unfortunately suffered a setback late last week and was sidelined on Sunday. It's currently unclear if Allen will practice at all this week, so fantasy managers should prepare to be without him once again. If the 30-year-old veteran misses a fourth consecutive game, wide receiver Joshua Palmer and tight end Gerald Everett will continue to be viable fantasy options.
Oct 5, 2022 • 10:10 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Considered Day-To-Day
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is currently considered day-to-day after missing each of the last two weeks. It sounds like Allen was progressing well, but suffered a setback late last week which caused him to sit out in Week 4. The organization continues to be cautious with Allen, so fantasy managers won't have a better idea on his status until later in the week. Fantasy managers shouldn't count on his return for the Week 5 matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
Oct 4, 2022 • 10:21 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen To Miss His Third Straight Game
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for the Week 4 contest against the Houston Texans. Allen was off to a good start earlier in the week when he put in back-to-back limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday, but a DNP at Friday's practice sealed his fate. His fantasy managers can only hope he'll return in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns. Mike Williams, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will continue to serve as quarterback Justin Herbert's top three pass-catchers in a good matchup against the Texans this weekend. Williams is a must-start despite catching only one pass in Week 3, while Palmer will once again be an intriguing upside flex option after going for six catches on nine targets for 99 yards last week.
Sep 30, 2022 • 10:25 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Limited Again Thursday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was limited for the second straight day in practice this week on Thursday. However, Allen reportedly left practice early with a trainer near the end of the period of practice open to the media. The 30-year-old hasn't played since tweaking his hamstring in the season opener, and he'll likely be listed as questionable for the Week 4 contest against the Houston Texans. The good news is Allen has done more so far in practice this week, and the Bolts' game is on the early slate this Sunday, so fantasy managers will know right away if he's active. If Allen returns against Houston, he should once again be one of quarterback Justin Herbert's go-to options in the passing game.
Sep 30, 2022 • 12:03 AM | RotoBallerJustin Herbert, Keenan Allen Limited On Wednesday
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) and wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) were limited participants in Wednesday's practice. Herbert didn't suffer any setbacks in the Week 3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars as he continued to play through fractured rib cartilage. The 24-year-old will most likely be limited all week, but barring any new issues will suit up in Week 4 against the Houston Texans. Allen hasn't played since Week 1 after suffering a hamstring injury. The 30-year-old will have two more chances of logging a full practice to increase his chances of playing on Sunday. Josh Palmer will continue to start opposite Mike Williams while Allen is sidelined.
Sep 29, 2022 • 1:54 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Should Return To Practice This Week
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) should return to practice this week. Allen was injured in the season opener and has missed the last two games, but it sounds like he'll have a good shot at returning in Week 4 to face the Houston Texans. When the 30-year-old veteran does return, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter will have a tougher time finding consistent targets from quarterback Justin Herbert. The Bolts entire offense struggled in the blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3, and they only scored one offensive touchdown. Mike Williams, who stepped up in Week 2, caught just one of six targets, although it went for a 15-yard touchdown.
Sep 26, 2022 • 11:17 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen, Donald Parham Jr. Inactive In Week 3
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) and tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) are both inactive for Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Allen, listed as questionable, hasn't played since Week 1 when he caught four passes for 66 yards before exiting earlier. Meanwhile, Parham hasn't played at all this season. In his absence, the Chargers promoted Richard Rodgers to the active roster. He and rookie Tre' McKitty should occupy depth roles behind Gerald Everett this week.
Sep 25, 2022 • 6:45 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Questionable To Face Jaguars
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is listed as questionable to play in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before sitting out on Friday. Head coach Brandon Staley said that Allen is 50-50 to play on Sunday, and on top of it, the Chargers don't play one of the early games this weekend. If you decide to roll the dice with Allen in your starting lineup, you need to have an emergency backup plan in place. Quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) is also questionable, so the fantasy value of all Chargers offensive skill players could drop significantly if Herbert doesn't play. If Allen misses his second straight game, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter would once again see more targets in the passing game.
Sep 23, 2022 • 10:07 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Logs Limited Practice Session On Thursday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) logged another limited practice session on Thursday. Allen continues to work his way back from a hamstring injury sustained during the season-opener against the Raiders. Fortunately, the wideout appears to be moving in the right direction, although he's far from getting the green light for the Week 3 meeting with Jacksonville. With that in mind, if Allen can play, he should be in every fantasy lineup imaginable. However, if he isn't in uniform on Sunday, Mike Williams, who had eight catches for 113 yards and a touchdown in Week 2, could be in store for another productive outing. Gerald Everett could also get more involved, with the veteran accumulating nine catches for 125 yards and a touchdown this season.
Sep 23, 2022 • 1:20 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen, Donald Parham Jr. Doing Individual Work
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) and tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) will do individual work at practice on Wednesday. Allen missed the Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, while Parham has yet to play this year. Both players are still very questionable for Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the fact that they are even doing anything on Wednesday is a good sign. Mike Williams stepped up with eight catches (10 targets) for 113 yards and a touchdown last week with Allen sidelined, and he'd likely be quarterback Justin Herbert's go-to target again if Allen misses another contest. Check back later this week for an update on Allen's status heading into Sunday's game.
Sep 21, 2022 • 9:09 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Officially Ruled Out For Week 2
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is officially out for Thursday night's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran suffered the injury last week in the Chargers' 24-19 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. While he held out hope of playing against the Chiefs, the Chargers are being cautious and sitting their top receiver. With a short week, Allen had almost no chance of playing. However, he could be ready to go in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. With Allen out of the lineup, Mike Williams, Joshua Palmer, and DeAndre Carter all will see an uptick in snaps and targets tomorrow night.
Sep 14, 2022 • 6:58 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Misses Tuesday's Practice
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) did not practice on Tuesday. Allen left his team's Week 1 game against the Las Vegas Raiders in the first half with the injury and did not return to action. Although an MRI did not show major issues with the hamstring, his missed practice on Tuesday is not a good sign for his availability for Thursday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Fantasy managers rostering Allen should be planning to be without their star receiver in Week 2, although he hasn't been ruled out officially. Look for Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter to see increased targets if Allen is out.
Sep 14, 2022 • 1:10 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen May Have Avoided Long-Term Injury
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Week 2 on Thursday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, but there is optimism after his MRI exam that his injury isn't a long-term issue, according to sources. With the Chargers' next game after this Thursday not until Sept. 25 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Allen will have two full weeks to rest after getting injured in the Week 1 win over the Raiders. Fantasy managers should put the 30-year-old on their benches for Week 2 action, but it's great news that he could be back as soon as Week 3. With Allen likely out this Thursday in what should be a high-scoring game, DeAndre Carter and Joshua Palmer will be much more attractive as deep-league flex plays behind Mike Williams. Tight end Gerald Everett will have a higher ceiling as a streamer as well.
Sep 13, 2022 • 4:25 PM | RotoBallerChargers Preparing For Keenan Allen To Sit Thursday
The Los Angeles Chargers are preparing as if five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) won't play on Thursday night football in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a source. "Given that it's a hamstring and such a short turnaround, it would be unlikely," the source said. The source added that it's also "plausible he could be a go." Fantasy managers should have already been planning for Allen to miss Thursday's game after being ruled out in the first half of the Week 1 win over the Raiders. This early in the year, it makes no sense for the Bolts to rush one of their best playmakers back too soon. He was listed as a DNP on Monday's practice estimation. With Allen likely out in Week 2, DeAndre Carter and Joshua Palmer will become much more attractive as deep-league flexes behind Mike Williams in what could easily develop into a shootout between two high-powered offenses.
Sep 13, 2022 • 4:31 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen, Donald Parham Jr. Listed As DNPs Monday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring), tight end Donald Parham Jr. (hamstring) and cornerback J.C. Jackson (ankle) were all listed as DNPs for Monday's estimated practice report. Allen injured his hamstring in the Week 1 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday in the first half, but there remains a small chance that he could play on a quick turnaround this Thursday against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2. We should know more on his status on Tuesday, but fantasy managers should already be making plans to be without him. Wideouts DeAndre Carter and Joshua Palmer will become more attractive flex plays against KC if Allen is inactive. Parham was inactive on Sunday and looks to be headed for another game on the sidelines this Thursday.
Sep 12, 2022 • 11:26 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Undergoing MRI Exam Monday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) will have an MRI exam on his hamstring on Monday after being ruled out of the Week 1 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in the first half, according to a source. With the Chargers playing on Thursday night in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs, it makes sense for Allen to rest up. However, Monday's tests will reveal the full extent of the injury and whether he'll actually have a chance to play on a short turnaround. Fantasy managers should already be planning for Allen to be unavailable in Week 2, but hopefully he'll be able to play as early as Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If Allen is inactive in Week 2, both Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter, who caught three passes for 64 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Raiders, will be more attractive as deep-league flex plays in what could easily become a high-scoring game against KC.
Sep 12, 2022 • 8:01 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Says His Hamstring Injury Isn't Serious
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen suffered a hamstring injury that forced him to exit the team's Week 1 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in the first half. Allen claimed after the game that his injury is not serious but head coach Brandon Staley said the severity is not yet known. Until more information is revealed, consider Allen's status for Week 2 highly questionable as the Chargers will play the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday night after a short week.
Sep 12, 2022 • 1:25 AM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Won't Return On Sunday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Allen was on a roll before going down with a hamstring ailment in the first half, accumulating four receptions for 66 yards. Although he will undergo further testing, he may not have time to get healthy enough to play on Thursday night versus the Kansas City Chiefs. If that's the case, Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler should see extra targets from Justin Herbert. However, DeAndre Carter and Gerald Everett, who each had a touchdown in Week 1, could also benefit.
Sep 11, 2022 • 10:16 PM | RotoBallerKeenan Allen Questionable To Return Against Vegas
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's showdown against the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran was having a fantastic outing before the injury, catching all four of his targets for 66 yards. Nonetheless, if Allen can't make it back in Week 1, Mike Williams, Austin Ekeler, and DeAndre Carter, who had three catches for 64 yards and a touchdown in the first half, should get more attention from Justin Herbert.
