Keenan Allen Questionable With Illness
4 years agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (illness) has been added to the team's injury report and is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the division-rival Raiders. Allen's fantasy managers must now formulate a backup plan in case he's ruled out on Sunday. He ranks 18th in overall fantasy points and is fourth in the NFL among receivers with 75 targets, so losing Allen for this divisional contest would be a big blow to the Bolts and rookie quarterback Justin Herbert. If he cannot get cleared in time, Mike Williams would have WR1 upside, while Jalen Guyton would also be worth more consideration as a deep league sleeper play as a deep threat. Tight end Hunter Henry would also benefit from more looks if Allen was ruled inactive.
