Will Keenan Allen Stay Steady In 2020?
4 years agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has at least 97 catches for at least 1,196 yards in each of the past three seasons, and he's scored exactly six touchdowns in each of those years. But that would've been hard to replicate in 2020, even if it were still Philip Rivers, not Tyrod Taylor under center. The Chargers are expected to run the ball more this year with Taylor as their quarterback, which would lower Allen's fantasy ceiling with fewer targets. Taylor never completed more than 60 passes in any season to any one receiver in his three years as starter for Buffalo. Rivers targeted Allen, on average, 148 times the last three seasons. But with Mike Williams (shoulder) likely out in Week 1 against the Bengals, Allen could see a steady share of targets as Taylor's go-to weapon through the air. He'll be a WR2 in the first game of the season.
