Allen snared six of his 11 targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in the 27-24 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
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 yards on five attempts) far more than the ever-reliable Allen. It'll be interesting to see if the offense will become more efficient in what figures to be a favorable matchup next week against the Eagles.
