Bears' Keenan Allen: Leading receiver in Week 10 loss
Keenan Allen caught five of six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Patriots.While his production was modest, it was was enough to lead Chicago in catches and receiving yards, and the 44 yards were actually a season high for the former Charger. Injuries along the offensive line have completely sabotaged the Chicago Bears' offense -- Caleb Williams was sacked nine times Sunday -- but Allen's reliability as a possession receiver at least allows him to maintain a decent PPR floor. Unless the offensive line gets healthier though, it will be tough to rely on any part of the Chicago offense heading into a Week 11 rivalry game against Green Bay.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Abysmal showing against Arizona
Keenan Allen recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 29-9 loss to Arizona.Allen led the Chicago Bears in targets and commanded his highest total since Week 1. However, that didn't help him get on track with Caleb Williams as he averaged only 3.6 yards per target despite decent gains of 13 and 11 yards. Allen has managed to surpass 40 yards in a game just once in six chances on the campaign.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Can't get going with seven targets
Keenan Allen recorded two receptions on seven targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Commanders.Allen led the team with seven targets -- his highest mark since Week 1 -- a particularly notable total given that Caleb Williams took to the air only 24 times. His stat line left plenty to be desired, though he did manage a key 22-yard reception late in the fourth quarter to set up a go-ahead touchdown. Despite some reasons for optimism, Allen has yet to record more than 41 receiving yards in a game this season.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Breakout effort in London win
Keenan Allen brought in all five targets for 41 yards and two touchdowns in the Chicago Bears' 35-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday in London.The veteran wideout finally had his first truly productive showing in a Bears uniform, with Allen securing touchdown grabs of nine and three yards in the third and fourth quarters, respectively. Allen finished tied with Cole Kmet for the team lead in receptions and second to his teammate in receiving yards while posting season-high totals in both categories. Allen's fantasy value is still likely to be capped on the weeks he doesn't get into the end zone, but Sunday's performance at least affords him some much-needed momentum heading into a Week 7 bye.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Just three catches again
Keenan Allen caught three of six targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Panthers.Allen set a season high in receiving yards, but he has yet to post a breakout performance with the Chicago Bears. A two-game absence due to a heel injury contributed to his slow start, so at least Allen appears healthy after suiting up for each of Chicago's last two games. The veteran wide receiver has a nice opportunity to get on track in a Week 6 London matchup against a weak Jacksonville secondary.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Three grabs in return
Keenan Allen brought in all three targets for 19 yards in the Chicago Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.Making his return from a two-game absence due to a heel injury, Allen was a complementary piece of the passing attack on a day when Caleb Williams threw for only 157 yards and a touchdown. Despite the modest numbers Sunday, fantasy managers can take some solace in the fact DJ Moore and Rome Odunze, Allen's fellow wideouts, combined for just four catches and 32 receiving yards in their own right. Allen could have a larger role in a favorable Week 5 home matchup against the Panthers.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Active in Week 4
Keenan Allen (heel) is active for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Rams.The veteran wideout was able to work back to a full practice Friday after opening the week with consecutive limited sessions, and his Week 4 return now is official. Allen will be taking the field for the first time since Week 1, when he provided a 4-29-0 line on 11 targets. With Allen back in the fold Sunday, rookie first-round pick Rome Odunze, who's coming off a career-best 6-112-1 line against the Colts in Week 3, is expected to slide back into a No. 3 receiver role versus Los Angeles.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Plans to play in Week 4
Keenan Allen (heel), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Rams, is planning on playing, per NFL Insider Jordan Schultz.Allen was reportedly already expected to give it a go in Week 4 after missing the Chicago Bears' last two contests due to a heel injury, but head coach Matt Eberflus confirmed Saturday that the plan is for the wide receiver to play. The 32-year-old caught four of 11 targets for 29 yards in Week 1 versus the Titans, and he'll look to build off of that against Los Angeles.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Expected to play
The Chicago Bears expect Keenan Allen to play Sunday against the Rams, and the wideout said he doesn't think his heel injury will continue bothering him this year, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.Allen is listed as questionable after missing the past two games, but an upgrade to full practice participation Friday suggests he might be closer to 'probable' if the designation still existed. His optimism about any lingering hinderance shouldn't necessarily be shared by fantasy managers, considering Allen dealt with a similar problem in his heel/foot late last season and has been bothered by the current injury through most of August and September. He drew 11 targets in the season opener, but the Bears may consider scaling back his workload -- both in terms of snaps and targets -- if they're worried about Allen aggravating his heel injury and missing additional time. It sounds like only a late setback would land him on the inactive list ahead of a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Listed as questionable after FP
Keenan Allen (heel) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams after upgrading to full practice participation Friday.Players that finish the week as full participants almost always play, but Allen's case remains worth monitoring given that his heel problems date back to last season and may be a lingering theme this year. He caught four of 11 targets for 29 yards in a Week 1 win over the Titans before aggravating his injury in the fourth quarter and missing the next two games. If Allen avoids the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, his presence will lower volume projections for all of Chicago's other pass catchers while knocking DeAndre Carter out of his spot in three-wide sets. Fellow wideout Rome Odunze has avoided a designation on the final injury report after a hip issue limited his practice participation Thursday.
