Bears' Keenan Allen: Vintage performance Monday
Keenan Allen had six receptions (on 13 targets) for 82 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 30-12 loss to Minnesota.Allen bounced back from last week's dud against the 49ers (3-30-0) with a performance against the Vikings that was reminiscent of his dominant days with the Chargers. After a terribly slow start to the season, the veteran wideout has posted a 23-271-4 receiving line over his last four contests. Allen will attempt to keep his recent string of hot play going Week 16 against the Lions on Sunday.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Held to 30 yards Sunday
Keenan Allen (ankle) brought in three of five of targets for 30 receiving yards in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.Allen overcame a minor ankle injury during the practice week in order to suit up for Sunday's eventual loss. The seasoned veteran posted vanilla numbers on the heels of his two most-productive games. Allen has underwhelmed in Chicago outside of the two aforementioned performances, averaging just 3.7 receptions and 34.7 yards in nine other games this season. Perhaps the 32-year-old has finally lost a step in his 12th year, or his down numbers could simply be the result of the Chicago Bears' overall ineptitude on offense. Whatever the case, Allen checks in as a middling fantasy option ahead of next Monday's road tilt against the Vikings.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Returns as full practice participant
Keenan Allen (ankle) was a full practice participant Thursday.Allen sat out Wednesday's practice due to the ankle issue, but his ability to take every rep a day later likely indicates that his absence to begin Week 14 prep was maintenance-related. Meanwhile, top wideout DJ Moore (quadricep) has sat out both of the Chicago Bears' practices this week, clouding his status for Sunday's game at San Francisco. If Moore's injury forces him to miss his first contest of the season, Allen would likely be in store for an expanded profile in Chicago's passing attack.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Fails to practice Wednesday
Keenan Allen didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.Allen was one of three key Chicago Bears skill-position players along with wideout DJ Moore (quadricep) and running back D'Andre Swift (quadricep) that didn't log any work to begin Week 14 prep. Allen rolled his ankle during a Nov. 22 practice, so his absence Wednesday may be maintenance-related. Still, his status will be monitored as the week goes on to determine whether his availability for Sunday's game at San Francisco may be in question.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Two Thanksgiving touchdowns
Keenan Allen caught five passes for 73 yards and two touchdowns on eight targets in Thursday's 23-20 loss to the Lions.Allen's eight targets were just over half as much target volume as he commanded in Week 12, but the per-target returns were more efficient for Allen against the Lions. The Chicago passing game did next to nothing in the first half, but Allen was very productive in the second half, scoring both of his touchdowns. Although the Chicago Bears offense is still clunky at best, Allen's fantasy prospects have taken a turn for the better by drawing 23 targets over the last two weeks. He'll try to keep rolling at San Francisco in Week 14.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Commands 15 targets
Keenan Allen recorded nine receptions on 15 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings.Allen earned a season-best 15 targets, his third-double digit target total of the campaign. Though he wasn't particularly efficient, he managed to top 45 receiving yards for the first time as a Bear, highlighted by a 40-yard catch and run midway through the first quarter. Allen also tallied his third touchdown of the season with 22 seconds remaining in the game to help set up a remarkable comeback that ultimately fell just short. While it was a positive performance, Allen's track record in Chicago suggests he may not replicate it any time soon.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Active Sunday
Keenan Allen (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.Allen rolled his ankle in practice Friday, and afterward he relayed to Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times that he was dealing with some stiffness. He subsequently was listed as questionable for Week 12 action, but both the wide receiver and coach Matt Eberflus (via Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com) expressed optimism that he'd be able to suit up. Indeed, that has come pass, and Allen now will be taking on a Vikings pass defense Sunday that ranks 28th in the NFL versus the pass (234.8 yards per game).

Bears' Keenan Allen: Looking good for Sunday
Keenan Allen (ankle) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings, but the Chicago Bears are confident he'll be able to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Allen made an early exit from Friday's practice after rolling his ankle, but both he and head coach Matt Eberflus expressed optimism afterward that the wideout would be ready to go for Sunday. With nothing seemingly changing on that front in the day following the Bears' last Week 12 practice, Allen should be formally cleared to play when Chicago releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Since finding the end zone twice in the Bears' Week 6 demolition of the Jaguars, Allen has been held scoreless in the four games following the team's Week 7 bye, turning in a 15-160-0 receiving line on 31 targets during that stretch.

Bears' Keenan Allen: Questionable due to ankle injury
Keenan Allen (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.Allen popped up on the injury report as a limited participant in practice Friday.

When he's healthy, Allen has been outproduced by DJ Moore and Rome Odunze recently in a Chicago Bears passing game that hasn't produced a touchdown since Week 6.
