Chargers' Keenan Allen: Limited by destructive defense
Keenan Allen caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in the 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles on Monday.The veteran led all Charger wideouts in receiving yards Monday, as quarterback Justin Herbert was under constant duress and got sacked seven times. Los Angeles' offensive line issues make it difficult for any pass catcher to maintain consistent fantasy value week to week, and that will likely be a problem in Week 15 as well against a feisty Kansas City defense.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Sporadic usage in win
Keenan Allen caught four of his five targets for 30 yards in the 31-14 win over the Raiders on Sunday.Allen was his usual reliable self on third down, specifically in the first half, but the veteran was hardly needed as the Raiders offense continually stalled out. Justin Herbert fractured his left hand during the first half, an injury that will require surgery Monday. Head coach Jim Harbaugh and Herbert are hopeful the quarterback will be available in a critical Week 14 bout against the Eagles, but Allen's fantasy value arguably takes the biggest hit if the starting quarterback misses time. The 33-year-old has failed to see more than six targets in a game dating back to Week 8.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Leads team in receiving in loss
Keenan Allen caught four of six targets for 53 yards in the Los Angeles Chargers' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.Allen paced Los Angeles in targets, catches and receiving yards on a day when Justin Herbert was under constant duress, completing just 10 of 18 passes for 81 scoreless yards and one interception prior to being removed from the game in the fourth quarter of the blowout defeat in favor of Trey Lance. Prior to Sunday, Allen hadn't topped 50 yards receiving in a game since Week 7, and he's gone without a touchdown in four consecutive contests. With the emergence of Oronde Gadsden and Quentin Johnston's return to health, Allen has taken more of a back seat in the passing game of late. The Chargers will now head into their Week 12 bye.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Sets franchise reception record
Keenan Allen had two receptions on five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 25-10 win over Pittsburgh.It was another low-volume game from Allen following last week's two-catch performance, finishing with five or fewer targets for the third straight contest. The 19 receiving yards also marked a new single-game low in what has been a productive return to the club that drafted the veteran wideout back in 2013. The longtime Charger set a franchise record by surpassing Antonio Gates as the all-time leader in receptions with his 956th catch in 12 years with the club. Allen will attempt to ramp his production back up in a soft matchup against the Jaguars next Sunday.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: One long catch
Keenan Allen recorded two receptions on five targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.Justin Herbert distributed targets evenly among his top pass catchers, as Allen tied for second on the team in targets with Oronde Gadsden and Quentin Johnston. Allen finished with the lowest yardage total of that group, with nearly all of his production coming on a 31-yard catch late in the first quarter. After a hot start to the season, Allen has now recorded 50 receiving yards or fewer in three of the last four games.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Finishes with four catches Thursday
Keenan Allen brought in four of five targets for 44 yards in the Los Angeles Chargers' 37-10 win over the Vikings on Thursday night.Ladd McConkey and Oronde Gadsden posted a combined 11-165-2 line, which rendered Allen a clear tertiary component of the air attack on the night. Nevertheless, the veteran receiver continued to offer serviceable real-world and fantasy production -- all of his receptions Thursday resulted in first downs -- and he extended his season-opening streak of games with at least four receptions to eight contests overall. Allen will take a 48-479-4 line on 70 targets into a Week 9 road matchup against the Titans on Sunday, Nov. 2.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Season-best numbers in Week 7 loss
Keenan Allen caught 11 of 14 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts.The targets, catches and yards were all season highs for the veteran wideout, who was Justin Herbert's most reliable option in the second half as the Los Angeles Chargers tried to mount a comeback from a 23-3 halftime deficit. Allen snapped a three-game scoring drought with the performance, and he'll carry a 44-435-4 line on 65 targets through seven contests into a Week 8 clash with a Vikings secondary that just surrendered a combined 13-304-3 line to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Chargers' Keenan Allen: Leading receiver on nine targets
Keenan Allen brought in five of nine targets for 58 yards in Sunday's 27-10 loss to Washington.Allen finished as the Los Angeles Chargers' leading receiver in an overall forgettable offensive performance, resulting in middling fantasy numbers for managers Sunday. The veteran starter failed to hit pay dirt for the second week in a row after kicking off the campaign with a three-game scoring streak. Allen is still providing a solid fantasy floor by averaging 8.8 targets/game in his return to the Chargers, making him a safe option for next Sunday's tilt against Miami.
