News: 1 day agoAllen caught three of his five passes for 32 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Raiders.

Spin: Up until the final throw of the game, a 51-yard dime to Joshua Palmer to seal the win, Allen was easily the team's top target as the Chargers largely sat on a massive first-half lead that evaporated quickly over the final 30 minutes. While the veteran's five targets were easily his lowest this season, quarterback Justin Herbert attempted only 24 passes total thanks mostly to game script. With Mike Williams (knee) on injured reserve, expect the passing attack to lean heavily on Allen until the youngsters like Quentin Johnston and Derius Davis get more acclimated to the offense.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Allen is entering his 11th NFL season after an up-and-down 2022 campaign in which he missed seven early-season games due to injury but produced elite numbers once back on the field. In fact, Allen finished eight consecutive weeks top 30 in scoring at WR and ranked third at the position in fantasy PPG (18.8) during the span. This after Allen finished the prior five seasons no lower than 13th in targets, receptions and fantasy points. Allen is now 31 years old and has missed 11 games due to injury over the last three seasons, but he's still positioned as a featured target in an elite offense. Allen has the look of a high-floor WR2 in PPR formats.
