Keenan Allen Fantasy Football Outlook
Keenan Allen eclipsed 10,000 yards in 2023, recording 108 catches for 1,243 yards and 8 Touchdowns, serving as Justin Herbert's primary target in 2023. Allen was 5th in WR PPG, scoring 13.1 PPR points per game, en route to a WR11 finish. Allen would have likely scored higher were it not for a few games missed due to injury. Despite being 32 years old, Keenan proved he is still an elite route runner.

Allen was the engine of the Chargers' offense and showed elite upside with massive games of 31.1, 40.5, and 45.5 PPR points. Through the preseason and camp, it's become clear that Allen and Moore are the 2 top WRs and will be the first 2 WRs on the field, with Odunze coming in for 3 WR sets. New Bears OC Shane Waldron loves 2 TE sets. Though Moore provides competition, Allen is still elite and should become a target monster for Caleb Williams shortly.
Aaron Jones Fantasy Football Outlook
Though Aaron Jones has produced well when healthy, he struggled with recurring issues in 2023, repeatedly injuring his hamstring. Hamstring injuries are very difficult to overcome and the reinjury rate is high. Jones disappointed by missing 6 full games in 2023 and being a non-factor in two others due to injury. However, he did still have elite explosiveness and gashed the Cowboys for a ridiculous 21/118/3 line after finishing the season strong.

Jones' health is crucial to his production in 2024, but even if he's healthy, Jones hasn't had a large workload for the majority of his career, and given that he's now 30, it's likely the Vikings will limit his workload. The Vikings under Head Coach Kevin O'Connell have historically been pass-happy, especially in the red zone.
Stefon Diggs Fantasy Football Outlook
Stefon Diggs got off to a hot start before his production collapsed and fell off a cliff in 2023. He was on the field less and less efficient overall and likely was dealing with an injury that was only described vaguely. Diggs was a monster to start off the 2023 season though, and still displayed elite receiver traits.

He produced as Allen's only main target though, and now faces much stiffer competition in Nico Collins and Tank Dell, who were elite playmakers last season.
Who Should I Draft in Fantasy Football?
It can be a tough decision to decide between Keenan Allen, Aaron Jones, and Stefon Diggs this season. Often, the answer lies within their ADPs. Keenan Allen presents the best value by far of these three players. With an ADP of 73, 20 spots lower than Jones and 39 spots lower than Diggs, Allen is a fantastic value.
He's still elite. He'll likely be on the field quite often and run a high number of routes in 2024. Caleb Williams has flashed in the preseason. He could have more volume than Diggs and is more reliable than Jones considering Jones' injury history.
If you have to choose between these three players, choose Keenan Allen at cost for your drafts in 2024.
