Keenan Allen Has A Chance To Play Sunday
3 years agoLos Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is vaccinated, so he still has a chance to play in Week 14 against the New York Giants, according to a source. Allen landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, and he'll need to be asymptomatic and return two negative tests 24 hours apart in order to be cleared to play this Sunday. Fantasy managers could still have him available as a strong WR2 option in Week 14, but making backup plans would be wise. Allen is the WR18 in fantasy and is coming off a two-touchdown game. He ranks third in WR targets with 124 and is a must-start if he gains clearance. If he does not, Mike Williams and Jalen Guyton would see a boost in targets, while rookie Joshua Palmer would also see the field more. Guyton is worth a waiver pickup if you have Allen rostered or need help at receiver this week.
