Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has been a fantasy stud throughout his 10-year NFL career, and his fantasy managers are anxious to get him back after he suffered a hamstring injury in Week 1.
The Chargers offense hasn't been firing on all cylinders in his absence, so the latest news regarding his status will be significant for Justin Herbert and the fantasy football community.
Allen has been mostly healthy after a troubling injury history early in his career, but will the 3o-year-old wideout be ready to go for Week 4?

Is Keenan Allen Playing In Week 4 against the Texans?
Allen is expected to miss a third straight game with a hamstring injury. The longtime Charger could be back any week now, but fantasy managers will have to bench him at least one more time.
Chargers ruled out WR Keenan Allen for Sunday’s game against the Texans due to his hamstring injury.

It's worth noting Allen could be an awesome trade candidate if his fantasy manager in your league is growing frustrated with him taking up a roster spot. If you do roster him, be patient, as he'll be back soon, and hasn't been placed on IR.
Should I Start Josh Palmer In Week 4?
After drawing eight targets for six catches and 99 yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Palmers is very much on the fantasy radar. The Texans aren't statically a favorable matchup for wide receivers, but Houston has only played bottom-of-the-barrel passing attacks in Denver, Chicago, and Indianapolis. That said, Palmer is a great flex option in one of the league's highest-ceiling offenses.

Mike Williams has been disappointing in Allen's absence, but he has every chance to smash in this game too. Tight end Gerald Everett is another strong option, and wide receiver DeAndre Carter can be considered in deep leagues.
Ultimately, this should be a get-right game for the LA offense and Herbert, so fantasy managers and DFSers should want exposure to Chargers' offensive weapons' in Week 4.
