Keenan Allen Injury Update for Fantasy Football
After sitting out practice last week, Allen was held out of the team's Week 2 loss to the Texans. The fact he's being held out of practices this week suggests that he won't play this week, right?
Yeah, probably.
Matt Eberflus said there's no clear timeline for Keenan Allen's return. It's a matter of pain tolerance and they won't bring Allen back until it's right for the veteran WR

It sounds like the Bears are set to play it as safe as they can with Allen. The way head coach Matt Eberflus is talking about the injuries makes it sound like a matter of weeks, not days.
Fantasy managers should proceed as if they won't have Keenan Allen on the football field on Sunday.
Keenan Allen Fantasy Football Outlook
If we assume Allen is out, the Bears passing attack remains simplified, with D.J. Moore as the No. 1 receiver and Rome Odunze as the No. 2. Odunze has been limited with a knee injury but played through it last week.
