The Los Angeles Chargers added Keenan Allen to their injury report after Week 14's 24-7 loss to the Denver Broncos. Not only Allen is injured, but quarterback Justin Herbert is set to miss the rest of the season due to a fracture to his right index finger.
Apparently, Allen is dealing with a heel injury. This is another setback for the Chargers, who are 5-8 on the season and are unlikely to make the playoffs. The Chargers have lost three of their last four games and pressure has risen on head coach Brandon Staley, who could get fired after the season.
How serious is the 31-year-old receiver's injury? Will he play in Week 15 against the Las Vegas Raiders? Let's take a look.

Keenan Allen Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Keenan Allen didn't practice on Monday, as the team is taking a cautious approach because of his injury. The Chargers play the Raiders on Thursday, and the wide receiver is currently questionable to play in that game.
After playing just 10 games last season, Allen has managed to stay healthy this year and hasn't missed a single game. He has been their most consistent player this season and has been a valuable addition to many managers' fantasy teams.
Although it is a short turnaround for Allen to recover from his injury, he should be able to play this week. With Justin Herbert out, the team requires contributions from other star players, and the star wide receiver is one of them.
Keenan Allen Fantasy Football Outlook
So far in 13 games this season, Keenan Allen has 108 receptions for 1,243 yards and has scored seven touchdowns on 150 targets. He is averaging 11.5 yards per reception and 95.6 receiving yards per game this season. Heading into the fantasy football playoffs, Allen has recorded a total of 170.9 points in the Half-PPR scoring league and is just behind Tyreek Hill and CeeDee Lamb.
The Chargers receiver has had great success playing against the Raiders in his career. In 18 games against them, he has 106 receptions for 1,178 yards and eight touchdowns while averaging 65.4 receiving yards per game.
The injury to Herbert has come at a very bad time for all the managers that have Allen on their team. Easton Stick is set to be the Chargers quarterback for the rest of the season, and that could negatively impact the veteran receiver's production.
