Should You Start or Sit Keenan Allen in Week 15?
Allen has one game this season with 20+ expected PPR points, and it was Week 12’s meeting with these Vikings (26.7 expected points and 23.6 produced points). He’s been unable to capitalize on the form he showed in that game in the two contests since (103 yards on 76 routes), and that makes him a long shot to repeat his past success.
In that first performance, Allen’s veteran savvy helped him earn a 37.5% on-field third down target share — Caleb Williams was locked onto him when it mattered most. I find it hard to think that the exotic stylings of the Minnesota defense don’t adjust to getting burned by Allen less than a month ago; with Rome Odunze producing in garbage time last week, it appears that Williams is comfortable taking whatever the defense gives him.
Chicago enters this game with an implied point total of under 20, leaving me with little faith that we see multiple pass catchers from this offense produce viable numbers. How lucky do you feel?
It has to be luckier than I — Allen is my WR39 this week, ranking in the Elijah Moore and Adam Thielen tier at the position.
