Should You Start or Sit Keenan Allen in Week 17?
Allen has cleared 20 PPR points in four of his last five, and it hasn’t come in an unsustainable way. In fact, you could argue that he has underachieved based on the volume (190.1 expected points over that stretch compared to 173.4).
The exact role he fills week to week can vary (five end zone targets over the past two weeks after earning just one in his previous five games), but with over 100 air yards on his résumé in four of five games — and Chicago routinely playing from behind — there’s a nice built-in floor here that you can bank in as a PPR Flex option.
