The San Francisco 49ers will face the Chicago Bears in Week 14. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Brandon Allen.
Is Brandon Allen Playing in Week 14?

Should You Start or Sit Brandon Allen in Week 14?
Brock Purdy returned on Sunday night to face a strong Bills defense in near-impossible weather conditions. It wasn’t an ideal return spot, but he seemed to make it through the contest without a setback, and that puts him in line to start this week.
The 49ers are now two full games behind the Seahawks for the division, giving them little room for error — Allen isn’t going to see the field in these times of desperation unless the train really comes off the track.
