The Los Angeles Chargers will visit the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Keenan Allen.
Is Allen Playing in Week 16?
Allen is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Chargers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Allen in Week 16?
We saw Keenan Allen catch five of seven targets at Arrowhead last weekend and if you are going to tell me that the Bolts are going to make a deep run this winter, their veteran receiver is going to factor in.
But he shouldn’t be factoring into your playoff run.
Allen has scored just once after opening 2025 with a TD in three straight and there’s simply no upside in the looks he does get (one reception gaining more than 12 yards over his past five games).
Adonai Mitchell and Luther Burden are two names in the vicinity of where I have Allen ranked this week and I wouldn’t hesitate to plug in their upside over the limited, chain moving profile of Los Angeles’ wily vet.
