Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Brandin Cooks

Friday, June 12, 6:02 AM

Veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen has caught more than 1,000 passes in his 13-year career, but with minicamp sessions concluding around the league, the six-time Pro Bowler remains a free agent. Now, however, as teams enter the six-week summer hiatus before training camp, Allen's name is one to monitor, as coaches and general managers look to put the finishing touches on their 2026 rosters. Los Angeles Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz had recently suggested that the door might still be open for a potential reunion, and on Thursday, ESPN's Colts reporter Stephen Holder noted that Indianapolis could still be mulling over the addition of another receiver, specifically naming Allen and Deebo Samuel Sr. as potential options. With the Colts trading away their leading-target earner from each of the past five seasons in Michael Pittman Jr., Allen would seem a natural fit as another big body in the intermediate area of the field, but as he remains unsigned to this point, the 34-year-old wideout is RotoBaller's dynasty WR111.
