Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Calvin Ridley

Saturday, November 16, 5:29 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen will be looking to bounce back in Week 11 as he faces off against a challenging Green Bay Packers secondary. After a frustrating performance in Week 10 against the New England Patriots where Allen saw six targets but only hauled in five catches for 44 yards he's eager to get back on track, especially now that he's adjusting to his new team. This week, a significant shift for the Bears is the firing of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, who was just nine games into his tenure. The Bears promoted passing game coordinator Thomas Brown to take over as offensive coordinator, hoping this change will spark a more dynamic and productive offense, which should benefit Allen in the long run. However, Chicago's offensive line is still dealing with key injuries and is unlikely to be at full strength on Sunday, which could limit the overall effectiveness of the offense. While you may be stuck starting Allen due to a lack of better options, managing expectations is essential. This week could be a pivotal moment to see how the coaching change affects the Bears' offense and how Allen fits into the new scheme.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley caught four of six targets for 58 yards in a 10-point loss to Minnesota on Sunday. It was the first time in three weeks that Ridley didn't pull through for fantasy managers, as he had a modest output with only 7.8 half-PPR points. The former Falcon drew consistent double-teams, which allowed his teammate Nick Westbrook-Ikhine to break free for a few big plays, but the veteran was not able to continue his streak of double-digit fantasy points in Week 11. Ridley still tied for the team lead in targets with six, but he may have a tough time producing next week in a division-rivalry matchup with the Houston Texans.
