Keenan Allen Goes Nuclear In Week 3

Sunday, September 24, 5:23 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen had an enormous game in a Week 3 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Allen was targeted 20 times, making 18 catches for 215 yards. He also completed a 49-yard pass for a touchdown, the first of his career. Allen was projected to have a big game because of an excellent matchup against the Vikings zone defense, but he exceeded expectations in this one. He should have another big game in Week 4 at home against the Raiders. Allen remains a strong WR1 option every week.

Cam Akers Unlikely To Make Vikings Debut In Week 3

Friday, September 22, 2:40 PM

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said it's too soon for running back Cam Akers to make his team debut in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Chargers this Sunday after the team just acquired him in a trade from the Los Angeles Rams earlier this week. Akers will likely be inactive with an eye toward playing in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers. Akers' fantasy value could be salvaged this year as a complement to Alexander Mattison after wearing out his welcome with the Rams, but fantasy managers must remember that the 24-year-old now has to learn a completely new offense in short order. Mattison will continue to operate as Minnesota's clear lead back this Sunday, with Ty Chandler serving as a change-of-pace option in the backfield.
