Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Chris Olave

Thursday, November 30, 3:26 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (quadriceps) is not practicing with the team on Thursday and is instead working off to the side. Allen also missed practice with the team on Wednesday, so he could be in danger of sitting out in Week 13 versus the New England Patriots unless he's able to do more on Friday. The team's top pass-catcher has also played through a shoulder injury in recent weeks, but it hasn't affected his production whatsoever, as he's gone over 100 yards in each of the last three games with 35 receptions (46 targets) and three touchdowns. The veteran wideout is already over 1,000 yards receiving on the year and has added seven touchdowns. Allen is a must-start in all fantasy lineups if he's active in Week 13. If he ends up being out or limited, Jalen Guyton and rookie first-rounder Quentin Johnston would be thrust into bigger roles.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) put in another day of limited practice on Thursday in the portion open to the media. It's great news after Olave left to be evaluated for a head injury in the Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and never returned. It's also pretty significant with Michael Thomas (knee) on Injured Reserve and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) unlikely to play after getting hurt this past Sunday. Olave is the team's unquestioned top receiver when he's active, but he still needs to clear the league's concussion protocol to get the green light to play this Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Even if Olave is able to play, rookie A.T. Perry will be looking at an expanded role with Shaheed expected to be unavailable.
