Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Corey Clement

Friday, November 28, 5:35 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was a rare bright spot in the team's disastrous loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, leading the team with four receptions for 53 yards on six targets. Despite his route rate recently increasing, Allen's target rate has stabilized at around five targets per game, and he has only seen one red-zone target over the last four contests, limiting his overall upside. He faces a favorable matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, who play zone coverage at the second-highest rate in the league. Allen is significantly more effective against zone coverage than man, making him a reliable, high-floor target for the often under-pressure Justin Herbert. RotoBaller ranks Allen as WR41 this week, reflecting concerns over his decreased usage and limited red-zone opportunities. Given his favorable zone matchup and reliability in moving the chains, Allen can be considered a sneaky FLEX option.

Arizona Cardinals running back Corey Clement has been elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The Cardinals have decided to bring up the veteran back as a reinforcement with Emari Demercado (toe) ruled out for this game. The expectation is that Keaontay Ingram will get a majority of the snaps in the backfield. Possibly, Clement gets mixed in a little, but it shouldn't be enough to warrant streaming in any fantasy formats.
