Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Dallas Goedert

Monday, October 20, 6:42 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen looked ageless in the team's 38-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, catching 11 of 14 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown. He now ranks 13th in the league in receiving yards and third in receptions, reminding everyone why he's Herbert's most trusted target. After three quieter weeks, Allen thrived in a negative game script as Herbert threw the ball 55 times. Week 8 brings a quick turnaround Thursday night and a tough test against a solid Minnesota Vikings secondary, especially for an aging 33-year-old wideout. Still, Allen's route running, target dominance, and connection with Herbert make him a safe WR2 with WR1 upside, even on short rest.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert cannot be stopped from scoring this season, as he found the end zone for his fourth straight game against the Giants. On top of that, Goedert had his most impressive overall showing yet, racking up nine catches on 11 targets for 110 yards. His next opponent is the Vikings, who are tough on WRs but allow the 13th-most fantasy points to tight ends. In Minnesota's last game, Browns tight end David Njoku led his team in receptions and receiving yards. Goedert has given no reason to doubt his production when it comes to red zone looks, and should be considered a solid TE1 in Week 7.
