Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Jakobi Meyers

Friday, November 14, 5:47 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen enters Week 11 as the franchise's all-time receptions leader, but his fantasy production remains concerning. Allen has caught four or fewer passes in his last three games, with only 15 targets during that span and just one red-zone target. Although he faces a vulnerable Jacksonville Jaguars secondary that has struggled to defend big plays, his significantly reduced snap share and route rate limit the volume he needs to succeed for fantasy managers. While he might have a favorable individual matchup against Jaguars cornerback Montaric Brown, who is allowing a 13.5-yard average depth of target (ADOT), the overall decrease in usage downgrades him to a high-end WR4/FLEX option. Setting expectations accordingly is wise, as he is no longer the volume-dependent starter he was earlier in the season.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers walks into an immediate opportunity to dominate the target share as they face the Houston Texans in Week 10. Meyers joins a wide receiver room absent of Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) and Travis Hunter (knee). The Jaguars are averaging just 215.3 yards per game through the air, but Meyers' biggest competition for targets this week is 23-year-old Parker Washington. Trevor Lawrence and the offense face a tough test against a Texans defense that is allowing just 177.5 passing yards per game and ranks fourth with nine interceptions on the year. Meyers is a must-start option this week, as Lawrence tests out his new weapon on day one.
