Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Ja'Marr Chase

Thursday, December 26, 11:43 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen was reasonably involved within the offense in Thursday's 6-3 loss against the Seattle Seahawks, though disappointed in the production. The 32-year-old pass catcher tied for a team-high eight targets, though only caught five passes for 25 yards receiving. Allen struggled to gain momentum throughout the game as the defense swarmed him on every reception. Entering Thursday's contest, the veteran wideout was coming in hot, catching 15 passes for 223 yards and two touchdowns in the previous two games. Overall, Allen has caught 67 passes for 719 yards and seven touchdowns over 14 games during his first season in Chicago. Allen will hope to bounce back in Week 18 as his Bears will end the season against the Green Bay Packers.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had 102 yards off nine catches in Saturday's overtime victory over Denver. Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II was all over Chase in Week 17. However, he still had a serviceable fantasy performance. With the Bengals sitting at 8-8, Cincinnati needs a win over the Steelers in Week 18 to keep their playoff hopes alive. The 24-year-old had six catches for 86 yards and a touchdown when these clubs met back on December 1. But as is the case with Chase, he is always capable of having big performances.
