Should I Start Keenan Allen?

Tuesday, November 10, 8:55 AM

The San Francisco 49ers have traded for wide receiver Keenan Allen, sending a 2027 sixth-round pick to the Indianapolis Colts, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. Through nine weeks, the 14-year veteran led the Colts with 40 receptions on 59 targets, and in San Francisco he should continue to be featured as part of a wide receiver corps that has been rocked by injury. Despite the adversity surrounding him, quarterback Brock Purdy has played at a near-MVP level, and with Mike Evans (Achilles, ribs) still sidelined by Achilles soreness and broken ribs, Allen could make an immediate impact for a team whose leading receivers have been tight end George Kittle and running back Christian McCaffrey.
