Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Jayden Reed

Friday, September 12, 11:51 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen had seven catches for 68 yards in the Week 1 win over the Chiefs. While he wasn't as productive as Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston, the veteran wideout had a team-high 10 targets while finding the end zone in the third quarter off of an 11-yard throw from Justin Herbert. With a win in the books, Los Angeles will face Las Vegas in Week 2 in another AFC West showdown. Geno Smith played well in the win over the Patriots. However, the defense still struggled at times, especially defending the pass. Not much is expected to change on that front on Monday night. It's apparent Allen and Herbert still have strong on-field chemistry. With that in mind, the 33-year-old appears to have some gas left in the tank, making him worthy of a spot in all fantasy lineups in Week 2.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (collarbone) is looking at a multiple month absence. According to Ian Rapoport, Reed was given a six-to-eight week timetable to return. Reed suffered a broken collarbone during the Week 2 win over the Washington Commanders. This timeframe means that Reed is likely out until some point in November. Fantasy managers can go ahead and place Reed on their IR if they haven't already. The good news is that Reed isn't going to be done for the season. His absence should mean increased roles for Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft.
