Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or John Ross

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.

The Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday released veteran wide receiver John Ross (undisclosed) from their practice squad. Ross was active for one game with the Eagles this year and caught one of his two targets for a six-yard pickup and had been on the practice-squad injured list due to an undisclosed ailment since Oct. 21. The 29-year-old speedster will now go back on the open market and he's unlikely to sign with another team with only five weeks remaining in the 2024 season. The former ninth overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals back in 2017 out of Washington played in 10 games (one start) with the New York Giants back in 2021 and had 11 receptions on 20 targets for 224 yards and one touchdown. Ross did have seven scores in his second season in 2018 with Cincy and had a career-high 506 receiving yards the following year, but that was the extent of his production in the NFL.
