Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or JuJu Smith-Schuster

Friday, December 19, 10:12 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen remains a focal point for Justin Herbert, leading the team with seven targets in his last outing. However, his fantasy floor is fragile, as he posted a season-low 43.1% snap share and has seen only two red-zone targets in his last seven games. The Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys is favorable, as Dallas ranks 30th in EPA/Pass and fifth in completion percentage allowed. While the porous Cowboys secondary boosts the outlook for all Chargers pass-catchers, Allen's limited route participation makes him a touchdown-dependent option in an offense that has favored the ground game. RotoBaller has Allen ranked as the WR41 this week. He is a viable deep-league streamer or FLEX candidate in PPR formats.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has fallen off the fantasy radar after three lower-volume outings. The veteran receiver saw his snap share fall from 63 percent to 36 percent when Rashee Rice returned from suspension in Week 7, and he's been held to fewer than one-third of the snaps ever since then. During that three-week span, he had six total catches, bottoming out last week with just one target, one catch, and two receiving yards. The 28-year-old now finds himself behind Rice, Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, and Marquise Brown in the pecking order. As long as those pass catchers stay healthy, Smith-Schuster will remain off the fantasy radar on the other side of the Chiefs' Week 10 bye.
