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

Monday, November 3, 5:32 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was quiet in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Tennessee Titans, catching just two passes for 41 yards on five targets. His snap share has decreased for a second straight week as fellow wideout Ladd McConkey and rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden are seeing more opportunities. Still, Allen remains Justin Herbert's most trusted chain-mover. He might rebound next Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers, especially if Herbert relies on quicker throws behind a battered offensive line. The Steelers' pass rush is improving, and Allen's reliability on short routes could keep him as a stable PPR option despite the reduced volume. Consider him a low-end WR3 with a consistent floor heading into Week 10.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has seen his role in the offense decrease over the last few weeks. Smith-Schuster was playing over 60 percent of the offensive snaps through the first six games of the season. However, Smith-Schuster has taken a backseat with the return of Rashee Rice. The 28-year-old has fallen to fourth on the depth chart where there isn't as much action for him. Smith-Schuster has been held to five receptions for 64 yards and zero touchdowns over the last two games. His role in the offense figures to be minimal going forward with the Chiefs offense healthy again.
