Keenan Allen News
Monday, September 7, 5:25 PM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen spent most of the summer as a free agent before signing with Indianapolis in mid-August. The veteran wideout's tenure with the Colts has not gotten off to the cleanest start, as he was arrested on drunken driving charges on August 30. However, no league discipline for Allen has been announced and the Colts reportedly expect him to play in Week 1. As he enters his age-34 season, Allen is no longer the same player he once was at his peak. Still, he's logged over 120 targets in each of the past two seasons and finished 2025 with 81 catches for 777 yards and four touchdowns across 17 games with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Colts have talented pass-catchers in tight end Tyler Warren and wide receivers Alec Pierce (ankle) and Josh Downs, but the team lacks an established number one option after trading away wideout Michael Pittman Jr. over the offseason. As long as he's active, Allen profiles as a high-floor deep-league wide receiver option.

KC Concepcion News
Friday, September 11, 10:34 AM
Cleveland Browns head coach Todd Monken said on Friday that rookie first-round wide receiver KC Concepcion will get all the work as the team's punt returner in the Week 1 season opener on Sunday against the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Scott Petrak of The Chronicle Telegram. Monken added that the Browns will play their best players "in every scenario." Cleveland's QB picture is not ideal for a rookie wideout coming into the league, but the 21-year-old Concepcion received plenty of training camp buzz this summer and could be the Browns' leading wideout when all is said and done in 2026. The 24th overall pick in April out of Texas A&M had 25 total touchdowns in his three collegiate seasons (first two years at North Carolina State) and added 919 receiving yards on 61 receptions in 13 games with the Aggies in 2025. He is locked into a top-three role heading into Week 1 alongside fellow rookie Denzel Boston and Jerry Jeudy, and fantasy managers should consider him an upside WR4/flex option in his NFL debut this weekend.
