Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Kenneth Walker III

Saturday, December 6, 4:18 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen continues to see a decrease in usage, following a performance of four receptions for 30 yards on five targets against the Las Vegas Raiders, averaging just 7.5 yards per catch. His longest reception was only 10 yards, and his limited opportunities are further emphasized by having only one red-zone target in his last five games. Allen faces a tough Philadelphia Eagles secondary in a game expected to be run-heavy, regardless of whether Justin Herbert (hand) or backup Trey Lance is under center. If Lance starts, a drop in production from all receivers is anticipated. RotoBaller ranks Allen as WR39 this week. While he remains a dependable option for chain-moving targets, the combination of his decreasing usage, limited red zone chances, and smaller aDOT makes Allen a risky low-end WR4 with little upside.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has been able to rank as an RB2 in fantasy football despite sharing touches with Zach Charbonnet, and that trend should continue in Week 14 against the Atlanta Falcons. Walker has been impressive lately, tallying double-digit fantasy points (PPR) in each of his last three games. During that three-week span, he has 40 carries, 194 rushing yards, nine catches, 92 receiving yards, and one touchdown. He has consistently played around 55% to 60% of the offensive snaps, leaving roughly 10 touches and a snap share around 40% for Charbonnet. The two have shown that they can co-exist, with Walker still being the preferred option out of the backfield. This week, he can be a strong RB2 option against a Falcons defense that has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to running backs in 2025. Walker ranks as the overall RB18 in RotoBaller's latest rankings for Week 14. He should be started with confidence in most leagues.
