Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Keon Coleman

Sunday, October 19, 10:19 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen had a huge day in his team's Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts, recording 11 catches for 119 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets. Allen was one of the beneficiaries of the Chargers' high-volume passing day, as Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert attempted 55 passes. The 33-year-old Allen has now hauled in 44 receptions for 435 yards and four touchdowns on 65 targets across seven games this season. With Los Angeles currently playing without its top running back, Omarion Hampton (ankle), the team could continue to find itself in pass-heavy game scripts. That would be a recipe for fantasy success for Allen and the rest of the Chargers' pass-catchers. Los Angeles will have a short week in Week 8, as they play the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman will look to bounce back in Week 6 after cooling off since his explosive eight-catch, 112-yard debut. Over his last four games, Coleman has averaged just 3.3 receptions for 28.5 yards while posting a modest 10.8 yards per catch--a steep drop from his 19.2 average as a rookie. The 22-year-old could see a slight boost in usage if tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) is sidelined, but he'll face a tough test against the Falcons' top-ranked pass defense. Atlanta has stifled opposing wideouts all season, and Coleman's fantasy value will likely hinge on volume and red zone looks. He remains a risky, touchdown-dependent WR4 heading into Monday night's matchup.
