Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Malik Nabers

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen had a standout performance this Sunday against the struggling Jacksonville Jaguars secondary, delivering his best game of the season. He recorded five catches for 41 yards and two touchdowns, marking his first touchdown as a Bear. After starting the season with an injury, Allen looks to have regained his health. His early-season heel injury had sidelined him for two of the first five games, and even after returning in Week 4, he didn't appear to be fully himself. Both touchdowns came in the red zone, highlighting his potential as a significant threat near the goal line when healthy. The Bears will enjoy a bye week next week before taking on the Commanders in Week 8.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (concussion, hamstring) was evaluated by an independent neurologist on Thursday and has cleared the league's concussion protocol. Nabers was also listed with a hamstring injury on Thursday, but he practiced in full after being limited on Wednesday and should be in the clear to play this Sunday against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. It's great news for Nabers' fantasy managers and the Giants offense in general, as the 21-year-old contributed 35 receptions on 52 targets for 386 yards and three touchdowns in his first four NFL games. Nabers, the sixth overall pick in April out of LSU, should be reinserted into starting fantasy lineups on Sunday after missing the last two games with a concussion.
