Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Marvin Mims Jr.

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.

Despite being listed as limited in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, the Denver Broncos have ruled out wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) for a second straight game for the Week 10 matchup against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday Night Football. Mims suffered a concussion in the Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys and was unable to play in Sunday's victory over the Houston Texans. He'll miss his second straight game, but hopefully he'll clear the league's concussion protocol in time to suit up for a crucial divisional contest next week against the Kansas City Chiefs. With the 23-year-old sidelined again, Troy Franklin and rookie Pat Bryant will once again have additional opportunities to make noise in the passing attack in a plus matchup behind WR1 Courtland Sutton. Tight end Evan Engram should also bounce back after posting a donut last week.
