Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Puka Nacua

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.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters on Wednesday that wide receiver Puka Nacua (rib) "should be good to play" on Sunday in a big divisional matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10 despite injuring his rib in the Week 9 win over the New Orleans Saints, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Nacua injured his ribs last weekend, but X-rays came back negative, and he's expected to be available to take on the Niners this weekend. If the 24-year-old third-year pass-catcher is active for Week 10, he'll be a must-start in all fantasy lineups. Nacua continues to be one of the most dynamic wideouts in the NFL, and he enters Week 10 action with 61 catches on a league-high 73 targets for 711 yards and three touchdowns across seven starts. In the overtime loss to San Fran on Oct. 2, Nacua had 10 grabs on 12 targets for 85 yards and a touchdown. UPDATE: Nacua was limited in practice on Wednesday.
