Keenan Allen News
Monday, August 17, 7:06 PM
The Indianapolis Colts have signed free-agent wide receiver Keenan Allen to a one-year, $8.32 million contract. Allen spent the last two seasons with the Chicago Bears and the Los Angeles Chargers, totaling 151 receptions for 1,521 yards and 11 touchdowns in his last 32 games. The veteran receiver will spend his 14th season in Indianapolis alongside quarterback Daniel Jones, who had a strong season before tearing his Achilles in Week 14. The team's wide receiver room was desperate for another playmaker, with Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, who is currently on the PUP list and uncertain to return in Week 1. While all three receivers will compete for targets and negatively affect each other from a fantasy perspective, Allen and Downs should have strong roles if Pierce misses time. The newly acquired receiver should be ranked around the WR50-WR60 range, while Pierce and Downs likely drop down fantasy boards with Allen's addition.

Puka Nacua News
Monday, August 17, 12:12 PM
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (groin) could miss the rest of this week's practices as the team continues to play it safe with him. Head coach Sean McVay said Monday that Nacua might not practice at all this week, according to Greg Beacham. The Rams only have sessions scheduled for Tuesday and Thursday after Nacua sat out Monday. That is a change from McVay's comments last Thursday, when he said he expected Nacua back this week "ready to go." Nacua has been sidelined since leaving the August 11 joint practice with the Dallas Cowboys because of soreness in his psoas. McVay continues to treat the issue as minor and is choosing caution with one of his veteran stars rather than pushing him back onto the field. There has been no indication of a setback. If Nacua sits Tuesday and Thursday as well, he will have gone the entire week without practicing.
