Keenan Allen News
Wednesday, November 11, 6:47 AM
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Keenan Allen was traded by the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday for a 2027 sixth-round pick. Asked whether Allen requested the move, Colts head coach Shane Steichen said, "No, not that I'm aware of," according to James Boyd. Allen signed with Indianapolis in August, reuniting with Steichen after seven seasons together with the Chargers. Allen cited that familiarity when he joined the Colts. He caught 40 of 58 targets for 351 yards and one touchdown in eight games with Indianapolis, including 31 catches for 230 yards on passes thrown fewer than 10 yards downfield. Allen finished his Colts stint with four catches for 26 yards on eight targets against Dallas, the same opponent San Francisco visits Sunday. San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that he did not expect Mike Evans to be ready this week and that Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to return to practice Wednesday. Allen's work underneath gives Brock Purdy another short-area option while the 49ers wait for their receivers to get healthy.

Puka Nacua News
Wednesday, November 11, 10:57 AM
The Los Angeles Rams are not placing wide receiver Puka Nacua (knee, toe) on Injured Reserve because of roster mechanics, but he will be out for some time, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. A report earlier on Wednesday said that the Rams are optimistic that Nacua will be able to return in Week 14 against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers or in Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys. Davante Adams, Jordan Whittington, and Terrance Ferguson are all already on IR, so the Rams are running out of pass-catchers in their passing game. If the Rams were to place Nacua on IR, he would still be required to miss at least four games, even though the Rams have their bye coming in Week 11. Fantasy managers will not get any roster relief themselves if Nacua is kept off IR, but he should remain stashed in all fantasy leagues as one of the best receivers in the NFL when he is healthy. The 25-year-old two-time Pro Bowler caught 14 of 19 targets for 150 yards and a touchdown (his third week in a row with a score) in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 9, but he came out of that contest with an MCL/PCL issue in his knee and turf toe. It is a tough blow for fantasy managers and the Rams, but if he recovers quickly, Nacua could be back in the fold just in time for the fantasy playoffs.
