Keenan Allen News
Wednesday, June 24, 9:19 AM
Indianapolis Colts top wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) might not be ready for the start of training camp this summer after having surgery on his left ankle in late March, and the Colts traded Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason. As Pierce continues to rehab, veteran free-agent wideout Keenan Allen could be in consideration for the Colts on the open market, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. The 34-year-old previously played for head coach Shane Steichen when Steichen was the Chargers' offensive coordinator, so there is a clear connection there. The major problem with adding Allen is that both he and Josh Downs are primarily both slot weapons. Allen, a six-time Pro Bowler, is approaching the end of his NFL career, but in his 13th season in 2025 in his return to the Chargers, he had a respectable 81 receptions for 777 yards and four touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (three starts). If/when Allen lands with another NFL team, he'll be competing for a WR3 role most likely, which might give him fleeting deep-league value in PPR formats.

Quentin Johnston News
Tuesday, June 23, 9:32 AM
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston has been excited about new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's scheme going into the 2026 season, and it could allow him to be even more dangerous in terms of yards after the catch, according to Omar Navarro of Chargers.com. "I feel like the scheme he has is set up for the yards after catch," Johnston said. "There's not always a lot of room for that in this league, but just showing us different angles and stuff to get to the ball after the catch and turning, going across the field and doing different stuff in the plays he has built for us." In his final collegiate season at TCU, almost half of Johnston's receiving yards came after the catch (532 of 1,068 yards). The 24-year-old former 21st overall pick in 2023 has had trouble with drops in the past, but he has also improved in each of his three years in the NFL, and he's led the team with eight touchdowns in each of the last two years. With veteran Keenan Allen unlikely to re-sign, Johnston could take another step forward in McDaniel's offense in 2026 as a big-play threat for the Bolts and fantasy managers alike. RotoBaller has Johnston ranked as the No. 49 fantasy WR for the upcoming campaign.
