Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Quentin Johnston

Friday, December 19, 10:12 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen remains a focal point for Justin Herbert, leading the team with seven targets in his last outing. However, his fantasy floor is fragile, as he posted a season-low 43.1% snap share and has seen only two red-zone targets in his last seven games. The Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys is favorable, as Dallas ranks 30th in EPA/Pass and fifth in completion percentage allowed. While the porous Cowboys secondary boosts the outlook for all Chargers pass-catchers, Allen's limited route participation makes him a touchdown-dependent option in an offense that has favored the ground game. RotoBaller has Allen ranked as the WR41 this week. He is a viable deep-league streamer or FLEX candidate in PPR formats.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (groin) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Johnston was listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice this week while managing a groin injury. The 24-year-old missed last week's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, but he should return to a full-time role in a favorable matchup against the Dallas Cowboys' 32nd-ranked pass defense. The TCU product has played 12 games this season, collecting 42 receptions for 533 yards and seven touchdowns on 71 targets. He projects as an upside WR4 for Week 16, facing a weak Dallas secondary.
