Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Rashid Shaheed

Tuesday, September 16, 2:05 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen once again made an impact in Monday night's 20-9 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, catching five of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown. He remains reliable and continues to earn quarterback Justin Herbert's trust in key moments. His 33% red-zone target share through two games shows he's a primary option near the goal line. The Week 3 matchup against the Denver Broncos will be challenging, as their secondary is among the best in the league. However, Allen's ability to get separation on short routes and move the chains should keep him heavily involved. If the veteran stays healthy, he looks to be a strong WR2/3 with touchdown upside going forward.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed was the team's third-most productive pass catcher in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, finishing with six receptions for 33 yards on nine targets. His longest catch was just 17 yards, but his speed and explosiveness give him real big-play potential. With Kellen Moore's offense passing aggressively, Shaheed could turn his volume into a breakout performance and projects as a WR4 with upside this week against the 49ers.
