Keenan Allen Questionable to Play in Week 4 with Groin Injury

Friday, October 2, 10:09 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen (groin) is officially questionable to play in his team's Week 4 matchup against the Washington Commanders with a groin injury, per Nathan Brown of The Indianapolis Star. Allen is coming off his best game of the young season, recording six catches for 63 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in Week 3 against the Houston Texans. With Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (heel) currently on Injured Reserve, a healthy Allen profiles as the team's WR2 alongside Josh Downs. However, Allen was listed as a non-participant in the Colts' walkthrough on Friday and could be in real danger of being inactive on Sunday. If Allen is sidelined, Downs and Colts tight end Tyler Warren could absolutely dominate the team's target share in Week 4 against Washington.

Rashod Bateman News

Rashod Bateman Better Suited to Deeper Leagues

Tuesday, September 29, 11:23 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman remains a deeper-league waiver option after Zay Flowers returned to the lineup in Week 3. Bateman caught seven of nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown with Flowers out against New Orleans, then dropped to two catches for 37 yards in Sunday's win over Dallas. Flowers came back and immediately led Baltimore with five receptions for 84 yards, while Lamar Jackson attempted only 20 passes. Bateman still made one of the Ravens' bigger plays with a 31-yard catch, but his weekly target volume is harder to trust when Flowers is healthy. He has nine receptions for 125 yards and one touchdown through three games. Bateman sits 42nd overall on RotoBaller's current Week 4 waiver board, where the recommendation is for 14-team leagues. He is worth holding or adding in deeper formats, but he is more of a bench receiver than a priority claim in standard leagues.
