Keenan Allen News
Saturday, September 26, 9:50 AM
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen will be thrust into a bigger role due to the injury to Colts WR1 Alec Pierce (heel). He could have enough targets to be startable in deep leagues for Week 3, though that's a risky prospect considering his production so far this season. Through two games, he has only seven receptions for 37 yards and zero touchdowns. He's been targeted 11 times so far, which is somewhat encouraging, but he hasn't been a downfield threat at all. And in Week 3, the Houston Texans' defense is likely to make it tough on him to do much more than rack up a few PPR fantasy points from catches. Allen is 34 years old, and while he showed upside last season, it could be that this is the year it falls apart for him. WRs of his age almost never have consistent season-long production or dominant games against some of the NFL's best defenses. Outside of deep dynasty leagues, Allen should be left on the bench or on waivers until he proves we should do otherwise.

Stefon Diggs News
Saturday, September 26, 9:00 AM
Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs found the end zone twice again in Week 2, catching five of his six targets for 47 yards against the Dallas Cowboys. The 32-year-old is averaging 18.6 fantasy points per game through two weeks, ranking as the WR11. It will be interesting to see how Diggs and the offense produce without their top QB in Jayden Daniels (elbow), but Marcus Mariota was efficient during the second half and for stretches last season. It is worth noting that Diggs' snaps still aren't all the way there and dropped from 62.9% in Week 1 to 50.7% in Week 2. That should be expected to tick back up in future weeks. Diggs faces a brutal Week 3 matchup against a Seattle Seahawks defense that hasn't allowed a passing touchdown and has allowed only 3.8 yards per pass play this season, in addition to holding him to just three catches for 37 yards in last season's Super Bowl. Diggs ranks as RotoBaller's WR38 in PPR leagues in Week 3, profiling as a WR3/flex option.
