Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Tim Patrick

Friday, September 12, 11:51 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen had seven catches for 68 yards in the Week 1 win over the Chiefs. While he wasn't as productive as Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston, the veteran wideout had a team-high 10 targets while finding the end zone in the third quarter off of an 11-yard throw from Justin Herbert. With a win in the books, Los Angeles will face Las Vegas in Week 2 in another AFC West showdown. Geno Smith played well in the win over the Patriots. However, the defense still struggled at times, especially defending the pass. Not much is expected to change on that front on Monday night. It's apparent Allen and Herbert still have strong on-field chemistry. With that in mind, the 33-year-old appears to have some gas left in the tank, making him worthy of a spot in all fantasy lineups in Week 2.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have acquired veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick from the Detroit Lions in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The 31-year-old recorded 33 catches for 394 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games with Detroit last year. The Lions' decision to move on from Patrick signals an internal belief in third-round rookie Isaac TeSlaa, who was a standout performer in the preseason. In Jacksonville, Patrick will likely step into the team's WR3 role next to Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers.
