Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Tyler Boyd

Friday, October 31, 5:29 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen had a quiet game last week, with only four catches for 44 yards on five targets, as his route run rate (25%) decreased when the Chargers shifted to a run-heavy game script in their blowout win. He remains among the league leaders in receptions (48) and targets (70). This week, Allen faces a Tennessee Titans pass defense that has struggled, and he gets a favorable matchup against Titans CB Jalyn Armour-Davis, who is allowing 11.6 yards per target. Still, Allen's ceiling might be limited by the possibility of another early lead and a sustained ground game. Despite that, his target consistency provides a solid floor. RotoBaller has Allen ranked as WR24. He should be a dependable mid-to-low-end WR2 this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers reporter Mark Kaboly said on 93.7 The Fan that the team has had talks with free-agent wide receiver Tyler Boyd. It comes a day after Boyd said he's "absolutely" be interested in playing for the Steelers. It's unclear if a formal offer was made to Boyd, but the money that he's been offered around the league this offseason hasn't been in the neighborhood of what he's looking for. The Steelers acquired tight end Jonnu Smith in a trade on Monday with the Miami Dolphins, but they could still use additional receiver depth behind DK Metcalf. As things currently stand, Calvin Austin III is set for WR2 duties with Roman Wilson, Robert Woods, Scotty Miller and Ben Skowronek also on the roster. After eight seasons with the Bengals, Boyd caught 39 passes for 390 yards and no touchdowns in 16 games (eight starts) for Tennessee in 2024.
