Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Tyler Lockett

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen once again proved to be quarterback Justin Herbert's most trusted option in the team's 23-20 win over the Denver Broncos, catching seven of 11 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown. The veteran commands a stellar 26.2% target share and a 40% red-zone target share over three games, making him a consistent scoring threat. Facing the 0-3 New York Giants' vulnerable secondary, Allen could be set up for an active day. Though the potential for the Chargers to lean on the run game if the score gets out of hand could slightly cap his volume. RotoBaller raises Allen to WR25 this week. He is a borderline WR2 and a strong start in all formats, especially PPR.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Lockett has had a miserable year so far. After a stellar tenure with the Seattle Seahawks, the wideout has only six grabs (eight targets) for 46 yards in his first three games as a Titan. Granted, he's older, which won't help anyone's ceiling. However, outside of that, quarterback Cam Ward hasn't played the best, with the rookie throwing for only 506 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while completing 54.5% of his throws. Lockett has logged 103 offensive snaps, third on the team at the position behind Elic Ayomanor and Calvin Ridley. With that in mind, it's hard to imagine the 32-year-old will turn things around even if Ward gets his act together, especially with Ridley, Ayomanor, and Chig Okonkwo all looking for targets. Keep Lockett sitting in Week 4 against the Houston Texans.
