Keenan Allen News
Saturday, April 4, 6:36 PM
Veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen remains a free agent as we turn the calendar to April. The 33-year-old has spent 13 seasons in the NFL, including a dozen with the Los Angeles Chargers. He essentially shared No. 1 receiver duties with Ladd McConkey last year and ultimately led the team with 81 catches. He also tallied 777 receiving yards and four touchdowns, ranking as the overall WR29 in PPR leagues. Allen has previously said he only wants to play in Los Angeles, but his stance may have changed this deep into free agency. If he's open to playing elsewhere, several NFL media personalities have identified the Las Vegas Raiders as a potential landing spot. Vegas currently doesn't have an established No. 1 receiver, and Allen could be a great veteran target for rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza, the projected first overall pick. Allen doesn't have much value in dynasty trades, so he's purely a hold for now. Depending on the landing spot, he could be an intriguing buy-low receiver with short-term value.

Van Jefferson News
Friday, March 13, 12:25 PM
The Washington Commanders are signing veteran free-agent wide receiver Van Jefferson (forearm) to an undisclosed deal on Friday, a source told Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. Even though it's wide open right now behind WR1 Terry McLaurin in D.C., the 29-year-old Jefferson will most likely serve as a depth option for the Commanders in 2026. The team also brought back Dyami Brown on Friday after he spent his first four seasons with Washington. Jefferson ended last year on Injured Reserve due to a forearm injury. Before his injury, the former second-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams in 2020 caught 29 of his 52 targets for 350 yards and one touchdown in 16 games (seven starts) with the Tennessee Titans. Jefferson's career year in 2021 with the Rams in his second year in the league has been the outlier, as he hasn't come anywhere close to the 802 receiving yards and six TDs he had that season. The Commanders are likely to bring in more receiving help via free agency and the draft, which would push Jefferson further down the WR depth chart.
