Keenan Allen Injury Update Crushes Week 16 Fantasy Outlook

Keenan Allen's fantasy football managers need to prepare for another long, frustrating game in Week 16. As we saw last week, when Allen was held to 1 catch on 3 targets, Allen will be listed as a game-time decision for Week 16.

Even if he's ultimately active, his performance in a similar situation last week should make fantasy managers wary about starting him.

Allen just isn't someone you can trust in Week 16. In fact, he's quietly been mired in a bit of a slump over his last four games. Allen hasn't topped 52 receiving yards in any of his last four appearances, averaging a paltry 39.3 receiving yards per game during that stretch.

Allen's poor recent production and injury history make him an absurdly risky start in Week 16. If you have a better option on the bench, it's probably best to avoid playing Allen this week – assuming he's even active.
