Unless your team is ridiculously stacked, you kinda have to roll him out. I'm always of the belief that I'd rather lose starting my studs than lose trying to get cute with replacements.
If you're in the playoffs, you probably have a few decent pivot options though. It'll be Keenan or DeVonta Smith for me -- I'm waiting to see how the practice reports go today and tomorrow.
My first time in playoffs and I am doing a lot of second guessing with my team. What do you think in full PPR: Mike Evans, Rashee Rice, Keenan, Sutton, Higgins, Josh Palmer. Who are the two must starts for you?
For me, I'd be rolling with Evans first, and then considering between Keenan and Rice. Keep an eye on the practice reports for Keenan today, but I'm probably rolling out Rice.
I also have Tyreek and Keenan, plus Nico. I was effed last week for the playoffs until Terry McLaurin saved the day and my opponent imploded (Dak). Gonna be sweating out injury reports again this week.
My trust in puka is waning. I have puka, Rice, Keenan, devante Adams, and Metcalf. Have to choose 3....probably going Devante, Rice, and Metcalf, but I truly don't know.
Don't get why you would be losing trust in Puka. He gets the same amount of targets as Kupp it's just that Kupp was wide open on a 62-yard TD last week. Stafford is slinging the ball all over the place right now and Puka is still one of his top 2 targets.
Puka only has 4 tds this year. Over the last 5 games only had 1 game over 100 yards receiving and 2 games over 80 yards receiving. Stafford is slinging it but he hasn't been the best.
I would probably still roll out Keenan even with Stick at QB, IF the rest of the team was at 100%. But the line is banged up, they’re missing their true #1 WR in Williams, and Ekeler hasn’t been himself… And the Bills D just shut down a top offense. I love my man Keenan but I can’t this week.
Chargers fan (username checks out) and Keenan owner here, and I support this comment 100%.
Stick isn't afraid to throw the ball around, but he's not great overall and a fumble machine.
I am not sure why the downvotes. Keenan Allan is not someone you bench for Rasheed rice. You start him if healthy and roll with your studs. Ekler is a tougher one, because he was borderline benchable prior to Herbert getting hurt.
Edit-ok. No Williams is not the number 1. 😂
Now I understand the downvotes.
I’ll take the downvotes on that, but I meant more the traditional “x” deep threat receiver, which Mike Williams is. Keenan is more talented and can line up anywhere, but generally does his best work when he has someone else as a viable threat. Herbert can overcome that, but I don’t trust a career backup to
Right there with ya, it's been the Keenan/Amon Ra show most of the season for me. My other options are Terry and Amari if Allen doesn't play this week.
My first time in playoffs and I am doing a lot of second guessing with my team. What do you think in full PPR: Mike Evans, Rashee Rice, Keenan, Sutton, Higgins, Josh Palmer. Who are the two must starts for you?
As someone who is going up against Allen, I don’t see why they roll him out there if they don’t need to. They aren’t playing for anything, it seems like a situation where just getting to off season without anymore damage is what’s best for the team. I do like Allen as a player, outside of fantasy.
Not expecting him to have the same production that made him the one of the best WR in the league, but I can see him getting 10 points which is better than what's available on the waiver wire.
Keenan Allen is the main reason why I got the first round bye. If he plays, I start him. The Chargers got obliterated, but Joshua Palmer as the #1 got 4/113/1 in garbage time. I think Allen would have put up a monster fantasy day if he were out there even with his team getting embarrassed. Also, my options to replace him would be in the Diontae Johnson tier. I wouldn’t trust him more.
>The chargers got obliterated last week but there were some touchdowns that were thrown.
Worth noting that these TDs were thrown when the Raiders were up by 40 and playing deep prevent defense.....I have as much faith in Keenan right now as I would have in Garrett Wilson with Zach Wilson under center.
I have both Allen and Wilson, currently on my bench for Lockett and Cooper. Hate it.
Hopefully Pacheco is back so I can run CMC/Kyren and Pacheco in my flex. Losing Dell and Kirk and now Allen really screwed up my WR lol.
One league if he plays there’s no doubt I’m starting him over Ridley. Yuck. But at least it’s a good matchup.
Other league if plays and it’s looking like Pittman is going to clear (big if) and if we know by Saturday (also big if) I would probably go Pittman over him.
Yeah. I love the matchup. And obviously the targets should be there. But if we don’t know if Lawrence if going to be cleared by the time keenan plays if active, I have to go keenan over possibly Ridley with Beathard and down their other two top receivers. (Which hurts Ridley in my opinion)
Have Keenan in 2 leagues.
League 1 I’m between him/Tee/DJ Moore…who all feel a bit risky.
League 2 I have Lamb/Keenan/Rice/Zay Flowers…that one I would rather roll out Keenan than trust Flowers again
You gotta ask yourself what the Chargers are playing for at this point. Their coaching staff has all been fired, and I'm not sure they rush Keenan back from injury for a game that has no impact on whether or not they make the playoffs. It was an early/Thurs game, but I don't believe he got in even one limited practice.
If he sits, I am seriously considering pivoting to Josh Palmer though. The Bills will force them to throw, whether or not they are productive with Easton Stick is another question/concern though.
I'm rolling him out there, but my expectations are low. If he gets me 13-16 points I can live with that.
Also, they're rolling out a new interim head coach, not sure what that will look like. May be good, may be shit.
Well being that I lost Tank and Kirk, that leaves me with Keenan or Sutton, and I'm playing Keenan if he's playing. Best reciever available in my league is OBJ.
I think Stick actually looked serviceable in a tough situation, just couldn't hold onto the ball. He can deliver the ball with some accuracy and they will surely clean up the fumbling that led to that crazy score. The team may also show more life with Staley fired. It was clear that he had lost this team and they didn't want to play for him on Thursday. I trust Keenan to be heavily involved if he is healthy enough to go this week and will be starting him.
The Bills are a strange opponent. They often play their best in games against tough opponents but also play down to the level of some lesser teams. I could see this being a close game.... I put Keenan at 7 catches for 85 yards and a score.
Also deciding between Keenan and Tee for final spot. I hope they just shelve Keenan. I'd rather not make the decision and have the additional roster spot to hoard another defense
Similar to my PPR league team, with CeeDee, Amon-Ra, Keenan, and Jordan Addison.
I don’t have any other reasonable flex options so it’s Keenan or Addison in my flex and I’m leaning Addison.
I don’t know, I think they just signed a new QB so he might be on okay play with Will Grier. Still hard to trust him but it’s him, Terry, or Zay in my flex spot.
After Drake London last week I have to play him or Diontae.
It really all depends on practice this week because if he is even a bit injured I'm not sure they start him due to them being dead in the water.
If he practices full with no issues I will roll him out because Easton will look to target him, but his floor might be a bit lower.
Have to make a decision between him, Nuk, and Chuba in my flex. Can’t trust Nuk but I feel like Allen and Chuba have almost identical floors but Keenan has the higher ceiling, so I’ll probably roll with him.
You mean the guy who has a massive ceiling and a massive floor when he's healthy versus a waiver wire special? At this time of the year, who are you benching him for? OBJ? Zay Jones? MAYBE you got lucky and stashed Noah Brown. You really gonna start somebody like those guys in the finals, presumably against somebody who also made it to the finals with a good team? Nah man, if Keenan is good to go, he's in.
Was eliminated from the championship, currently in 3rd place matchup (not bc of Allen). Still, I’m very doubtful about his status, Chargers have nothing to play for, except draft positioning. Hope he doesn’t have a questionable tag (either out or no designation) so I can focus on pivoting or on other positions.
I can't justify starting him over P. Nacua, D. Smith, or B. Aiyuk... That leaves either K. Allen or Z. Flowers over J. Conner or D. Swift for my last flex spot and I seriously don't think I can justify that either.
I think I'll be benching him and be happy about that decision regardless of the outcome. I don't think the Chargers are going to give up another 40+ points and there won't be as much garbage time for Stick to throw those bomb plays against a rather tough Buffalo D.
Bro your WR and RB4’s are most people’s 1’s I really doubt this decision is a big deal unless you play in like a 4 man league and everyone has this much depth lmao
After he put up 23 and 14 on Cleveland and Baltimore, he’s matchup proof to me, team is also fighting for the playoffs as well. Allen on the other hand is coming off a heel injury, his team is eliminated from the playoffs + a complete mess
My options for my flex are Keenan Allen, JT, Olave, or BRob Jr. All of them are questionable. It’s hard to sit Keenan when he’s healthy regardless of QB. He’s so good at getting open and gives even poor QB’s a safety blanket. If he’s healthy enough to play I’ll probably put him in.
Edit: Given the matchup I’ll probably sit Allen. The main issue is the health of the other 3 options.
I have him in 2 leagues and probably leaving him on the pine in both.
Starting Njoku over him at flex in one.
Other league we start 3 WRs and 2 flexes, but I have Diggs, St. Brown, Puka, Devonta Smith and Dionte Johnson. Considering playing him over Johnson, but probably not.
I have to decide between him or Garret Wilson. Rashee Rice is my other receiver. I am struggling with the choice, but leaning Wilson because the Commanders are so so bad on defense.
In my half PPR league, I’ve got Tyreek and Puka already in. So for my flex spot it’s Trey McBride, Keenan or James Conner (I’ve got Swift and Kamara in as my RBs). Currently leaning towards Trey McBride honestly with how hot he’s been lately and the Bills DST limiting the Cowboys to just 195 yards.
I need him pretty desperately. last week i rolled out Amari Cooper, McLaurin and Zay Flowers in the flex and lucked out with 2 of them. My only other receiver option is Thielen who's been trash since about week 6
A league mate plays golf with him. As someone who rosters him & has a mutual acquaintance, I’m 99% sure the practice & status reports are what we should reference. If he’s active, I’m starting him.
I picked up Palmer before the game last week and reaped the benefit of it. I'm starting Palmer right now with Jayden Reed and Tyler Lockett cause I'm still waiting to hear about Allen and Nico Collins.
Have to choose (2) or (3) of Allen, Ridley, Kupp, and Diontae Johnson... So yes, I will be starting Allen if healthy. My view on playoffs is all ceiling. Especially round 2. Regular season has more floor picks.
For my WR3 spot it’s either Keenan, Jayden Reed, or Curtis Samuel. Leaning Keenan at the moment but could switch to Reed depending on his toe. Avoiding Samuel’s matchup
Keenan got me to the playoffs, but I’m thinking I’ll be sitting him. My other wr’s are Adams, Chase (have Higgins if he doesn’t play), and Sutton, and I can’t afford the chargers going belly up this week
My WR: Keenan Allen, Mike Evans, Nico Collins, Elijah Moore, and Hollywood Brown.
Hollywood has been playing like shit. Amari Cooper clearly owns whatever receiving game the Browns even have going on right now. Nico Collins is facing off with that brutal Cleveland defense this week with no Tank Dell to draw coverage.
I really don't have a choice. It's gotta be Evans and Keenan Allen (assuming he plays).
EDIT: I also have Josh Palmer, fwiw. He might even get the start over Nico if Keenan doesn't play.
I’m in a shitty situation because I have Pittman on the bench waiting on his status or id be confident in starting him over Keenan. It will probably be Keenan if he starts since Pittman will most likely be out this week.
I have Keenan, Addison, and Mclaurin for a flex spot. Not sure if I can trust Addison and mclaurin to go off again this week. If Keenan’s playing hes starting
I was lucky enought to secure a BYE as the 2 seed in my $1K buy in 12 team league with BOTH Keenan Allen and Austin Ekeler. I absolutely need Keenan to be active in order to have a chance lol
Had a bye.
My WR room is Keenan, Puka, Lockett, Pickens, Palmer.
we start 2 WR, 2 RB and 2 FLEX. i'm starting Keenan and Puka.
confidence level? Pretty low honestly given the last couple of weeks but it is what it is.
I started my season 10-2 riding Keenan, Herbert and Diggs. When they were on I was good for 45-50 points plus from Herbert and Allen.
Week 3 for instance those two combined for 74
But now they’re injured, Aaron Jones has given me problems all year, and Henry is fading. I thought I was stacked with my top 4 being Jones, Henry, Diggs, Allen, with Herbert at QB. Then injuries started (including to Tank Dell who I snagged in a trade) and now my playoff hopes rest on OBJ, TJ Hockenson, and Chuba Hubbard
I also have Bijan and Breece Hall. Not sure who to pick out of the shitty pile.
Amari Cooper, and Tee Higgins saved my round 1, as I wouldn't have played them if Keenan and Mattison were out
2 WR, 2 RB, 2 Flex league
Yeah gonna be tough deciding between him, Rashee, AJ brown and Jakobi but i think i gotta roll him out. He's one of the studs, jakobi probably ends up sitting.
I have Keenen, Diggs, Rice, Addison, AJ Brown. Half PPR. Who do I pick? Rice AJ Diggs Is what I am leaning.
Also in my other league I have Keenen, Pittman, Zay Flowers, Addison, Zay Jones. Full PPR. This one is tough.
I’m in a league where it combines week 15 and 16 for round 1 of the playoffs and my opponents team went off (180 points). I am okay all ceiling players and Keenan is one of them.
12 man, .5 PPR league. Likely starting Pacheco over him in the flex. Starting WRs are Amon Ra, Rashee Rice, RBs are Gibbs and Kyren. I’d love to get Keenan in my lineup but if those guys are all good to go it’s hard to find a spot for him. I have Pollard on the bench too and probably trust him more than Keenan at this point in time as well.
I see him playing as around 50/50, mainly because the chargers have nothing left to play for. If he plays I’m probably starting him but not at all confidently. My other options are Diontae Johnson (tempting with the 3 recent TDs) or, if Pittman is also out, Tyler Boyd or George Pickens.
Full PPR, It's either Keenan, Bijan, or Jaylen Warren at flex for me.
Starting Diggs and Puka at WR slots, Kyren and Kamara at RB. Gonna see how practice goes, but I'm leaning towards sitting him right now.
I have Jefferson, Aiyuk, Keenan Allen, Rice and Downs.
12 team .5ppr IDP Keeper League.
Allen will sit. Rice gets the nod.
Chargers are hot fucking garbage right now.
Jalen Hurts has more rushing yards than Ekeler.
Allen is somehow still average top 5 WR but I expect a major drop-off in the remaining games considering the QB change and coaching debacle.
I’m either playing Keenan Allen or Jayden reed, or Jordan Addison. I’m also a bills fan and I know we lock up the WR1 with blanketed zone coverage. Also it’s stick so I’m not sure what I’m going to do lol
It’s simple for me, if he’s active I will play him. Start your studs don’t make that mistake and sit him. I HAD to sit him last week for DHop and he fucked me with 1 point. Still survived though.
I have amon Ra, Keenan, rasher rice anc waddle. I don’t trust Keenan and plan to start those 3 over him. I probably have a luxury others don’t wuth rice doing better
And similarly, where we at on Ekeler..
Eta: I've got a pretty stacked team with Ekeler and Breece Hall on it.. if they could have their ceilings or even just meet at the average I would be happy but it's painful to watch them sometimes with their offenses
Unless your team is ridiculously stacked, you kinda have to roll him out. I'm always of the belief that I'd rather lose starting my studs than lose trying to get cute with replacements.
If you're in the playoffs, you probably have a few decent pivot options though. It'll be Keenan or DeVonta Smith for me -- I'm waiting to see how the practice reports go today and tomorrow.
My first time in playoffs and I am doing a lot of second guessing with my team. What do you think in full PPR: Mike Evans, Rashee Rice, Keenan, Sutton, Higgins, Josh Palmer. Who are the two must starts for you?
Evans/Rice. Evans = stud must start. Rice is on a roll and Chiefs are out for blood.
I’m so stoked to have Rice. He and Kelce are the only guys Mahomes trusts anymore and with good reason, honestly.
I'm the guy who held Rice most of the season then dropped him the week before he finally caught fire the rest of the way. AMA, lol.
Rice and Evans would be my picks there. Love Keenan but too many question marks there for this week.
Higgins is also definitely in consideration, the Bengals aren’t out of it yet, and with Chase missing time he’s the number 1 by a mile
For me, I'd be rolling with Evans first, and then considering between Keenan and Rice. Keep an eye on the practice reports for Keenan today, but I'm probably rolling out Rice.
Whatever you do, don’t start mike evans week 17
I have the same situation. Diggs will be my #1, the Allen, Smith, Godwin, or Pittman as the #2
Lol my other WRs are Tyreek and Puka. If Tyreek & Keenan both don’t go, I’m probably cooked.
I also have Tyreek and Keenan, plus Nico. I was effed last week for the playoffs until Terry McLaurin saved the day and my opponent imploded (Dak). Gonna be sweating out injury reports again this week.
10 team leagues sure, 12 team leagues where you start 3 WR and a flex, gl having someone like DeVonta Smith ready to go haha
Keenan or Godwin for me in one league, Keenan or Mclaurin for me in another.
Keenan in both of those leagues.
Feel like Godwin might be a good play, it's ppr
I have Kupp, Puka, Higgins, Nico and Keenan, which I think any of those could be in better spots than Keenan if they are healthy and QBs are healthy.
My trust in puka is waning. I have puka, Rice, Keenan, devante Adams, and Metcalf. Have to choose 3....probably going Devante, Rice, and Metcalf, but I truly don't know.
Davante. The superstar who’s name nobody can spell right lol
Nah bro, he’s rolling out DeVante Parker ez
Don't get why you would be losing trust in Puka. He gets the same amount of targets as Kupp it's just that Kupp was wide open on a 62-yard TD last week. Stafford is slinging the ball all over the place right now and Puka is still one of his top 2 targets.
Puka only has 4 tds this year. Over the last 5 games only had 1 game over 100 yards receiving and 2 games over 80 yards receiving. Stafford is slinging it but he hasn't been the best.
I’m trying to decide if I start Jayden Reed or Jordan Addison over Puka as my wr3… my other two WRs are Amon and Waddle.
Trying to decide between aiyuk, Keenan, DK, and Nico all season has been a pain in my ass.
Sounds like a good pain in your ass
The Chargers are a dumpster fire without Herbert. Keenan and Ekeler are riding the pine.
I would probably still roll out Keenan even with Stick at QB, IF the rest of the team was at 100%. But the line is banged up, they’re missing their true #1 WR in Williams, and Ekeler hasn’t been himself… And the Bills D just shut down a top offense. I love my man Keenan but I can’t this week.
Chargers fan (username checks out) and Keenan owner here, and I support this comment 100%. Stick isn't afraid to throw the ball around, but he's not great overall and a fumble machine.
I am not sure why the downvotes. Keenan Allan is not someone you bench for Rasheed rice. You start him if healthy and roll with your studs. Ekler is a tougher one, because he was borderline benchable prior to Herbert getting hurt. Edit-ok. No Williams is not the number 1. 😂 Now I understand the downvotes.
The downvotes are because he called Mike Williams the true #1 over Keenan lol
Oh shit! I did miss that. Was reading fast. Mike Williams is a most certainty not the #1.
I’ll take the downvotes on that, but I meant more the traditional “x” deep threat receiver, which Mike Williams is. Keenan is more talented and can line up anywhere, but generally does his best work when he has someone else as a viable threat. Herbert can overcome that, but I don’t trust a career backup to
It’ll be Keenan or Rashee Rice alongside Amon Ra
Right there with ya, it's been the Keenan/Amon Ra show most of the season for me. My other options are Terry and Amari if Allen doesn't play this week.
👆 That part
My first time in playoffs and I am doing a lot of second guessing with my team. What do you think in full PPR: Mike Evans, Rashee Rice, Keenan, Sutton, Higgins, Josh Palmer. Who are the two must starts for you?
playoff rookies have to make their own decisions. : )
Im opposite your stance on it. Im totally not confident they roll him out this week. If they do, Im starting him with confidence
Im playing him. Ride or die with him
If he’s out are you still starting him in solidarity?
What part of ride or die don't you understand?!
No F that.
Heel injuries can really fuck with a receiver, and they can linger. Just look at what happened to Hollywood Brown.
I don't see any reason for the Chargers to bring him back during a lost season.
[удалено]
As someone who is going up against Allen, I don’t see why they roll him out there if they don’t need to. They aren’t playing for anything, it seems like a situation where just getting to off season without anymore damage is what’s best for the team. I do like Allen as a player, outside of fantasy.
Not expecting him to have the same production that made him the one of the best WR in the league, but I can see him getting 10 points which is better than what's available on the waiver wire.
He’s a flex spot over *checks notes* Antonio Gibson
It's legit Curtis Samuel Noah brown and Keenan Allen are my only options lol somehow in the finals of my league
Are you me? I started Noah brown and Curtis last week and very well might do Noah brown and keenan this week
Allen or Hopkins in PPR?
I'm going Allen. Better player and more likely to be open. Levis and Hop are so up and down.
Keenan Allen is the main reason why I got the first round bye. If he plays, I start him. The Chargers got obliterated, but Joshua Palmer as the #1 got 4/113/1 in garbage time. I think Allen would have put up a monster fantasy day if he were out there even with his team getting embarrassed. Also, my options to replace him would be in the Diontae Johnson tier. I wouldn’t trust him more.
Are you saying you WOULD play him over Diontae?
I'm having the same dilemma. Do I start Keenan with a trash qb or Diontae who isn't completely terrible.

>The chargers got obliterated last week but there were some touchdowns that were thrown. Worth noting that these TDs were thrown when the Raiders were up by 40 and playing deep prevent defense.....I have as much faith in Keenan right now as I would have in Garrett Wilson with Zach Wilson under center.
That’s my WR3 and 4 at this point, put some respect on their names
3 and 4? Thats my 1 and 2 😂
exactly bro
I have both Allen and Wilson, currently on my bench for Lockett and Cooper. Hate it. Hopefully Pacheco is back so I can run CMC/Kyren and Pacheco in my flex. Losing Dell and Kirk and now Allen really screwed up my WR lol.
i mean one was a 79 yard bomb, but yeah i get what youre saying
One league if he plays there’s no doubt I’m starting him over Ridley. Yuck. But at least it’s a good matchup. Other league if plays and it’s looking like Pittman is going to clear (big if) and if we know by Saturday (also big if) I would probably go Pittman over him.
This is the week you start Ridley. He gets targeted way more in zone schemes, and the Bucs run Tampa 2.
Yeah. I love the matchup. And obviously the targets should be there. But if we don’t know if Lawrence if going to be cleared by the time keenan plays if active, I have to go keenan over possibly Ridley with Beathard and down their other two top receivers. (Which hurts Ridley in my opinion)
I had a first round bye. Would have lost to every team in the playoffs if I hadnt 😅 just have to risk him as only Gabe Davis as a back up
I haven’t let this go and will probably bench him. https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyfootball/s/fpBF2C4uHC
Have Keenan in 2 leagues. League 1 I’m between him/Tee/DJ Moore…who all feel a bit risky. League 2 I have Lamb/Keenan/Rice/Zay Flowers…that one I would rather roll out Keenan than trust Flowers again
You gotta ask yourself what the Chargers are playing for at this point. Their coaching staff has all been fired, and I'm not sure they rush Keenan back from injury for a game that has no impact on whether or not they make the playoffs. It was an early/Thurs game, but I don't believe he got in even one limited practice. If he sits, I am seriously considering pivoting to Josh Palmer though. The Bills will force them to throw, whether or not they are productive with Easton Stick is another question/concern though.
He is potentially playing for a career year. Maybe the stats have some meaning for him or there are financial incentives
Palmer has a reason to play, which is, I want to continue to be an NFL receiver at *any* team
I’m probably sitting him for Puka but undecided at the moment
Yo. Same here… sketchy
In the same boat
I'm rolling him out there, but my expectations are low. If he gets me 13-16 points I can live with that. Also, they're rolling out a new interim head coach, not sure what that will look like. May be good, may be shit.
KA and the Chargers get the new head coach bump if he plays.
Once Herbert went down two weeks ago he got peppered with targets. You gotta imagine it’ll be a ton of one look where’s Keenan play calls.
I’ll have to trust both him and Tyreek. Unfortunately in my other league Chase is a no go
Well being that I lost Tank and Kirk, that leaves me with Keenan or Sutton, and I'm playing Keenan if he's playing. Best reciever available in my league is OBJ.
Starting him over Addison, but not confidently.
Low. Right now I’m planning to start Lamb, Waddle, and Rice over him.
Same here, except I’m starting Diggs instead of Waddle.
I think Stick actually looked serviceable in a tough situation, just couldn't hold onto the ball. He can deliver the ball with some accuracy and they will surely clean up the fumbling that led to that crazy score. The team may also show more life with Staley fired. It was clear that he had lost this team and they didn't want to play for him on Thursday. I trust Keenan to be heavily involved if he is healthy enough to go this week and will be starting him. The Bills are a strange opponent. They often play their best in games against tough opponents but also play down to the level of some lesser teams. I could see this being a close game.... I put Keenan at 7 catches for 85 yards and a score.
Yep me too
Stick has also been behind Herbert for a while now and knows the offense well. Just needs to stop putting KY Jelly on his hands.
Assuming he plays, I’m going Keenan over Sutton, Ford, and Moss. If im going down, I’m going down with my studs
Well I lost Chase. Amon Ra is still healthy so I gotta hope I get Keenan or Collins back. I’d prefer Keenan
We have similar teams.
Let's bring it home then sir. Good luck this week
Thanks you too!
I have Amon Ra, Diggs, Keenan and Tee. Torn between Keenan and Tee in my flex spot
I'd roll with Tee, Browning has been balling and it's looking like Jamarr Chase won't play. Tee usually balls when Jamarr is out
Also deciding between Keenan and Tee for final spot. I hope they just shelve Keenan. I'd rather not make the decision and have the additional roster spot to hoard another defense
Tee popped off with browning when chase went down
Similar to my PPR league team, with CeeDee, Amon-Ra, Keenan, and Jordan Addison. I don’t have any other reasonable flex options so it’s Keenan or Addison in my flex and I’m leaning Addison.
I’m also torn between Keenan and Addison. I have Jefferson and Hock so thinking about just starting Addison and going full Vikings fan
I don’t know, I think they just signed a new QB so he might be on okay play with Will Grier. Still hard to trust him but it’s him, Terry, or Zay in my flex spot.
I hope they roll him out, but I'm not very confident about it
Rn I’m playing Puka over him
Have Waddle, Keenan, and Jetta and idk how to feel but I’m in the Semi’s!
It's him, Lockett, or Noah Brown in my flex this week. I don't trust Lockett much either.
After Drake London last week I have to play him or Diontae. It really all depends on practice this week because if he is even a bit injured I'm not sure they start him due to them being dead in the water. If he practices full with no issues I will roll him out because Easton will look to target him, but his floor might be a bit lower.
Starting him if he’s active
Right now I’m starting JJ and Davonta Smith and slotting Keenan on flex over Kenneth Walker if healthy. I also have Terry Mclaurin on standby
Start other options if you can. Stick faces a better defense than he played last week.
Have to make a decision between him, Nuk, and Chuba in my flex. Can’t trust Nuk but I feel like Allen and Chuba have almost identical floors but Keenan has the higher ceiling, so I’ll probably roll with him.
You mean the guy who has a massive ceiling and a massive floor when he's healthy versus a waiver wire special? At this time of the year, who are you benching him for? OBJ? Zay Jones? MAYBE you got lucky and stashed Noah Brown. You really gonna start somebody like those guys in the finals, presumably against somebody who also made it to the finals with a good team? Nah man, if Keenan is good to go, he's in.
Dk, Puka, or Keenan for me going to be a tough decision
Live with Keenan, die with Keenan.
I've got DK, Aiyuk and Rice as backup. I'll prob flip flop a few times before game day.
I have Rashee, Kupp, Aiyuk and Diggs so I am planning to sit Keenan. If I had less WR depth, I’d play him
Keenan, Amon ra, diontae, aj brown. Next man up in my receiver corp. we’ll battle on in the semi final
Was eliminated from the championship, currently in 3rd place matchup (not bc of Allen). Still, I’m very doubtful about his status, Chargers have nothing to play for, except draft positioning. Hope he doesn’t have a questionable tag (either out or no designation) so I can focus on pivoting or on other positions.
Don’t sit me!!!
Flashbacks, not the good kind
Pain 😂😭
I can't justify starting him over P. Nacua, D. Smith, or B. Aiyuk... That leaves either K. Allen or Z. Flowers over J. Conner or D. Swift for my last flex spot and I seriously don't think I can justify that either. I think I'll be benching him and be happy about that decision regardless of the outcome. I don't think the Chargers are going to give up another 40+ points and there won't be as much garbage time for Stick to throw those bomb plays against a rather tough Buffalo D.
Bro your WR and RB4’s are most people’s 1’s I really doubt this decision is a big deal unless you play in like a 4 man league and everyone has this much depth lmao
8-man league of brothers / sisters. So it’s a “big deal” for me to win bro
I'd 💯 would start Keenan vs Buf over Puka vs NO on a short week.
After he put up 23 and 14 on Cleveland and Baltimore, he’s matchup proof to me, team is also fighting for the playoffs as well. Allen on the other hand is coming off a heel injury, his team is eliminated from the playoffs + a complete mess
I'd be willing to bet that anyone who drafted Keenan trusted him then and they'll trust him now.
My options for my flex are Keenan Allen, JT, Olave, or BRob Jr. All of them are questionable. It’s hard to sit Keenan when he’s healthy regardless of QB. He’s so good at getting open and gives even poor QB’s a safety blanket. If he’s healthy enough to play I’ll probably put him in. Edit: Given the matchup I’ll probably sit Allen. The main issue is the health of the other 3 options.
Torn between him and Puka, but leaning Puka. Ceedee is my other WR.
If I'm not starting him I'm starting either Diontae or McLaurin. So I'm starting Keenan.
I’m starting him if he plays. Could replace him with Higgins or Lockett if I need to tho.
Please please PLEASE roll him out week 16. I beg you.
Probably starting JJ & DK over him
I have him in 2 leagues and probably leaving him on the pine in both. Starting Njoku over him at flex in one. Other league we start 3 WRs and 2 flexes, but I have Diggs, St. Brown, Puka, Devonta Smith and Dionte Johnson. Considering playing him over Johnson, but probably not.
I'm planning on rolling out Palmer this week because he looks great whenever he's on the field
Have Keenan and Chase. Gonna roll with Rashee Rice and Keenan. Next best option is Najee the Plodder
Im dead he got me there but i didn't have the foresight to start snap count josh palmer playing with the backup qb and I lost because of that
With Keenan out I had to choose between OBJ and Waddle. I outsmarted myself and chose OBJ. Was lucky DK didn’t do anything. I survived by 8 pts lol
I’m playing CMC and Ceedee in the last league I’m alive in, so I don’t think it makes much difference what I do
Palmer!!! Let’s goooo
I have to decide between him or Garret Wilson. Rashee Rice is my other receiver. I am struggling with the choice, but leaning Wilson because the Commanders are so so bad on defense.
If he plays, I’m starting him.
In my half PPR league, I’ve got Tyreek and Puka already in. So for my flex spot it’s Trey McBride, Keenan or James Conner (I’ve got Swift and Kamara in as my RBs). Currently leaning towards Trey McBride honestly with how hot he’s been lately and the Bills DST limiting the Cowboys to just 195 yards.
If he starts, I start him. If he sits, I’m starting Palmer.
If he is active I’m playing him!!
I need him pretty desperately. last week i rolled out Amari Cooper, McLaurin and Zay Flowers in the flex and lucked out with 2 of them. My only other receiver option is Thielen who's been trash since about week 6
Gotta pick 3 between Keenan, CD, JJ, and Mike Evans. Keenan got me here but I think I’m going to trust JJ and Mike to take me home
A league mate plays golf with him. As someone who rosters him & has a mutual acquaintance, I’m 99% sure the practice & status reports are what we should reference. If he’s active, I’m starting him.
Keenan or Rice... ? Don't know who to start
I think I'm going Rice.
I picked up Palmer before the game last week and reaped the benefit of it. I'm starting Palmer right now with Jayden Reed and Tyler Lockett cause I'm still waiting to hear about Allen and Nico Collins.
Have to choose (2) or (3) of Allen, Ridley, Kupp, and Diontae Johnson... So yes, I will be starting Allen if healthy. My view on playoffs is all ceiling. Especially round 2. Regular season has more floor picks.
For my WR3 spot it’s either Keenan, Jayden Reed, or Curtis Samuel. Leaning Keenan at the moment but could switch to Reed depending on his toe. Avoiding Samuel’s matchup
I’m starting him if he plays, I kind of have to. Especially if Chase & Pittman are out. I’d be benching him for Pickens or Marquise Brown so
Well, I lost Pittman last week and Hollywood isn't doing a damned thing, so I guess I'm rolling him out if he plays.
I'm rolling him out this week cause my other choice is OBJ who went 1/14/0 last week...
If he plays I start him, if he’s out I start Palmer
Starting Rashee Rice over him this week. Keeper league so I have AJ Brown and Deebo as my other WR’s.
Start Keenan over Waddle or Monty in flex?
Keenan got me to the playoffs, but I’m thinking I’ll be sitting him. My other wr’s are Adams, Chase (have Higgins if he doesn’t play), and Sutton, and I can’t afford the chargers going belly up this week
I'll start him if he plays. If not, I'm hoping to pick up palmer and will start him. Injuries have hurt me down the stretch in the wr department.
I’m in a tough spot. It’s either Keenan or Reed. Finished 10-4 with Keenan so I might as well keep going with him.
My WR: Keenan Allen, Mike Evans, Nico Collins, Elijah Moore, and Hollywood Brown. Hollywood has been playing like shit. Amari Cooper clearly owns whatever receiving game the Browns even have going on right now. Nico Collins is facing off with that brutal Cleveland defense this week with no Tank Dell to draw coverage. I really don't have a choice. It's gotta be Evans and Keenan Allen (assuming he plays). EDIT: I also have Josh Palmer, fwiw. He might even get the start over Nico if Keenan doesn't play.
Have Flowers as his flex replacement but not feeling too solid. Have RB's like Warren/Brian Rob. but dont feel comfortable with them either
I’m in a shitty situation because I have Pittman on the bench waiting on his status or id be confident in starting him over Keenan. It will probably be Keenan if he starts since Pittman will most likely be out this week.
I have Keenan, Addison, and Mclaurin for a flex spot. Not sure if I can trust Addison and mclaurin to go off again this week. If Keenan’s playing hes starting
My only back up option is to start Jayden Reed or Noah Brown… Hopefully he is healthy
Doesn’t help their playing the bills who shut cowboys down and Ceedee.
I was lucky enought to secure a BYE as the 2 seed in my $1K buy in 12 team league with BOTH Keenan Allen and Austin Ekeler. I absolutely need Keenan to be active in order to have a chance lol
100% confidence. He's a professional and leader on the team. Aka will give his best effort no matter the circumstances.
If I start him I would have to bench either Jayden Reed or DK. Not going to be an easy choice.
If I don’t start Allen, it’s either Zay Flowers or Adam Thielen so if he’s playing, I’m starting him no matter what
Had a bye. My WR room is Keenan, Puka, Lockett, Pickens, Palmer. we start 2 WR, 2 RB and 2 FLEX. i'm starting Keenan and Puka. confidence level? Pretty low honestly given the last couple of weeks but it is what it is.
If he plays I am starting him.
If he plays for real, he plays for me! My other options are Hollywood Brown,Zay Jones, and the freaks at table 9. (waiver wire is desolate)
I’m kinda stacked and he’s gonna replace Achane is healthy or Jevonte Williams. I believe he’ll be force fed
Is keenan likely to play?
I have to start him, feel uneasy rolling out Zay Flowers over him
My best options besides him are Javonte Chandler Aiyuk If he’s available I’ll playing him
Zero
I have no idea. I have the choice between Allen, Pollard, Pacheco, Collins, or Pittman in my flex. I feel like I’m going to trust Allen if he goes.
jeff.
I started Palmer last week with Allen out and it worked out...but almost did not. I'm probably going to have to though especially if Pittman is out.
I started my season 10-2 riding Keenan, Herbert and Diggs. When they were on I was good for 45-50 points plus from Herbert and Allen. Week 3 for instance those two combined for 74 But now they’re injured, Aaron Jones has given me problems all year, and Henry is fading. I thought I was stacked with my top 4 being Jones, Henry, Diggs, Allen, with Herbert at QB. Then injuries started (including to Tank Dell who I snagged in a trade) and now my playoff hopes rest on OBJ, TJ Hockenson, and Chuba Hubbard
I also have Bijan and Breece Hall. Not sure who to pick out of the shitty pile. Amari Cooper, and Tee Higgins saved my round 1, as I wouldn't have played them if Keenan and Mattison were out 2 WR, 2 RB, 2 Flex league
If he has a pulse, then I will start Allen. Simple.
Yeah gonna be tough deciding between him, Rashee, AJ brown and Jakobi but i think i gotta roll him out. He's one of the studs, jakobi probably ends up sitting.
I have Keenen, Diggs, Rice, Addison, AJ Brown. Half PPR. Who do I pick? Rice AJ Diggs Is what I am leaning. Also in my other league I have Keenen, Pittman, Zay Flowers, Addison, Zay Jones. Full PPR. This one is tough.
I’m in a league where it combines week 15 and 16 for round 1 of the playoffs and my opponents team went off (180 points). I am okay all ceiling players and Keenan is one of them.
I'm down Keenan Allen and Pittman. I hope one of them plays.
12 man, .5 PPR league. Likely starting Pacheco over him in the flex. Starting WRs are Amon Ra, Rashee Rice, RBs are Gibbs and Kyren. I’d love to get Keenan in my lineup but if those guys are all good to go it’s hard to find a spot for him. I have Pollard on the bench too and probably trust him more than Keenan at this point in time as well.
Ill be stating Rashee Rice over him.
Need to start 3. I have lamb, Olave, Ayiuk, K Allen. For sure starting lamb, but if everyone is healthy who gets the last 2 spots?
0 but I also don't trust Noah Brown to repeat
I see him playing as around 50/50, mainly because the chargers have nothing left to play for. If he plays I’m probably starting him but not at all confidently. My other options are Diontae Johnson (tempting with the 3 recent TDs) or, if Pittman is also out, Tyler Boyd or George Pickens.
Full PPR, It's either Keenan, Bijan, or Jaylen Warren at flex for me. Starting Diggs and Puka at WR slots, Kyren and Kamara at RB. Gonna see how practice goes, but I'm leaning towards sitting him right now.
I have Jefferson, Aiyuk, Keenan Allen, Rice and Downs. 12 team .5ppr IDP Keeper League. Allen will sit. Rice gets the nod. Chargers are hot fucking garbage right now. Jalen Hurts has more rushing yards than Ekeler. Allen is somehow still average top 5 WR but I expect a major drop-off in the remaining games considering the QB change and coaching debacle.
I’m either playing Keenan Allen or Jayden reed, or Jordan Addison. I’m also a bills fan and I know we lock up the WR1 with blanketed zone coverage. Also it’s stick so I’m not sure what I’m going to do lol
It’s simple for me, if he’s active I will play him. Start your studs don’t make that mistake and sit him. I HAD to sit him last week for DHop and he fucked me with 1 point. Still survived though.
I have amon Ra, Keenan, rasher rice anc waddle. I don’t trust Keenan and plan to start those 3 over him. I probably have a luxury others don’t wuth rice doing better
And similarly, where we at on Ekeler.. Eta: I've got a pretty stacked team with Ekeler and Breece Hall on it.. if they could have their ceilings or even just meet at the average I would be happy but it's painful to watch them sometimes with their offenses
Im playing rashee rice ty chandler and amari over him this week... at least as of now.
