With Josh Downs requesting a trade earlier this week, it's uncertain if he's going to play going forward. This would put Allen as the de facto WR1 on the Colts, who are 9.5-point underdogs against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This season, the Jags have allowed 39.7 PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers, which is the fifth-most in the NFL.

Allen becomes Colts' WR1 with elite matchup vs. Jaguars' weak WR defense.

Allen is positioned as the de facto WR1 on the Colts following Josh Downs' trade request, despite being 52% rostered. The Jaguars have allowed 39.7 PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers (fifth-most in the NFL), creating a favorable matchup for Allen despite the Colts being 9.5-point underdogs.
