Keenan Allen sits at a 59% roster rate, so he's likely sitting on someone's bench in your league. Three of his next four matchups will be against secondaries above the league average in PPG allowed to WRs. Targets per Route Run: 26.7%, 1st (of all Colts pass-catchers)

STACKED’s take

Allen's elite target share and soft schedule make him a 59% roster gem worth stashing.

Allen sits at 59% roster rate despite strong volume metrics and upcoming schedule advantages. He leads all Colts pass-catchers in targets per route run (26.7%, 1st), target rate on 3rd & 7+ (23.1%, 1st), and TPRR when QB pressured (17.5%, 1st). Three of his next four matchups are against secondaries above league average in PPG allowed to WRs, with similar setup during fantasy playoffs (at TEN, vs. CIN). Even with Daniel Jones at QB (30th in CPOE), Allen maintains 80% catchable target rate (9th among all WRs, min. 175 routes), giving him WR3 appeal in PPR now; if Colts trade away another receiver by deadline, he becomes low-end WR2.
