All Mattek Fantasy Football insights about Keenan Allen
NegativeProjectionOct 30, 2026
Ranked in the F tier with a conservative projection of approximately 6 receptions for Week 8. This represents a low-ceiling expectation from Lamar Jackson.NegativeValueOct 28, 2026
JJ McCarthy ranks Keenan Allen at WR52. While you can get some nice PPR scoring out of Allen, McCarthy notes that the Colts trading away everything that is not tied down is not great for him. Unless the Colts trade Keenan Allen to a better spot, his value remains limited by the Colts' organizational direction.PositiveMatchupOct 22, 2026
Ranked higher than Josh Downs in Week 7 flex rankings. With Tyler Huntley either out or playing with a groin injury, Allen benefits from a favorable matchup. The Vikings are the blitz-heaviest defense in the NFL, which should create RPO hot-read opportunities for Allen to exploit.PositiveValueOct 21, 2026
Ranked 103rd in top 100 rest-of-season rankings; the source identifies Keenan Allen as a clear beneficiary of poor quarterback play and the Tyler Warren injury, suggesting his ranking reflects undervalued opportunity in the passing game.PositiveUsageOct 19, 2026
Allen saw a dramatic increase in usage with Tyler Warren out, commanding a 31% target share and finishing with 8 catches for 82 yards on 12 targets.PositiveProjectionOct 17, 2026
Ranked WR35 with upside. If Tyler Warren misses with a groin injury, Bejian Robinson would move Allen up in rankings, potentially ahead of Jakobi Meyers, as he would see increased target volume in the Colts passing game.PositiveUsageOct 15, 2026
Despite a very low performance ceiling in any given game, Keenan Allen remains capable of earning a large volume of targets; he drew nine targets last week. The source notes he may look foolish when Allen gets more targets than Josh Allen this week, suggesting confidence in his target volume despite limited upside.PositiveUsageSep 21, 2026
Drew five targets in week 2 but converted only one catch for five yards, with the catch being a controversial first down. Poor efficiency despite target volume suggests limited upside in the Colts passing game.NegativeProjectionSep 17, 2026
Ranked 109 overall in Mattek Fantasy Football's Week 2 flex rankings.PositiveUsageSep 16, 2026
Keenan Allen remains an elite target earner despite his age; he was tied for the team lead in target share in Week 1. He is considered a superior route runner and target earner, which creates significant target competition for teammates like Tyler Warren.NegativeUsageSep 14, 2026
Keenan Allen played more snaps than Alec Pierce in Week 1, but his role is expected to decrease as Pierce recovers from a heel injury.NegativeValueSep 9, 2026
The source wanted to rank Keenan Allen higher but needs to see him play first. More significantly, the source explicitly states that Josh Downs is firmly ahead of Keenan Allen in the Week 1 FLEX rankings, indicating the source believes Downs has better fantasy upside or is a safer play than Allen. Allen is positioned ahead of Chika Conquo, Chris Bell, and Caleb Douglas in the mid-tier receiver tier.PositiveRoleSep 7, 2026
The Indianapolis Colts signed Keenan Allen to a one-year $8 million deal. His arrival is expected to impact the target distribution in the offense, potentially elevating his own fantasy value while reducing Josh Downs' targets per route run, similar to how Allen historically 'mogged' Lad Manucci's target share.PositiveProjectionSep 6, 2026
Keenan Allen is projected to average 12 fantasy points per game for the first six weeks, making him a viable starter. He is considered an S-tier fantasy asset with a tighter, more predictable range of outcomes and higher overall upside compared to players like Deebo Samuel.PositiveValueAug 25, 2026
Trey Harris views Keenan Allen as a dependable veteran receiver who remains highly effective at his specific role, comparing his utility favorably to younger players like Josh Downs. Davis Mattek notes that Allen is currently available at a cheap price, prompting managers to question if they are smarter than the market when betting on such discounts.NegativeUsageAug 18, 2026
Following his signing with the Colts, Keenan Allen is expected to play primarily on the outside in 11 personnel, consistent with his 62% outside snap rate last year. His presence creates target competition with Josh Downs and Tyler Warren due to their overlapping average depths of target.NegativeDepth ChartAug 18, 2026
The source identifies the New Orleans Saints as a potential landing spot for Keenan Allen in free agency.PositiveValueNo date
Ranked at WR28, in line with consensus, as an injury fill-in. Mattek Fantasy Football ranks him ahead of Josh Downs this week, having given Downs enough chances and remaining skeptical of his ability to follow up on early-season prime-time performances. Allen has consistently shown up to work and demonstrated reliable production.NegativeInjuryNo date
Keenan Allen has been ruled out for the upcoming game due to a groin injury.PositiveProjectionNo date
Keenan Allen is ranked at WR38, with Mattek noting he projects very well this week against a weak defense. He is also used as a benchmark for Trey Harris's potential ranking.PositiveValueNo date
Keenan Allen is a recommended value pick for teams that start with four running backs in the first six rounds, serving as a reliable WR3 or flex option. Despite averaging 10.7 points per game last year, he remains a strong projectable asset who could rank inside the top 36 wide receivers; he is preferred over Jerry Jeudy and Calvin Ridley due to his high raw route potential.PositiveRoleNo date
Expected to be off the field in 12 personnel, with Josh Downs taking those snaps instead, reducing his role and target opportunities.
