Is Keenan Allen enjoying on Thursday night time?

Allen (hamstring) was limited in practice the previous two days, however he’s totally anticipated to play towards the Raiders. Final week, he caught nine-of-11 targets for 52 yards and a rating whereas coping with the slight hamstring challenge, so we’re not anticipating it to sluggish him down this week. In Week 9 towards the Raiders, he caught nine-of-11 targets for 103 yards and a TD, and that looks as if an inexpensive projection this week.

If Allen is a shock scratch, Mike Williams (again) could be the Chargers’ No. 1 receiver, however he is additionally “questionable,” so it’d come all the way down to Tyron Johnson and Jalen Guyton serving as L.A.’s prime two receivers. The last word results of that could be TE Hunter Henry and RB Austin Ekeler getting extra targets, however given the favorable matchup, each Johnson and Guyton would have boom-or-bust flex upside.
