After three straight Pro Browl seasons in which Los Angeles Chargers wideout Keenan Allen has played all 16 games, totaled at least 97 catches and 1,196 yards while snagging six touchdowns in each of those years, it’s more than safe to say he’s one of the most consistent and productive talents at WR in the league.
Is he among the elite names like Michael Thomas, Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins and others? He might be in the tier just below.
The NFL Network’s top 100 players list is coming out for 2020, and despite Allen’s terrific 2019, he went from being ranked 38th to 77th overall, which is strange. Allen went off on Twitter in response and said he was better than some other big names:

Is he really better than Tyreek Hill, who had fewer receiving yards than Allen last year? Is he better than Mike Evans, who has scored more touchdowns in the past two seasons? Even if you agree or disagree, we can all say that dropping Allen that many spots after a great year is just weird.
