Fantasy football: Where to draft Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen

Analyzing Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen’s 2022 fantasy football ADP and where you should target him in your drafts.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen has brought a consistent performance to the field for the last 5 seasons.

In the 2021 season, Allen appeared in the Pro Bowl for the 5th consecutive season. He also tabbed a spot in the NFL’s top 100 for the 4th season in a row.

Below, we look at Keenan Allen’s 2022 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

Allen is expected to be the primary weapon for 3rd-year QB Justin Herbert. Herbert has the potential to lead the league’s most potent offense, ranking 5th in points last season. Allen finished 11th in fantasy points among receivers last season.

Keenan Allen’s ADP: 35.21

(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)

Allen has an ADP of 35.21 in redraft leagues, which puts him in the 3rd round of most drafts depending on the number of teams in the league. Teammates Herbert and Austin Ekeler have higher rankings though.

Among wide receivers, Allen’s ADP puts him 10th at the position, behind the likes of Tyreek Hill (Miami Dolphins) and Mike Evans (Tampa Bay Buccaneers). He places slightly ahead of A.J. Brown (Philadelphia Eagles) and Tee Higgins (Cincinnati Bengals).

Games: 16

Receptions | targets: 106 | 157

Receiving yards: 1,138

Receiving touchdowns: 6

Where should you draft Allen?

You should be rejoicing if you get Allen at his current ADP. Allen is primed to be among the best fantasy options in the league and should bring consistent production, arguably his largest contribution to a team.

Allen is now 30, so some dropoff could be expected. However, he’s gone over 1,000 in 4 of his last 5 seasons and topped 100 receptions in 4 of his last 5. He’s had at least 6 touchdowns in all 5.

I would consider Allen over both Hill and Evans, players taken at a similar ADP.

Herbert went for over 5,000 yards during his 2nd season, almost a 700 yards improvement. Allen is going to benefit from Herbert’s continued growth.

My advice is to heavily consider Allen if you draft an injury-prone back like Derrick Henry or Christian McCaffrey in the 1st round. He’s a consistent force. Mid-3rd round is a sweet spot for the star Charger.

Fantasy football draft: Where to target Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen

Analyzing Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen’s 2021 fantasy football ADP and where you should target him in your drafts.

Following a breakout season by Los Angeles Chargers rookie QB Justin Herbert, No. 1 target WR Keenan Allen will look to set career-high numbers. Below, we look at Keenan Allen‘s 2021 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

Drafted by the Chargers in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft, Allen has not disappointed. He’s topped 1,000 receiving yards in three of his last four seasons and was just 8 yards shy of 1K last season.

Allen caught passes his first seven NFL seasons from now-retired QB Philip Rivers and heads into his second season with the strong-armed Herbert.

With Herbert looking to improve upon his rookie numbers, the storm of his improvement and the lack of other weapons could result in the best numbers of Allen’s career.

Allen’s ADP: 34.31

(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com)

Allen’s ADP has him being the 34th non-IDP player taken off the board. He’s the 10th wide receiver off the board and the second Charger taken, only behind RB Austin Ekeler.

When it comes to wideouts, Allen has been taken just ahead of Philadelphia Eagles rookie WR DeVonta Smith and after Tennessee Titans standout WR A.J. Brown. Allen has been taken as high as No. 15 and as low as 70.

Allen’s 2020 stats

Targets: 147

Receptions: 100

Receiving yards: 992

Touchdowns: 8

Where should you take Allen in your fantasy football draft?

Everything is set for Allen to have the best season of his career.

The 29-year-old Allen will, by far, be Herbert’s top target, and he should catch at least 100 receptions. Last season, Allen ranked 14th for receivers in points per game in standard leagues. In PPR, his rank jumped to seventh.

In PPR leagues, Allen should be taken in the middle of the third round with his value dropping off just a bit in standard leagues.

If he’s not retained in a keeper league, feel free to target him at any point, assuming it’s in the third or fourth round. Allen isn’t an elite long-term option, but he could put up the best season of his career.
