One of those new names is Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen, posted on the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook’s props board for 57.5 receiving yards, a total that feels low considering his recent production. We’re siding with the OVER.
Allen will face a tough Patriots secondary, including plenty of trips to “Revis Island”, but he’s also reestablished himself as Philip Rivers’ go-to option, receiving an average of 11.3 targets per game over the last six games. He’s hit the 58-yard plateau in five of those contests.
Sporting News’ Fantasy Source staff ranks Allen as its No. 22 wide receiver heading into Week 14, citing his recent hot play, but recognizing his date with a tough cornerback duo. For additional analysis and The Linemakers’ lean, check out Ryan Mercier’s Patriots-Chargers betting preview.
