What It Means:

Allen faces a difficult matchup in Week 6 against a Steelers' pass defense rated 6th overall by our power rankings. That said, the Chargers are dealing with a plethora of injuries to their offense and it makes sense for them to get the ball out quick to Allen. The last time these two teams faced off, in Week 12 of last season, the Steelers attempted to cover Allen with a linebacker, which resulted in 14 catches for 148 yards and 1 touchdown for Allen on 19 targets.

Allen's Week 6 projection includes 6.5 receptions for 81.2 yards and .51 touchdowns on 9.8 targets. He is priced at $7,300 on the Sunday-Monday slate and $14,000 on the single-game Sunday night slate.
