Positive signalUsage

Allen at 25% target share over three games; downgraded vs. Vikings' pass defense.

Allen set season-high marks in targets (11), receptions (eight), and yardage (82) against Tennessee on Sunday. He has handled at least nine targets in all three games since Alec Pierce was placed on IR, averaging 14.7 fantasy points per game with 16-plus points in two of the three outings. His short-area role (7.9 aDOT) in the Colts' struggling offense limits scoring opportunities (one end zone target this season), but his 25% target share over the last three games keeps him in the WR3/flex discussion, especially if Tyler Warren remains sidelined. However, the source downgrades the entire Colts passing game in Week 7 against Minnesota, which has allowed the third-fewest passing yards and only three passing TDs this season; no wide receivers have cleared 12.0 fantasy points against Minnesota since Week 1.
