Keenan Allen, Indianapolis Colts (versus Dallas Cowboys). If you're digging deep this week, Allen stands out as a streaming option. He has been running more routes on the outside this season than he did during his prime years -- 77% of his total routes run, to be exact -- and that matches up with the soft spots in the Cowboys' secondary.

Allen's outside route rate exploits Cowboys' secondary weakness.

Allen stands out as a streaming option in Week 9 against the Cowboys. He has been running 77% of his total routes on the outside this season, more than during his prime years, which matches up with soft spots in the Cowboys' secondary. Over the past five weeks, outside receivers Nico Collins, Emeka Egbuka, Matthew Golden, and Michael Wilson averaged 24.3 fantasy points against the Cowboys while running 80% of their routes on the outside. Cowboys CB Joey Porter Jr. (ankle) is likely to be questionable, further weakening the defense.
