From the episode

Keenan Allen may not be young, but he continues to look better than young players... his quarterbacks trust him. Period... you're hoping that he gets to 70 to 75% of the past plays in a game. But yeah, he is a guy that if you need someone this week... he certainly has a really good floor.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Allen's consistent floor and QB trust make him reliable waiver target despite limited upside.

Matthew Berry highlights Keenan Allen as a reliable floor play for waiver wire pickups this week. Allen had eight catches last week and continues to outperform younger receivers on his team; he has consistently outproduced first-round pick Rome Dunze, second-year receiver Ladd McConkie, and now Josh Downs. While Allen is not in a full-time route role (targeting 70-75% of pass plays), his quarterbacks trust him implicitly, and he provides a really good floor for teams needing a plug-and-play receiver this week, though with less upside than emerging breakout candidates.
