From the episode
Well, that's sort of. Yes, you're right. I didn't. I didn't. But he was really good recently. He had a lot of volume recently. But we know the reason why. Right? Josh Downs has not been the guy. There's been no Alec Pierce. Last week, Tyler Warren was out.
STACKED’s take
Allen's recent volume inflated by injuries; flex-only if Warren out vs. Minnesota.
Keenan Allen has seen a bunch of volume recently (six catches for 63 yards and a touchdown on nine targets for 18.3 fantasy points; five for 45 on nine targets for 9.5 points; eight for 82 on 11 targets for 16.2 points over three straight games with nine-plus targets), averaging a depth of target of 7.92 (62nd among 74 qualified wide receivers, indicating short-yardage focus). However, this volume is partly due to Josh Downs not being the guy, Alec Pierce being out, and Tyler Warren being unavailable. Against Minnesota this week, confidence is lower despite the box scores. If Tyler Warren is out, Allen becomes a flex consideration in one-point PPR because Daniel Jones will feel pressure and Allen will be the safety valve to an even larger extent. If Warren plays, he feels less fun outside the top 40.
