Allen was traded from Indianapolis to San Francisco on Tuesday, and now he gets to face the Cowboys in back-to-back games. He only had four catches for 26 yards on eight targets against Dallas in Week 9, but he was catching passes from Daniel Jones in that contest. This week, he should be a go-to option for Brock Purdy, especially if Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) remain out. The Cowboys are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and nine receivers have scored at least 11.9 PPR points against Dallas this season. Allen should be started as a high-end No. 3 receiver in all leagues.

49ers' Keenan Allen: Shipped to San Francisco
Rotowire
The 49ers acquired Allen from the Colts on Tuesday in exchange for a 2027 sixth-round pick, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
A beat-up 49ers receiving corps will get some much-needed reinforcement in the form of Allen, who has still displayed the ability to move the chains during his age-34 season. Through eight games with the Colts, Allen produced a 40-351-1 receiving line on 58 targets. While Mike Evans (Achilles) and Deebo Samuel (hamstring) may be prioritized ahead of him in the passing game once fully healthy, Allen could have the opportunity to see steady target volume right out of the gate Sunday in Dallas.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Four catches in loss
Rotowire
Allen caught four of eight targets for 26 yards during Sunday's 27-23 loss to the Cowboys.
Allen led the team in targets, but he was only able to compile 26 yards, his lowest output since Week 2. The wide receiver hasn't reached the end zone in his last five games, and the Colts' offense as a whole has struggled mightily recently. On the year, Allen has reeled in 40 of 58 targets for 351 yards and one score over eight contests, and his next chance to reach paydirt will come in Week 10 versus the Dolphins.

Colts' Keenan Allen: WRs to Start
Rotowire
Allen just had seven catches for 67 yards on seven targets in Week 8 against Jacksonville, and he has now scored at least 13.7 PPR points in three of his past five games. Dallas is No. 7 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and nine receivers have scored at least 11.9 PPR points against the Cowboys this year. It's tough to trust any of Daniel Jones' receivers right now, but Allen should be productive in this matchup at home. He's worth using as a low-end No. 2 PPR receiver in Week 9.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Leads team in receiving in loss
Rotowire
Allen caught all seven targets for 67 yards in Sunday's 42-7 loss to the Jaguars.
The veteran wideout finished second on the team in targets, three behind Tyler Warren on a day Colts QBs attempted 30 passes. When on the field this season, Allen has been a consistent target-earner who runs routes that are friendly to quarterbacks in the short areas of the field. Not a big-play threat whatsoever at this stage of his career, Allen is averaging a career-low 9.0 yards per catch on 36 grabs this season. He has just one touchdown and is a low-upside WR4 for fantasy purposes headed into next Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
Allen struggled in Week 7 at Minnesota with three catches for 31 yards on three targets, but he should rebound in Week 8 against the Jaguars, who are No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. Nine receivers have scored at least 10.9 PPR points against Jacksonville, and Allen has scored at least 16.2 PPR points in two of his past four games. He should be considered a solid No. 3 PPR receiver in Week 8.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Three catches in loss
Rotowire
Allen caught all three of his targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Vikings.
Allen was held to his fewest catches, receiving yards and targets since Week 2 as the Colts struggled to establish a passing attack against Minnesota's impressive defense. The wide receiver still led the team in all three categories, and he'll have a chance for better production in Week 8 versus the Jaguars.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Paces Indy in receiving Sunday
Rotowire
Allen caught eight of 11 targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Titans.
With tight end Tyler Warren (groin) inactive, Allen became the preferred option for Daniel Jones when he needed to move the chains, and the veteran wideout led the Colts in catches, targets and receiving yards while setting personal season highs in all three categories. Mo Alie-Cox was on the other end of Jones' only TD pass, however. Allen will take a 26-227-1 line on 40 targets into a Week 7 clash with the Vikings.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Rests up during Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Allen was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice due to rest.
Allen previously missed the Colts' Week 4 win over the Commanders due to a groin issue and was listed with the same injury on the team's Week 5 report, but his absence from practice to begin Week 6 looks to be a planned off day. In his return from a one-game absence during this past Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Steelers, Allen logged just 32 of the Colts' 71 offensive snaps, but he could see an uptick in playing time this weekend against the Titans now that he's further removed from the groin injury.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Not practicing Wednesday
Rotowire
Allen (groin) isn't practicing Wednesday, Nathan Brown of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Allen sat out the Colts' Week 4 win over the Commanders due to a groin issue, but he was cleared to play in this past Sunday's 34-22 loss to the Steelers after practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday before practicing fully Friday. Though he's off the field to begin Week 6 prep, Allen isn't necessarily dealing with a setback coming out of the loss to Pittsburgh and may just be getting a maintenance day. Allen played less than half of the Colts' offensive snaps in his return to action in Week 5, but so long as he resumes practicing by the end of the week, he'll likely be ready to handle a larger workload Sunday versus the Titans.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Week 6 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Allen returned in Week 5 against Pittsburgh from his one-game absence with a groin injury and tied Tyler Warren for the team lead in targets with nine. Allen finished the game with five catches for 45 yards, but he's now had exactly nine targets in two games without Alec Pierce (foot). Allen should continue to get plenty of opportunities to make plays as the No. 3 option in the passing game behind Warren and Josh Downs, and Allen is worth adding in all leagues for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAAB.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Hauls in five passes in return
Rotowire
Allen caught five of nine targets for 45 yards in Sunday's Week 5 loss to Pittsburgh.
Allen missed Week 4 due to a groin injury but was able to return to action Sunday. His nine targets tied for the top mark on the Colts, and his five receptions were second behind tight end Tyler Warren. Allen has been relatively consistent this season with at least five catches in three of his four contests, but he's averaging a meager 8.1 yards per reception, which is on pace for a career low.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Active as expected Sunday
Rotowire
Allen (groin) is active for Sunday's Week 5 game against the Steelers.
The veteran receiver had entered the weekend with optimism surrounding his status for Sunday's game after getting a full practice in Friday, and Allen's availability is now official. Before sitting out Indianapolis' Week 4 victory over the Commanders in London, Allen put together the most productive performance of his brief Colts tenure, posting a 6-63-1 line on nine targets during a Week 3 win over the Texans. In his return Sunday against Pittsburgh, Allen is expected to slide back into his usual No. 2 receiver role alongside Josh Downs.

Allen (groin) was limited in practice Thursday.

After missing last Sunday's win over the Commanders, Allen's return to the practice field puts him on track to suit up Sunday against the Steelers. He should slot back into full-time duties alongside Josh Downs and Laquon Treadwell, with Ashton Dulin heading back to more of a special-teams role.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Returns to practice Wednesday

Allen (groin) is practicing Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
After missing last Sunday's game against Washington, Allen's return to practice puts him on track to play Week 5 against the Steelers. With Alec Pierce (heel) still on injured reserve, the Colts need all the help they can get at the position after Laquon Treadwell and Ashton Dulin were forced into heavy snaps alongside Josh Downs against the Commanders.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Week 5 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
We don't know if Allen (groin) will play in Week 5 at Pittsburgh after missing Week 4 at Washington in London, but you can still stash Allen on your bench in all leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB. In Week 3 against Houston, in the first game without Alec Pierce (heel), Allen had six catches for 63 yards and a touchdown on nine targets, and Allen should remain a prominent part of the Colts' offense when healthy.

Colts' Keenan Allen: Ruled out for Sunday
Rotowire
Allen (groin) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against Washington.
After entering the weekend with a questionable tag following a non-participant listing Friday, Allen will now miss Sunday's contest in London. Without Allen or Alec Pierce (heel), Josh Downs will be the Colts' top receiver for Week 4, with Darius Slayton, Laquon Treadwell, Ashton Dulin, Deion Burks and tight end Tyler Warren all in line for more targets. Allen's next chance to take the field is Week 5 against the Steelers on Sunday, Oct. 11.
