2 years agoThe Los Angeles Chargers are preparing as if five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) won't play on Thursday night football in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a source. "Given that it's a hamstring and such a short turnaround, it would be unlikely," the source said. The source added that it's also "plausible he could be a go." Fantasy managers should have already been planning for Allen to miss Thursday's game after being ruled out in the first half of the Week 1 win over the Raiders. This early in the year, it makes no sense for the Bolts to rush one of their best playmakers back too soon. He was listed as a DNP on Monday's practice estimation. With Allen likely out in Week 2, DeAndre Carter and Joshua Palmer will become much more attractive as deep-league flexes behind Mike Williams in what could easily develop into a shootout between two high-powered offenses.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
