Keenan Allen has signed a one-year, $8.52 million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers for the 2025 season. After a 2024 stint with the Chicago Bears where he recorded 70 receptions for 744 yards and 7 touchdowns, Allen returns to a familiar environment.
In 2025, Allen is projected to perform at a WR4 level in fantasy football. The Chargers' run-heavy offense under Greg Roman, combined with the emergence of Ladd McConkey as the primary target, limits Allen's ceiling. However, his role as a possession receiver and mentor is crucial, especially on third downs.
Allen's projected 2025 stat line includes 60-80 receptions, 700-900 yards, and 5-7 touchdowns. His high catch volume makes him a valuable asset in PPR leagues, despite a capped ceiling due to the team's offensive strategy.
With 52 more receptions, Allen will surpass Antonio Gates' franchise record for receptions (955). His advanced metrics, such as a projected target share of 18-22%, highlight his continued importance in the Chargers' passing game.
