San Diego Chargers receiver Keenan Allen is listed as probable to face the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. He was a full participant in practice all week and will play. He sustained a knee injury in the Chargers' Week 11 game against the Miami Dolphins. Having to leave the game early, the rookie finished with just three catches for 45 yards in a losing effort.
Keenan Allen injury update: Knee injury a non-issue for fantasy owners
Keenan Allen is on the injury report with a knee injury. We break down the fantasy implications.

That was Allen’s second quiet afternoon in a row -- he had a four-catch, 41-yard game in Week 10. Back in Week 9, though, Allen exploded for 128 yards and a score on eight catches.
Fantasy impact: There isn't much of an impact from the injury alone, but the Chiefs have the best defense in the NFL and are likely going to be in quarterback Philip Rivers' face all day. It might be tough for Rivers to get the ball outside of the numbers to Allen, so the rookie is more of a low-end WR2 play with a low upside. Fantasy owners might want to sit him this week and hope he gets hot down the stretch.
