San Diego Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was limited in practice on Wednesday. Allen is dealing with a minor groin injury and has yet to miss a game. He's expected to be ready for Sunday's Week 6 game against the Oakland Raiders.
Fantasy owners shouldn’t worry about Keenan Allen’s limited practice
The San Diego wide receiver was limited in practice on Wednesday and should be fine for Week 6. We break down the fantasy implications.

Allen was on the injury report last week, listed as probable. He was held to three catches for 25 yards in San Diego's blowout win over the New York Jets. Allen appeared to tweak his groin during the game, but still played on 63 of 74 offensive snaps. He has 25 catches for 269 yards on the season.
Fantasy impact: Allen shouldn't miss any time, but the groin might be affecting him more than he's letting on. Outside of his 10-catch, 135-yards line against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4, Allen has averaged just 3.8 catches and 33.5 yards in his other four games, and has yet to score a touchdown.
The Raiders’ defense will be one of the friendliest matchups Allen faces all season, so fantasy owners shouldn’t give up on him yet. However, at this point Allen is looking more like a mid-range WR2 than the WR1 many people were expecting before the season.
