Fantasy Impact: Entering Week 11, Allen had scored a touchdown in six of the previous seven games, so although he hasn’t recorded more than four receptions for 64 yards in a contest, he’s been a reliable option this year, particularly in deeper leagues.
It doesn't look like he's going to play this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and even if he does, Allen could be limited since high ankle sprains are tricky to deal with.
Should Allen be forced to sit out, Coby Fleener will take his place in the starting lineup. Fleener caught all seven passes thrown his way last week for a season-high 144 yards. Fantasy owners should definitely pick him up if he is available on the waiver wire.
