There was a lot of production for San Diego receivers on Sunday. Keenan Allen, Malcom Floyd, Antonio Gates and Royal all eclipsed 80 yards receiving for the day. Allen led the way with an 11-121-2 stat line on 15 targets. Royal is the team's WR3 but is more of a WR4 on the roster when you factor in Gates' production in the receiving game.
Fantasy impact: Fantasy owners should be used to this by now. Royal is barely owned in 20 percent of leagues, and for good reason. There’s no telling when he’ll need to step up.
Between Gates, Allen and Floyd, there’s little room for Royal to sustain anything worthwhile for fantasy purposes. He’s a WR4 that can be streamed in desperation as owners hope to catch him on a good week.
