San Diego Chargers receiver Malcom Floyd could be looking at some extra target on Saturday. Receiver Keenan Allen is not going to play against the San Francisco 49ers, so his 8.6 targets per game are up for grabs.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 16: Malcom Floyd has some positives
Malcom Floyd may have more looks going his way. Should fantasy owners use him?

Floyd has only been targeted 6.0 times per game over his last five, which should see a small bump to make around 10 or so. He does have 17.3 yards per game, so there is a decent chance he can turn that into some production.
There are a lot of negatives, though. The San Francisco 49ers are a top-five defense against fantasy receivers, so Floyd might have a tough time get it going. Plus, quarterback Philip Rivers is also dealing with a back injury, playing poorly and this game is also on the road.
Fantasy impact: The downside outweighs the upside here. Floyd is only a play in very deep leagues this week and is even tougher to play in PPRs.
