San Diego Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen was a late addition to the injury report on Thursday, being limited in practice with a listed groin injury.
Fantasy owners probably shouldn’t be worried about Keenan Allen’s groin injury
Keenan Allen was a midweek addition to the Chargers’ injury report, but it sounds like his groin issue is minor. We break down the fantasy implications.

It's concerning when a player gets added to the injury report midweek because that usually means he got hurt during practice. It doesn't appear that Allen suffered a major injury and he should be fine for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.
Allen has 10 catches for 92 yards in the first two games, although he has yet to find the end zone. He was held to five receptions for 55 yards by the Seattle Seahawks last week.
Fantasy impact: Allen’s injury shouldn’t be a major concern, but it’s worth monitoring on Friday when the team releases its final injury report. He’s the No. 1 receiver on a team that plays meticulous ball-control offense, so consistent targets might be hard to come by, but Allen has legitimate WR1 upside and could tee off on Buffalo’s secondary. Keep him in your lineups for now.
