Los Angeles Chargers: 3 Bold predictions vs. Jets in Week 16
By Derek Snyder
2. Keenan Allen will bounce back from an average Week 15 performance
Unfortunately for the Chargers, Kansas City was able to keep Keenan Allen under 60 receiving yards last weekend in their huge AFC West victory. Honestly, it was pretty surprising to say the least. Not only has Allen been killing defensive secondaries since early-October, but the Chiefs defense has been terrible against wide receivers in that same time-frame.
Needless to say, weird things tend to happen in divisional match-ups and it took the wings away from this high-flying Chargers offense. With that said, there’s good news on the horizon for Los Angeles fans, because Allen is going to have a huge bounce-back performance against the Jets in Week 16.
Just last weekend, this same New York defense gave up nine receptions for 93 yards and one score to Michael Thomas of the Saints. Not to mention, Mark Ingram racked up five receptions for 77 yards as well. If New York’s secondary wanted fans to start Keenan Allen in their fantasy football championships this weekend, they did a darn good job of making it happen.
