Injuries have plagued Allen after suffering two season-ending injuries in the past two years. In Week 8 of the 2015 season, Allen suffered a lacerated kidney, which ended his season. Last season, Allen tore his ACL in the Chargers’ Week 1 matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs and missed the remainder of the year.
With such a proclivity to injury, it becomes very tough for fantasy owners to draft a player too early, but Allen has proved that he has phenomenal upside. In his rookie season, Allen accrued over 1,000 yards and eight touchdowns, and then around 800 yards and four touchdowns the year after that.
