Chargers WR Keenan Allen will not practice on Wednesday as he continues dealing with hamstring trouble. “We are being careful with him," HC Brandon Staley said. "It hasn’t responded the way we have wanted." It's concerning news with the Chargers coming off their bye week. It sounds like Allen isn't even a lock to play vs. the Falcons this weekend -- and will probably be on some type of snap count if he does.
The Chargers expect WR Mike Williams to miss a "minimum" of 4 weeks with his high-ankle sprain, according to The Athletic's Daniel Popper. That's a typical timeline for this injury. Williams gets a Week 8 bye but figures to miss at least the next 3 games vs. the Falcons, 49ers and Chiefs. We'd still try to keep him stashed on fantasy benches as a late-season asset. Williams' absence will leave Keenan Allen, Josh Palmer and DeAndre Carter as Los Angeles' top 3 WRs.
Chargers WR Keenan Allen ranked 4th among Chargers WRs in playing time in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and checked in 5th in routes, according to Pro Football Focus. He trailed DeAndre Carter, Mike Williams, Michael Bandy and Jason Moore, running just 14 routes among QB Justin Herbert's 57 dropbacks (24.6%). Allen drew just 2 targets, catching both for 11 yards. We'd bet on a bigger role after the Week 8 bye. Carter caught just 3 of 7 targets for 37 yards, trailing RB Austin Ekeler, Williams and TE Gerald Everett in targets.

Obviously, it’s his first game back, so there will be some type of pitch count — with it being his first game back — if he goes. We’ll just see. But if there’s any apprehension, then he won’t go."
