Allen recorded five receptions on seven targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was seemingly the primary focus of the Arizona defense, as peripheral options in the Chargers' offense such as DeAndre Carter and Joshua Palmer were both allowed to out-gain him. However, Allen still managed to make an impact by finding the end zone from two yards away and with receptions of 16 and 13 yards. In two games since returning from a hamstring injury, Allen has recorded 10 receptions for 143 yards and a touchdown.

Allen corralled five of his eight targets for 94 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Chiefs. He also lost a fumble.
EDGE Analysis
It was clear the Chargers sorely missed their veteran receiver as Allen was a frequent target in the early going. Allen's critical fumble with the Chargers driving for the go-ahead score in the fourth appeared to spell doom for the team, but the 30-year-old erased the gaffe on the ensuing possession with a terrific drive-extending 46-yard reception that ultimately led to the team's final touchdown. Mike Williams also made his return after a lengthy absence, but the big-bodied target was forced out of the game with an ankle injury in the second quarter. Should Williams' injury prove to be troublesome, expect more of the burden of the passing game to fall on Allen and Joshua Palmer.

Allen (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Also in action is Mike Williams (ankle), with Los Angeles' top two wideouts making their first game appearances since Week 7. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Williams is expected to garner a full workload in the contest, while Allen could be on something of a pitch count, possibly in the range of 30-35 snaps. That figures to be enough work for Allen to be a factor in Week 11, but it may take him some time to get back into his usual high-volume role. Meanwhile, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter figure to return to lesser roles in the offense now that Allen and Williams are both back in the mix.

Allen (hamstring), who is in line to play Sunday against the Chiefs, likely will be operating under a pitch count, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Considering Allen will be making just his third appearance of the season Sunday, if active, it's no surprise the Chargers will take a cautious approach with the 10th-year pro. He was able to log a full practice Friday after opening Week 11 prep with back-to-back limited showings, but Fowler noted that Allen may be in the range of 30-to-35 plays. Meanwhile, fellow wide receiver Mike Williams (ankle) is expected to handle a typical workload, so the pecking order at the position may be Williams, Allen, Joshua Palmer and DeAndre Carter.

Allen, who's listed as questionable due to a hamstring injury, said he plans to play Sunday against the Chiefs, but the coaches will ultimately make the final call, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has only played in two games this season due to a lingering hamstring issue and has failed to finish either of those contests. The veteran wideout was able to log his first full practice Friday since Week 1 prep and is clearly trending in the right direction, but fantasy managers are still encouraged to monitor Allen's status ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Allen (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs after logging a full practice Friday.
EDGE Analysis
That's also the case with Mike Williams (ankle), which gives the Chargers' top two wideouts a chance to return to action Week 11. Per Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times, Allen indicated that he was able to run full speed this week and felt his usual explosiveness in the process. Meanwhile, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com relayed that Allen believes he's ready to play Sunday, but a determination on that front rests with the team's training and coaching staffs. The Chargers' Sunday night kickoff adds a layer of risk to relying on Allen in Week 11 fantasy lineups, but he's clearly trending in the right direction at this stage.

Allen (hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The same applies to fellow WRs Mike Williams (ankle) and DeAndre Carter (ribs), who were limited Wednesday as well. Friday's final injury report will add a layer of context with regard to the trio's Week 11 status, but Allen, who was able to run routes at practice Thursday, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic, seems to be trending toward being listed as questionable for Sunday night's 8:20 p.m. ET contest against the Chiefs.

Allen (hamstring) was officially limited at practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
The same applies to Mike Williams (ankle), which offers hope that the Chargers' top two WRs could return to action Sunday night against the Chiefs. Per Lindsey Thiry of ESPN, Allen -- who last suited up in Week 7 -- indicated at this stage that he's "just kind of day-by-day" as he works through a lingering left hamstring issue. In two games to date this season, Allen has caught six passes (on as many targets) for 77 yards.

Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) participated in individual drills during Wednesday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
When asked if he thinks he'll be able to play Sunday night against the Chiefs, Allen -- who last suited up in Week 7 -- replied "I hope." In any case, the practice participation of the team's top two wideouts offers hope that one or both players could return to action in Week 11, which would be a nice boost for the 5-4 Chargers in advance of their key divisional contest.

Coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Allen (hamstring) is expected to return to practice this week, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Limited to just two appearances this season due to a lingering hamstring issue, Allen would be a welcome presence on the practice field for quarterback Justin Herbert and the rest of the Chargers offense. Both Allen and Mike Williams (ankle) are slated to mix into drills, but it remains to be seen if they'll do enough to be able to play Sunday against the Chiefs. Wednesday's injury report will reveal how much activity, if any, Allen was able to handle in the first session of Week 11 prep.
