Analysis: Keenan Allen's value to fantasy football owners and the Bears in general doesn't need to be at last year's level but can and should be high quality.
Complaints from non-fantasy football fans about fantasy league participants usually start with how they're not interested in hearing about how your team is doing.
Mystery follows a player like Keenan Allen to Chicago as he is changing teams for the first time and Bears fans unaffiliated with fantasy football would like to know how he'll do as much as fantasy owners would.entitled "History of WR Changing Teams," the writer did a 20-year study of what happens to wide receivers who move to a new team. They looked at 184 receivers and found the great percentage who changed teams suffer a decline in production.
The reason for this is obvious. Receivers over 30 naturally decline in production but it's not the steep decline running backs have when they hit 30. Allen was the exception last year when producing career numbers after being forced into being the chief target for Justin Herbert following Mike Williams' season-ending injury.
"All the NFL coaches have seen Keenan for a lot of years and the first thing that comes to mind is that he's crafty," Bears coach Matt Eberflus said. "He is so crafty with his route running. It seems like he's always open, even when I used to double-cover him. He is crafty. He understands his body and understands his way.
