Keenan Allen Fantasy

The Los Angeles Chargers restructured the contracts of wide receivers Keenan Allen and Mike Williams on Thursday. They cleared $8.9 million in salary cap space for 2023 on Allen and $5.46 million with Williams. Allen has been mentioned as a cap casualty this offseason after playing in just 10 games in 2022 due to injuries. However, this restructure says otherwise, so Allen should remain with the Bolts for the 2023 season. The 31-year-old should be able to bounce back this year with better health as a target hog in LA's offense, led by quarterback Justin Herbert. Allen had 66 catches for 752 yards in only 10 games. The 28-year-old Williams is a bit more hit or miss in fantasy and has also dealt with his share of injuries, but he also has plenty of upside under his belt with Herbert throwing him the ball.

Los Angeles Chargers general manager Tom Telesco said that "Keenan Allen isn't going anywhere." Telesco reiterated the point he made in January that it isn't tempting to part ways with Allen this offseason. There has been speculation that Allen could be a 2023 salary cap casualty because he's scheduled to have a $21.7 million cap hit this year while entering his age-31 season. Allen also played in just 10 games in 2022 due to injury and finished with 66 receptions for 752 yards and four touchdowns on 89 targets for the Bolts in a frustrating campaign for his fantasy managers. It sounds like he will be back in LA in 2023, but the Chargers will likely look to restructure his contract to lower his cap hit. Allen's fantasy value is likely highest in LA with quarterback Justin Herbert.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen and tight end Gerald Everett are both scheduled to become free agents in March and could be salary cap casualties. Allen would represent $14.8 million in cap savings as a pre-June 1 cut and $17.5 million savings post-June 1. Everett would save $4.25 million before or after June 1. If the Chargers move on from Allen, they'll need to draft a receiver early to replace him. If they don't cut him, the Chargers still need to add more speed at the position. The Bolts need to find a bona fide No. 1 all-around tight end. Donald Parham Jr. only played in six games due to injury last year, and Tre' McKitty took a step back in his second season. Allen, 30, has been a target hog for LA, but he played in just 10 games in 2022 due to injury.
