Keenan Allen injury update: How long will the LA Chargers WR be out for?
LA Chargers star Keenan Allen was selected to be one of the top 15 receivers in fantasy football in 2022. Allen was worried about his age and the rise of Mike Williams going into the season. However, he started off strong against the Raiders before regrettably leaving the game due to a hamstring injury.
Fantasy managers are now uncertain about their top receiver in light of this. Allen, is he hurt? He will play in Week 2. Let’s start now. Updates on Keenan Allen’s injuries for fantasy football
Allen caught all four of his targets for a total of 66 yards, as mentioned above, before leaving the game early. After finishing a route, he pulled up, holding his leg, and moved to the sideline, which resulted in this report.
We got the official word that he wouldn’t be back about forty minutes late.
Even though Allen still managed to give fantasy managers a respectable amount of output in Week 1, his availability for Week 2 is more of a concern.

Keenan Allen will play in Week 2 or is injured?
The first person to address his injury was Allen, who downplayed its gravity.
Allen’s confidence gave fantasy managers cause for optimism. Unfortunately, that optimism started to fade when he was listed as missing practice on Monday, and it only got worse when this news was made public on Tuesday afternoon.

Allen has very little time to rest and prepare for Thursday’s game against the Chiefs due to the short turnaround, thus it is quite improbable that he will be ready to participate. Fantasy managers who relied on Allen as one of their top receivers will be hard-hit by this news. It’s disheartening because both teams are expected to produce a lot of fantasy points in this high-scoring contest.
The good news is that since this game is on a Thursday, he will have 10 full days of rest before Week 3, which will increase the probability that he can play against the Jaguars the following week. Furthermore, it is anticipated that he won’t be sidelined for a lengthy time.
