Best Keenan Allen Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook
Keenan Allen O 50.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
Allen enters Week 8 fresh off a season-best performance, catching 11 passes for 119 yards and a touchdown vs. the Colts last Sunday. The 33-year-old is now averaging 6.3 receptions for 62.1 receiving yards per game this season, and he’s produced at least 58 receiving yards on five separate occasions. The veteran is leading the Chargers with a 24.3% target share while running a route on 76% of his team’s dropbacks.
Plus, Allen is leading the Los Angeles receivers in yards per route run (1.89) and has racked up eight targets over 20 yards. With Ladd McConkey as the team’s primary slot receiver, 58.9% of Allen’s routes have come out wide this season, which sets him up well for Thursday’s matchup vs. the Vikings.
Minnesota is giving up the third-most yards per pass to players who line up wide this season (10.3), and just last week, A.J. Brown, who has run over 90% of his routes out wide this season, torched the Vikings for a season-high 121 receiving yards. In this appealing spot, Allen is an excellent bet to exceed 50.5 receiving yards.
