2024 Fantasy Outlook
Allen's 11th and final season with the Chargers was perhaps his best, featuring career highs for yards per game (95.6) and PPR scoring average (21.5). Only Tyreek Hill and CeeDee Lamb were more productive among WRs before Allen missed the final four weeks with a heel injury. The Chargers nonetheless wanted him to take a pay cut with one year and $23.1 million remaining on his contract, and they then shipped hip to Chicago for a fourth-round pick when he rightfully declined. While it might've been a good business decision, Allen now will be paired with a rookie QB (presumably USC's Caleb Williams) and probably won't dominate targets the way he did in Los Angeles. It's not automatic that a 27-year-old DJ Moore will see more passes than a 32-year-old Allen, but there's no question it's a possibility, especially with Moore also coming off a career year. On top of that, the Bears have ninth overall pick Rome Odunze at wide receiver, two capable pass catchers at tight end (Cole Kmet, Gerald Everett) and a new running back (D'Andre Swift) who figures to see a decent number of targets. There's still an upside scenario in which Williams is an instant star and Allen his go-to guy, but the more likely outcome involves Allen experiencing noteworthy declines in both target share and quality of QB play.

Could sign extension this offseason
GM Ryan Poles said Monday that he thinks Allen will sign an extension with the Bears "down the road" after the team handles other contracts, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Poles seems to be suggesting that the Bears first want to work out extensions for players that have been with the team longer, though they already took care of two big ones in DE Montez Sweat (November) and CB Jaylon Johnson (March). Allen's new partner at wide receiver might be next in line, as DJ Moore's contract has two more seasons and $32.1 million but nothing guaranteed. Allen has one year and $23.1 million remaining, with the large sum explaining why the Chargers traded him for a mere fourth-round pick on the heels of a 2023 campaign in which he had career highs of 95.6 receiving yards and 21.5 PPR points per game (both numbers ranking Top 4 among all WRs). Allen missed the final four games with a heel injury and will turn 32 in April, but there's been no report of offseason surgery or any complications, so he should be a huge asset in the short term for presumed No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Almost went to Houston
Allen was almost traded to the Texans before ultimately being dealt from the Chargers to the Bears on Thursday, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Houston apparently made an offer for Allen, but the Bears' offer of a fourth-round draft pick in 2024 was ultimately the best haul the Chargers could get, which is why Los Angeles traded the veteran wide receiver to Chicago. The Jets also had interest in Allen but didn't make a serious offer, per Russini.

A five-year stretch of hyper-reliability ended last year, with a hamstring injury robbing Allen of seven games in his age-30 campaign. Apart from that he was the same as ever, averaging 6.6 catches for 75.2 yards per game with four TDs in 10 games. It was his sixth consecutive year topping six receptions and 70 yards per appearance, and while he's still never gone higher than eight TDs in a season, Allen profiles as a solid WR2 for fantasy until we see tangible signs of decline. He has a good setup in a pass-heavy offense, with fellow wideout Mike Williams demanding defensive attention but never quite progressing to the WR1 ranks in terms of volume. Rookie first-round pick Quentin Johnston is a potential complication, though he also figures to mostly run deeper routes and should take a lot of the 107 targets that went to Joshua Palmer last year. The biggest competitor for short-area targets is RB Austin Ekeler, who received $1.75 million in incentives to his contract to stay in Los Angeles. The Chargers likely will continue providing Justin Herbert with a high volume of passes, and they may play at a faster pace after bringing in former Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore to handle the same job in L.A.
