Keenan Allen was on a tear to begin the season before the offense inexcusably decided to move away from targeting the NFL’s leading receiver; still, at 44 catches for 564 yards and three touchdowns heading into Week 8, Allen could be on pace for another 100-catch, 1,000-yard season.
So one has to ask: Will Keenan Allen finish his career as the best wide receiver in Chargers history?
Statistically speaking, here’s how No. 13 matches up with the other wide receivers ahead of him:
- Catches: Third (122 behind Charlie Joiner)
- Yards: Fifth (3,814 behind Lance Alworth)
- Touchdowns: 10th (50 behind Alworth)
Allen is currently under contract through the 2020 season, and is a frontrunner to return to the team via extension when the time comes.
