Keenan Allen at Pittsburgh — Veteran wideout returns from injury in low-scoring road test

After sitting out Week 4 with a groin injury, Allen practiced fully on Friday and is expected to play against the Steelers. With Alec Pierce sidelined on injured reserve and Ashton Dulin ruled out, Indianapolis needs Allen's veteran presence on the perimeter alongside slot receiver Josh Downs.

Our weekly projection slots Allen for roughly four receptions and 33 yards on six targets, yielding a modest baseline near six to ten fantasy points. Facing a disciplined Pittsburgh defense in a projected defensive battle, Allen's low 7% start rate reflects justified hesitation, positioning him as a matchup-dependent flex option.
