Makes seven grabs Allen caught 7 of 11 targets for 36 yards in Monday night's 28-14 win over the Raiders.

Impact Allen was restricted to underneath passes in the first half but had a good chance to haul in a deep crossing route in the second, only for an accurate delivery to fall off his fingertips. Without a gain longer than nine yards, Allen was held in check by the Raiders defense, but the veteran once again led the Chargers in receptions and targets, salvaging some value. Following consecutive games with under 6.5 yards per catch, Allen will hope to get loose more down the field in Week 5 versus the Browns.

Full go for Monday Allen (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's contest against the Raiders, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Allen was a limited participant in practice earlier this week, but a full showing Saturday confirmed his status ahead of the critical divisional matchup. Through three games, Allen leads the team in targets (33) and catches (21) and is second in receiving yards (258) despite the emergence of Mike Williams as a co-No. 1 option.

Impact Despite back-to-back limited practice sessions, so far there's been nothing to suggest that Allen's Week 4 status is in any danger. In any case, Saturday's final injury report will reveal whether Allen approaches Monday night's game against the Raiders carrying an injury tag or is cleared to play in the contest.

Limited by ankle issue Allen (ankle) was limited at Thursday's practice.

Impact We'll track Allen's status leading up to Monday night's game against the Raiders, but so far there's nothing to suggest that his Week 4 availability is in peril. Three games into the 2021 season, the veteran PPR-stalwart has recorded a predictably solid 21-258-1 stat line.

First touchdown of season Allen registered eight receptions on 12 targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Chiefs.

Impact The emergence of Mike Williams as a key red-zone threat has somewhat negated Allen's influence near the goal line, but the veteran wide receiver took advantage of shoddy goal-line coverage in the first quarter to tack on his first touchdown of the new campaign. Allen has seen double-digit targets in two of three games this season and should continue to see a relatively high workload given the pass-happy nature of the Chargers offense.

Goes over 100 yards Allen snared four of his eight targets for 108 yards in the 20-17 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

Impact Allen's 42-yard reception was the longest play of the game, but the star wideout was otherwise kept in check with the Cowboys defense repeatedly bearing down on quarterback Justin Herbert. The veteran wideout should be set for a heavy workload next week against the Chiefs, having recorded at least eight receptions and 80 yards in each of his last four games against the aforementioned divisional opponent.
