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 him 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.

RANKS
Hoping to play long beyond 2024
Allen said Monday that he's "going to play as long as I can" and is willing to sign an extension with Chicago, Patrick Finley of the Chicago-Sun Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bears reportedly haven't held extension talks with Allen since acquiring him from the Chargers in March, which isn't exactly a surprise given that they used a first-round pick on receiver Rome Odunze six weeks later and may want to sign DJ Moore to an extension this offseason. Regardless of what happens with the contracts, No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams will have one of the best wideout trios in the league, with Moore and Allen both coming off 2023 seasons with career highs for yards per game. Allen is likely looking at a big volume dip in his age-32 season after averaging a league-high 11.5 targets in his 13 games for the Chargers in 2023, but he doesn't seem to be thinking about retirement just yet, instead perhaps counting on another productive season and a big fourth contract. He's expected to be the Bears' slot receiver in three-wide formations and their "Z" receiver in two-wide looks.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Open to extension
Allen is open to an extension with the Bears, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Allen is playing out the final year of his current contract after being traded to Chicago this offseason. There haven't been any reported negotiations between the sides, but Allen has made clear his desire to play beyond 2024 and his interest in sticking with the Bears. The team's interest in retaining Allen in the long term is less clear, as it drafted Rome Odunze in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft and will also likely be looking to extend DJ Moore next offseason, as he'll be entering the final year of his current contract.

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.
