Keenan Allen

Keenan Allen caught 3-of-3 targets for 25 yards in the Bears’ Week 18 win over the Packers.

After a somewhat absurd Thanksgiving to Christmas heater, Allen ends the season with back-to-back 25-yard outings. Beset by his now-typical lower-body woes to begin the season, Allen surprisingly didn’t miss a game after returning to the lineup for good in Week 4. Good news as he heads to free agency for the first time, but the soon-to-be 33-year-old has certainly lost a step even as he continues to compile in the short area of the field like few others in the league. Pro Football Focus charted Allen’s yards per route run as cratering from 2.36 in 2023 to a rough 1.36 (approximately). That number, of course, could say as much about the Bears’ abysmal offense as Allen’s age. The Bears will probably explore re-signing Allen after he unsurprisingly became a Caleb Williams security blanket, but he will arguably have more value as a one-year rental for a contending club.
