Keenan Allen

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Bears are confident Keenan Allen (ankle) will play in Week 12 against the Vikings.

Allen was a surprise addition to the injury report on Friday. The team listed him as questionable after being a limited participant in the final practice of the week. Allen seemingly tweaked his ankle in Friday’s practice, but head coach Matt Eberflus was “hopeful” the veteran receiver would be able to suit up on Sunday. He appears to be good to for for Week 12, though fantasy managers may want to give the Bears’ inactives a once-over before finalizing their lineups. Allen has peaked at five catches for 44 yards this year despite being peppered with targets from Caleb Williams. A lingering ankle issue isn’t going to do him any favors, keeping Allen in the WR4 ranks for Week 12.
