Is Keenan Allen playing tonight? The Los Angeles Chargers receiver picked up a hamstring injury in the opening game of the season against the Las Vegas Raiders. There were concerns ahead of the Week 2 encounter against the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. Fantasy football managers are also keen to find out whether Allen will make their team for the Thursday night game.Unfortunately, Keenan Allen will not play against the Chiefs. He did not practice with the team on Tuesday either. Earlier this week, Chargers coach Brandon Staley hinted that Allen may not be fit to face the Chiefs. But on Thursday, the Chargers listed Allen as 'out' for their second game of the season.An MRI scan on Allen's injury did not reveal any extensive damage. The Chargers will be hoping the 30-year-old can return to action quickly, for they are weaker without him on the field.Keenan Allen's fantasy football update and predictionsKeenan Allen will not play against the Chiefs on Thursday nightAllen plays as a wide receiver for the Chargers. He was drafted by the franchise in 2013 and has become a key player for them ever since. Allen is a five-time Pro Bowler and won the NFL Comeback Player of the Year award in 2017.Allen managed four receptions and 66 receiving yards in Week 1 before his injury. This got him a mere 6.6 fantasy points. But this is not reflective of how good he will be for the rest of the campaign.Last season, Allen recorded 1,138 receiving yards and six touchdowns. He racked up 151.8 fantasy points throughout the course of the season, averaging 9.5 fantasy points per game. Although this is far from prolific in terms of fantasy, he is expected to have a bigger year by many analysts.Pinhead Sports® @_PinheadSportsMost receptions in the NFL over the last 5 seasons:Keenan Allen 509 Davante Adams 506Travis Kelce 48063393Most receptions in the NFL over the last 5 seasons:Keenan Allen 509 Davante Adams 506Travis Kelce 480 https://t.co/77UdwxdMnEKeenan Allen alternative picks for your fantasy teamSince Allen won't feature against the Chiefs, you obviously shouldn't include him in your fantasy team this week.
