The Los Angeles Chargers will have an extremely key piece of their offense in action on Sunday when they take on the New England Patriots.
Star receiver Keenan Allen – who is listed as questionable – is expected to play through a quad injury for Los Angeles.
#Chargers WR Keenan Allen (quadricep) is listed as questionable and is expected to play, source said. Some good news for LAC.

Allen has double-digit receptions in three straight games, so this is huge for a Chargers offense that is already down Josh Palmer and Mike Williams.

Best Keenan Allen prop bet for Week 13 vs. Patriots
Keenan Allen OVER 8.5 receptions
As long as Keenan Allen is on the field, he’s going to be the top target for Justin Herbert and this Chargers offense.
Over his last three games, Allen has 14, 10 and 11 receptions, and he’s seen at least nine targets in each of his last seven games.
I expect this game to be a bounce-back showing for the Chargers, but they’ll need Allen to do it since the team’s offense has lacked reliable pass catchers.
