Matchup to Love: Keenan Allen vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has had a spectacular career, highlighted by five Pro Bowl selections, but he had the game of his life in Week 3.

Going up against a struggling Minnesota Vikings secondary, Allen lit them up 215 yards on 18 receptions, plus he even threw a 49-yard touchdown pass.

While it would be difficult to repeat that performance, the stars are aligned for another huge showing in Week 4, as the Chargers are going up against the Las Vegas Raiders, who have given up several big plays through the air this season.

The Raiders rank 26th in quarterback rating allowed this season and tied for 30th in passing touchdowns allowed with seven, plus they have yet to record an interception.

All of those stats point toward Chargers superstar quarterback Justin Herbert feasting, and Allen will be the main beneficiary.

L.A.'s No. 2 wideout, Mike Williams, suffered a season-ending torn ACL in Week 3, meaning Allen will unquestionably be Herbert's go-to option.

Josh Palmer and rookie Quentin Johnston will get work in the passing game as well, but Allen is clearly Herbert's favorite target, and given how Vegas' pass defense has fared this season, he shouldn't have any issue getting open.

Sleeper: Marquise Brown (ARI)

While it is easy to overlook and dismiss Arizona Cardinals players from a fantasy perspective, that has proved to be a mistake through three weeks this season, at least when it comes to wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown.

Most of the Cards' skill-position players plummeted down draft boards during the summer when it became clear that quarterback Kyler Murray would not be ready for the start of the season and perhaps wouldn't play at all in 2023.

Arizona entered the season with journeyman Joshua Dobbs under center, and while he hasn't been spectacular, he has been more than serviceable.

Dobbs has been good enough to support Brown as a fantasy-relevant wideout, especially over the past two weeks.

Brown had six receptions for 54 yards and a touchdown in Week 2 and five receptions for 61 yards and a touchdown in Week 3, which suggests Dobbs looks for him near the end zone.

The fact that the Cardinals are facing a stout San Francisco 49ers defense in Week 4 could scare some fantasy managers away from starting Brown, but the numbers suggest the fear is unfounded.

The Niners are only 14th in the NFL against the pass, so while they have been solid, they haven't shut down opposing passing attacks.

A big reason for that is the fact that the 49ers typically play from ahead and force the opposition to pass, and that will almost certainly be the case for Arizona in Week 4, which should open the door for another strong outing from Hollywood.
