Allen missed last week to a groin injury.
The Colts have dealt with several injuries at wide receiver this season. Alec Pierce is currently on injured reserve. Ashton Dulin didn't practice all week with a hamstring injury and was ruled out on Friday. Darius Slayton was inactive due to a knee injury, his third straight absence since being signed. The Colts activated wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine from the practice squad to help with their wide receiver depth. Indianapolis has generally settled into a rotation with Laquon Treadwell at X, Josh Downs at Z in 12 personnel and in the slot in 11 and Allen at Z in 11. In Week 3, it appeared Allen might be heading for a more fantasy-relevant role. He was the most frequent receiver in 11 personnel, and he started to butt into Downs’ playing time in 12 personnel. However, this week, Allen didn’t play at all in 13 personnel and only managed three of 22 snaps in 12 personnel. Allen caught five passes for 45 yards, while Downs hauled in three for 47. This week, it was tight end Tyler Warren who led the Indianapolis passing game with seven receptions for 83 yards. It will be difficult to trust Allen unless he starts seeing more playing time in 12 or 13 personnel.
