Keenan Allen returned to elite form for the Chargers, piling up targets and finding the end zone in back-to-back showings against division rivals. Week 1 vs Kansas City yielded seven catches, 68 yards and a TD, while a date with the Raiders produced five receptions for 61 yards and another TD. Across 19 career games against Las Vegas, Allen has 111 catches for 1,239 yards and eight scores, underscoring a matchup-proof ceiling.

His postgame rallying cry to Raiders fans—the taunt after the tunnel moment—adds to a growing Chargers storyline: Herbert’s hot start, a bully-defense presence with Teair Tart, and veteran Derwin James anchoring a rising unit. Fantasy managers should treat Allen as a high-floor, high-upside weekly staple, especially in divisional matchups that frequently shootout decisions.

Raiders fall 20-9 at home as the Chargers’ defense harasses Geno Smith all night and Vegas’ run game sputters. Smith’s three interceptions and a handful of stalled drives sap the offense, while Los Angeles leans on timely big plays from Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston. Brock Bowers is active but yards are scarce. Las Vegas’ defense battles, but the discrepancy in three phases keeps this from a closer result. Week 3 preview: Washington looms.

The Los Angeles Chargers rolled past the Las Vegas Raiders 20-9 on Monday Night Football, improving to 2-0 and topping the AFC West behind a stingy defense and efficient, complementary play from Justin Herbert. Keenan Allen supplied a five-catch, 61-yard day with a touchdown, while the Chargers cruised to a primetime win that reinforced their confident, high-vibe rhythm.

In a bold postgame moment, the Chargers shared a video of Allen taunting Raiders fans as he left the field, underscoring the swagger surrounding a team that looks comfortable at the top early in the season. For fantasy managers, Allen’s target consistency and Herbert’s efficient distribution make LAC a dependable, high-floor offense moving forward.
