Back when the Chargers traded Allen to the Chicago Bears last offseason, they acquired the 10th pick in the 2024 NFL draft. That, in turn, was one of two picks the Chargers traded away to the New England Patriots to move up and draft Ladd McConkey in the second round that year.

Adding Allen only enhanced the talent pool available to make quarterback Justin Herbert’s life that much easier in the season to come.

Keenan Allen is back with the Chargers after he signed a one-year, $8.52 million contract Tuesday. And now things get complicated for Fantasy managers when it comes to the Chargers receiving corps. Allen started his career with the Chargers in 2013 -- when the team was still in San Diego -- and spent 11 seasons with the franchise through 2023.
