49ers acquire Keenan Allen to strengthen wide receiver group

The San Francisco 49ers have traded for wide receiver Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts, in a move reported on November 11, 2026. Allen, signed to a one-year deal, will help fill the void left by injuries in the 49ers' wide receiver room. He is expected to play an important role primarily as a possession receiver, especially on third downs. Allen's performance has been highlighted by a strong catch rate on short targets. His possible participation in the upcoming matchup against the Dallas Cowboys is anticipated, as he previously faced them just two weeks ago, recording four receptions in that game.
