Keenan Allen has signed with the Indianapolis Colts, adding depth to their wide receiver corps. At age 34, Allen remains a viable option for fantasy football, having caught a total of 151 passes over the last two seasons. The signing affects other Colt receivers, particularly Josh Downs and Alec Pierce, as fewer targets may now be available. Pierce is currently on the Physically Unable to Perform list and recovering from offseason ankle surgery. While Allen's experience should benefit the Colts under coach Shane Steichen, it could hinder the expected growth of younger players.
