Who is the best receiver in the game?
Whenever that question pops up in the NFL Media newsroom, you typically hear answers like Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, Odell Beckham Jr. and A.J. Green.
Well, it's time to add another name to this group.
Los Angeles Chargers star Keenan Allen not only deserves a seat at the WR VIP table, but he is worthy of entering the discussion as the No. 1 guy on the marquee.
Now, I know that statement will take some of you by surprise. Many folks haven't watched a lot of Chargers games and are unable to appreciate a playmaker who hasn't been sold to the masses as a brand name. That's OK. I'm going to help you understand why No. 13 on the Bolts is one of the best receivers in the game.
According to Next Gen Stats, he aligns out wide (52 percent) and in the slot (48 percent) at nearly equal rates. Although he has compiled more yardage on the outside (43 receptions for 587 yards and a score), he has been a more prolific scorer when operating from the slot (34 receptions for 445 yards and four touchdowns). Allen's ability to work from anywhere on the field makes him nearly impossible to bracket or double-team consistently despite opponents knowing that he's the featured playmaker in the passing game.
