The career-long Charger averages 74.7 yards per contest over 133 games played. In seven games this season, he&#8217;s averaging 91.9 YPG.<\/p>\n<p>Allen&#8217;s consistency at 31 years old is a tribute to his ability to continue to get open against any coverage.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s evolved. I think that he has stayed consistent in performance because of how committed he is to his craft,&#8221; Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Thursday, via the team&#8217;s official transcript. &#8220;He really plays the receiver position as an art form. What makes Keenan special &#8212; age, as well, the older he gets. His physical gifts aren&#8217;t what makes him special, it&#8217;s how he plays receiver. That consistency that he&#8217;s played with his whole career is because of that commitment to playing the receiver position at the highest level. I think he can do things that are tough for receivers. He can play outside, he can play inside, he can read coverages, he can get to places that others can&#8217;t get to because of his feel.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>          <span>            Related Links          <\/span>        <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>              Week 9 NFL picks: Eagles defeat Cowboys in massive NFC East bout; Bengals unanimous winners over Bills            <\/li>\n<li>              NFL QB Index, Week 9: Jalen Hurts back on top; Patrick Mahomes slips to No. 3            <\/li>\n<li>              2023 fantasy football flex rankings: Top 150 RB\/WR\/TE options in Week 9            <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If he hits the mark Monday night, Allen would become the 54th player all-time to hit the 10K mark.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah, 10,000 is big,&#8221; Allen said. &#8220;I remember seeing Cris Carter get 10,000 yards growing up watching the Vikings play, and it was a big deal then. So I think it&#8217;s still a big deal now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Next on the to-do list?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Catch Antonio Gates,&#8221; Allen said.<\/p>\n<p>Gates is the Chargers record-holder with 11,851 yards on 955 catches over 16 seasons. The final six of those seasons, Gates and Allen spent as teammates.<\/p>\n<p>Allen has been L.A.&#8217;s go-to for years, no more so in 2023 following Mike Williams&#8217; season-ending ACL injury. Allen has 643 yards on 54 catches with four TDs this season. Josh Palmer sits No. 2 for the Chargers with 23 grabs for 377 yards.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s a baller. He works hard. He practices harder than any guy that you know,&#8221; safety Derwin James said of Allen. &#8220;For him to be able to do what he&#8217;s been doing, nothing but love for him, nothing but respect. He&#8217;s going to go down as one of the greats, get that gold jacket one day, for sure.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfl.com\/news\/chargers-wr-keenan-allen-nearing-10-000-career-receiving-yards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Keenan Allen simply hits his career yards per game average, the wideout will become the second Chargers player in franchise history to hit the 10,000-yard mark on Monday night against the New York Jets.
