Speaking of the injury bug, let's all just go ahead and pour one out for Keenan Allen.

Putting aside the very real human sympathy we feel for him right now, nothing is more devastating to the fantasy football player when one of their second- or third-round draft picks goes down for the year, much less after only a half a game worth of action. And preliminary speculation seems to suggest that Allen will indeed be out for the year

So who figures to get the receiving work in Allen’s absence? The most likely scenario is that Travis Benjamin slides in and gets more targets along with Antonio Gates. But another intriguing option, hardly known, and certainly hardly owned in fantasy football leagues, exists right on the San Diego Chargers' roster.

That player is Tyrell Williams, and there is reason to be optimistic about what he could bring to the table.

What makes Williams so intriguing is that he possesses the kind of athletic profile that makes scouts drool, possessing measurables in each of his height-adjusted speed score, agility and burst scores, and his catch radius that place him in the 80th percentile or better.

Williams garnered 5 targets on Sunday, and reeled in 2 catches for 71 yards. His deep play ability may allow him to slide into the bygone Malcom Floyd role, but his otherworldly athleticism may allow him to be even more fantasy relevant than the 9.7 PPR fantasy points average Floyd put up in his career.

In any case, Williams is exactly the kind of high-upside flyer you want on your bench in case his role does crystallize in the wake of Allen's unfortunate injury.
