Keenan Allen Will Play Week 18 to Chase $1 Million in Incentives

Allen says he will suit up to reach contract triggers tied to receptions and yardage bonuses.

Overview

  • With the playoffs secured, the Chargers plan to rest multiple starters, and backup quarterback Trey Lance is set to start against Denver.
  • Allen needs nine receiving yards to reach 750 for a $250,000 bonus and six more catches to reach 80 for an additional $750,000.
  • He enters the finale with 74 receptions for 741 yards and four touchdowns across 16 games.
  • The six-catch threshold has been rare for Allen this season, occurring only three times and not since October, which could make the larger payout harder to secure.
  • Other Chargers also have single-game incentives in play, including Benjamin St-Juste needing an interception and Troy Dye a sack for $125,000 each.
