Your ultimate dilemma in fantasy football is weighing risk versus reward. And the quicker you

solve this problem, the better your fantasy teams will be. And I'm here to help with that.

Here are five risky players that your friends think are safe. Starting with Chargers wide receiver

Keenan Allen, who over the last three seasons has seen his efficiency drop every year. Last year,

he was 35th in the league, which isn't awful, but for a guy like

Keenan Allen who has been top 10 year after year in route running, this starts to be a concern.

And this is a normal trend for receivers as they approach their 30s. And this past April,

Allen turned 30. Now, here's why this is a concern. 30-year-old wide receivers see an average

efficiency drop of an additional 25%, which means

that Allen's number of being around 35th in the league right here would push towards being 50th

in the league in wide receiver efficiency.

And while being 35th last year, he was the 11th overall wide receiver.

But if he was to approach 50th, the average receiver in that range finishes 27th in fantasy points. Which is important to note

because right now, Alan is going as a top 12 wide receiver, and it is very rare to see after

three straight years of efficiency drops it go the other way in your older years. And not to mention,

last year in the first year of the new offense, other offensive coordinator, Joe Lombardi,

Mike Williams was the featured ex-receiver.

And that resulted in Mike Williams leading the team in deep targets and the most targets

inside the 10-yard line. But that's not all. Because last year, Keenan Allen hit a career

low in yards after the catch. He's known for getting open with his route running and doing

things after the catch. 32%. That is the drop that he saw last year, by far the worst of his career. And that's because

last year, Keenan Allen saw a career low, 1.7 yards after the catch per target. This was 32%
