It's just nice to have enough offensive weapons that we can wonder how a guy with 28 catches in 6 games is having a bit of down year so far.

I think that it was always obvious that with Floyd returning and efforts to get some passes to Green to go along with the passes that we knew would be going to Gates and Royal, that Allen was not going to be able to produce at the same rate per game as last year when he was the only good WR option at times.
I don't think Allen is playing worse than he was last year, just that other guys are involved more. Also, Floyd (bigger, longer, faster) and even Royal (faster) are better deep options this year, so it makes sense that they would catch more of the longer balls while Allen gets open quickly on shorter passes. The WRs complement each other nicely that way.

Kennan is a lot better vs man to man then zones, so you may well see the breakout game. That could be especially true if KC decides to help their nickle DB with some extra help to minimize the impact of Gates and Royal. That would basically leave Floyd and/or Allen singled up outside.
