The latest NFL trade news put the Dallas Cowboys in an odd spot heading into their Week 10 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. They will face the same wide receiver they saw just last week, only this time he will be wearing a different uniform.

The 49ers are trading a sixth-round pick to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen. Dallas visited the Colts last weekend, and now it turns around to host San Francisco at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Two weeks, two teams, one Keenan Allen.

Keenan Allen goes from a struggling offense to the NFL’s best

Allen didn’t have a productive afternoon against the Cowboys last weekend. The Colts offense and its inconsistencies showed up throughout the entire game, and the veteran finished with six catches for 32 yards.

Now he is joining a much better offense.

To put it into context, the Colts have the 30th-best offense in the NFL. Allen is moving to the best offense in the league by EPA per play, a Brock Purdy-led unit that ranks among the most efficient in football. San Francisco is No. 1 throwing the football, too.

This is a Kyle Shanahan system, and everyone expected the 49ers to add wide receiver help while they deal with injuries at the position. Allen gives them exactly that.

An older receiver room in San Francisco

Here’s the thing about Allen’s new home: he is joining an older wide receiver group than the 49ers probably expected to have. The room already includes Brandin Cooks and Mike Evans.

Evans is “questionable at best” for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. So we don’t know if he will actually play.

If you ask me, that makes the Allen addition much more important for San Francisco this week.

The 49ers also have DeMarcus Robinson and Jordan Watkins at wide receiver, so it’s a healthy rotation. Tight end George Kittle is a significant threat in the passing game, too. How quickly Shanahan decides to work Allen into the game plan remains to be seen. Still, I’d expect his experience to be enough to make him a viable option on Sunday despite the short turnaround.

What is certain is that Dallas will have its hands full with this 49ers offense. And facing Allen twice in two weeks, with two different teams, is about as unusual as scheduling quirks get.

No trades expected in Dallas

As for the Cowboys, no action is expected on the trade front in the final hours before the deadline.

Owner and general manager Jerry Jones said earlier in the day that he does not count on a trade taking place. However, he admitted the Cowboys are indeed hoping to add a running back.

Former New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller is visiting the team, which makes him the favorite for now. He is the only player we know of at this point. Chances are we’ll know who the Cowboys add at running back after Tyler Goodson’s injury by the end of the day. But don’t hold your breath for a trade in Dallas.
