After bouncing back in Week 3 against the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is set up for success going into Sunday's home matchup versus the 0-3 New Orleans Saints. The reigning MVP will face a defense that has surrendered the seventh-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, even though the Saints haven't gone up against anyone in Allen's stratosphere. They've instead struggled against lesser signal-callers in Kyler Murray, Mac Jones, and Sam Darnold. Those three combined to complete 70.8 percent of passes with seven touchdown tosses, zero interceptions, and a lofty 118.9 QB rating. While Jones and Darnold don't scare anyone with their legs, the mobile Murray scampered for 38 yards on seven rushes against New Orleans. That's good news for Allen, an elite dual threat fantasy managers can confidently count on going into Week 4.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was highly efficient in Thursday's 31-21 win over division opponent, the Miami Dolphins. He completed 22 of 28 passes for 213 yards and three passing touchdowns. He also contributed on the ground with 25 rushing yards on four attempts, suitable for a 134.1 QB rating. In a game that had the makings of a blowout, the Dolphins kept it close until Tua Tagovailoa threw a late interception. Allen remains a top-three fantasy quarterback every time he steps on the field and is hoping to continue stacking up wins for the Bills on their quest to bring home the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Up next for Allen is a home matchup against the New Orleans Saints, which figures to be another game that the Bills are heavily favored in.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen wasn't at his best in a win over the New York Jets in Week 2, but it could be a different story against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday. Allen has typically thrived against the AFC East rivals since entering the NFL in 2018. In 15 contests against Miami (including playoffs), Allen has gone 13-2 with 45 touchdowns (40 passing, five rushing), 10 interceptions, 273 passing yards per game, and a 107.6 QB rating. Worsening matters for the Dolphins, they have been ineffective against the pass so far this season. They've allowed the league's highest completion percentage (78.8) and its second-highest passer rating (126.1) despite facing non-elite signal-callers in Daniel Jones and Drake Maye. Miami has also given up the second-most fantasy points to QBs in 2025, making it hard to imagine that its defense will prevent Allen from rebounding in Week 3.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was a fantasy superstar in Week 1, but the reigning MVP fell short of expectations despite a 30-10 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Allen wasn't especially sharp through the air, as he completed 14-of-25 passes for 148 yards and no touchdowns or interceptions, though he did contribute 59 rushing yards on six attempts. To the chagrin of fantasy managers, Allen didn't play the whole game. He missed two first-half snaps with a bloody nose, and with a blowout victory locked up in the fourth quarter, the Bills pulled Allen and let backup Mitchell Trubisky take over for the final eight minutes and change. After a letdown in Week 2, Allen could return to form on Thursday against the Miami Dolphins. The 29-year-old has feasted on the Dolphins throughout his career, having totaled 42 touchdowns (37 passing, five rushing) against eight interceptions in 14 games. Plus, so far this season, the Dolphins have allowed a league-worst 78.8 completion percentage and a lofty 126.1 passer rating in matchups against Daniel Jones and Drake Maye. The fact that those two lesser QBs carved up Miami bodes well for an Allen rebound in Week 3

The Buffalo Bills can exhale after quarterback Josh Allen (nose) has returned to the game against the New York Jets after taking a shot to the face. The superstar QB departed the game after being bloodied when he was sandwiched between two Jets defenders, a collision that popped him in the nose. Allen wasn't out for long, though, as the Bills' medical staff put gauze up one nostril and got back him on the field. Fantasy managers rostering the QB1 can forge ahead as usual.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen put on a show in a 41-40 win over the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday, earning AFC Player of the Week honors after going 33-for-46 for 394 yards and accounting for four touchdowns (two passing, two rushing). The reigning MVP is a plug-and-play option every time out, and this Sunday, he'll take on a New York Jets defense that had difficulty stopping the Pittsburgh Steelers' aerial attack in a 34-32 loss in Week 1. The Jets allowed Aaron Rodgers to complete 22-of-30 passes for 244 yards and four TDs. They didn't have to worry about the 41-year-old Rodgers hurting them with his legs, but that's not the case with a superb dual threat in Allen. Realistically, Allen will have a hard time approaching his video game-like production from last Sunday, but he looks primed for another strong outing in Week 2. Allen combined to go 35-for-52 for 397 yards, six TDs (four passing, two rushing), and no picks in two wins over the Jets last season.

Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen threw on his Superman cape last night as he led the Bills to a come-from-behind win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football, 41-40, leading a drive with a minute and 26 seconds on the clock to get into field goal range and hit a walk-off field goal as time expired. Allen led the charge on Sunday in true leader fashion, going 33 of 46 for 394 yards and two passing touchdowns, while also adding 30 yards on the ground over 14 carries with two rushing touchdowns. Allen spread the wealth last night, targeting Keon Coleman 11 times, Khalil Shakir and Josh Palmer nine times, James Cook five times, and Dalton Kincaid four times. Essentially, Allen made every playmaker on the Bills offense a viable fantasy option last night. The 2024 MVP is picking up right where he left off last year, proving to everyone in a prime-time game why the Bills are serious contenders and why he won the MVP last season. He remains a high-end QB1 that fantasy managers can rely on a week-to-week basis.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is a one-man wrecking crew, but he'll face a stiff test in Sunday's season opener against the Baltimore Ravens. While the reigning MVP tormented his share of opponents in 2024, he didn't post gaudy numbers In two meetings with the Ravens - a Week 4 loss and a divisional-round win. Allen combined to go a modest 32-for-51 (63%) for 307 yards and no touchdown passes or interceptions in those contests. With 41 yards on 15 carries, the dual-threat superstar averaged under 3.0 YPC, though he did find the end zone twice in the Bills' postseason triumph. Baltimore allowed the second-most passing yards in the league last season, but its defense improved dramatically when All-Pro Kyle Hamilton shifted to a deep safety role in Week 11. The Ravens have since remade their secondary with the additions of first-round safety Malaki Starks, who will start alongside Hamilton, as well as cornerbacks Jaire Alexander (knee) and Chidobe Awuzie in free agency. With corners Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins returning, the Ravens' defensive backfield is stacked on paper. That's not ideal for Allen, yet he has made plenty of talented defenses look bad in the past. Fantasy managers will have to hope he does it again in Week 1.

Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott said quarterback Josh Allen will not play in the team's preseason finale Saturday, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Last year's MVP previously had appeared in at least one preseason game every year of his career, but that appears to be coming to end this season. Like many teams with a franchise quarterback, Buffalo doesn't have much to gain by playing Allen and won't take any risks as a result. They'll open the regular season with a Sunday Night Football debut against Baltimore on Sept. 7.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that he's still unsure if quarterback Josh Allen will see action in the team's second preseason game this Sunday against the Chicago Bears. "[J]ust as it relates to [Friday] and then play time overall, I would just tell you, I've gotta get through -- we've gotta get through -- this practice, go home, or go back to the hotel ... go through the injury report and then reset the table for the game on Sunday night," McDermott said. The head coach also said he'd like to get running back James Cook some playing time after he signed a contract extension earlier this week to end his hold-in. Allen, the reigning NFL MVP, did not start the preseason opener last week against the New York Giants. If he sits out again, backup Mitchell Trubisky would make another start after going 9-for-13 passing for 138 yards and a score against the G-Men.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen won't play in the preseason opener on Saturday against the New York Giants, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Mitchell Trubisky will start for the Bills this weekend and play with the starters for around a quarter. Allen could see a little bit of action in the final two preseason games, but the Bills aren't in a rush to put the three-time Pro Bowler out there in exhibition contests. The 29-year-old is RotoBaller's top QB target in fantasy heading into the 2025 season. He threw for fewer than 4,000 yards in 2024 for the first time since 2019, but he threw 28 touchdowns and only six interceptions while adding 531 rushing yards and 12 rushing TDs in 17 regular-season games. Allen will be a prime MVP candidate and has rushed for an astounding 27 touchdowns in the last two seasons.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is studying Josh Allen's play style and is looking to create more plays this season. As per the Dan Patrick Show, Herbert mentioned, "What I respect about him [Josh Allen] is he's able to run power between the tackles. He's able to take the hits and deliver the hits." It sounds like Justin Herbert is aspiring to be a more physical runner after taking a career-high 69 rushing attempts last season. With a body similar to Allen's at 6-foot-6 and 236 lbs., this could be a realistic approach to increase his production. Herbert running more would only boost his fantasy value and comes in at QB17 in the latest RotoBaller draft rankings.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and wide receiver Josh Palmer have shown a strong connection thus far in training camp. According to team beat writer Lance Lysowski, the on-field connection between the two has been growing every practice. The Bills brought Palmer in as a free-agent this offseason, signing him to a three-year deal. With early reports that second-year wideout Keon Coleman has been struggling in camp, Palmer has a good chance of emerging as the No. 1 option in Buffalo, as the Bills do not have a proven alpha receiver on their roster. It is still early, but Palmer has a chance to be an interesting late-round lottery ticket in fantasy drafts.
Jul 26, 2025 8:16 AM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Elijah Moore told the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle on Monday that the chance to play with quarterback Josh Allen swayed him to sign with the team in free agency. "For me, it's more like my whole career, I haven't really had too many great opportunities with a stable quarterback the entire season," said Buffalo's new wideout. The former second-round pick of the New York Jets isn't wrong, considering he's earned targets from a carousel of signal-callers at both of his stops in the pros. After a decent rookie season in 2021, Moore had a falling out with the Jets' coaching staff and was shipped to Cleveland the following year. His production has leveled off since then, but the 25-year-old believes his best is yet to come. Outside of teammate Khalil Shakir, the Bills did not have another pass-catcher accrue more than 45 receptions or 560 yards in 2024. Joshua Palmer is in the mix now, and Keon Coleman should improve in his second campaign. Still, Moore is likely to get a solid chance to vie for targets. He's an interesting low-risk investment for now.

The Buffalo Bills have reached an agreement with quarterback Josh Allen on a record-breaking deal. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. Allen's new contract is a six-year $330 million deal, including $250 million in guaranteed money -- the largest guarantee ever given to an NFL player. Wow. The 28-year-old is fresh off an MVP season -- his first -- and undoubtedly deserves the contract. In addition to 4,262 yards of total offense and 40 combined touchdowns, Allen tossed the fewest interceptions of his career (six). In fact, the Wyoming product accrued the lowest percentage of plays resulting in a sack or turnover (4.17%) since 1970, besting Peyton Manning's mark of 4.21% from the 2006-07 season. This move by Buffalo resets the market and firmly entrenches the star signal-caller where he belongs -- at the top of the list.

ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who won the 2024 NFL Most Valuable Player award, could be looking for a new contract in the near future. He's scheduled to average around $32 million per year over the four remaining years on his current deal and just made $14.5 million this past season. The problem for Allen is that with four years still left on his current contract, the Bills are unlikely to be in any kind of rush to extend him. However, Graziano suggests the Bills could find some ways to adjust Allen's deal to bring him more in line with the QB market, much like the Kansas City Chiefs have done with superstar QB Patrick Mahomes since he signed his big deal in 2020. Despite falling short of the 4,000-yard passing mark for the first time since 2019, Allen threw 28 touchdowns and a career-low six picks and has 27 rushing TDs the last two years to finish as a top-five fantasy QB.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was named Most Valuable Player for the 2024 NFL season on Thursday. Allen barely beat out Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson for the first MVP award of his career. Despite losing receivers Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis, the 28-year-old signal-caller got even better on his way to completing 64 percent of his pass attempts for 3,731 passing yards, 28 touchdowns and six interceptions in 17 regular-season games. The three-time Pro Bowler led the league with a 77.3 QBR and also added 531 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns on 102 rushing attempts for the Bills. Allen becomes the first Bills player to win the award since running back Thurman Thomas did so back in 1991. Allen's 12 rushing scores were second to only the Eagles' Jalen Hurts. He finished as the QB4 in overall fantasy points and will once again be one of the first QBs off the board in fantasy drafts this fall.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (wrist) said on Monday that he's dealing with a wrist injury that he suffered on Sunday in the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game. Allen suffered the injury at the goal line on the team's two-point-conversion attempt right before halftime. "Got crunched up a little bit, was able to finish the game, but some swelling and stuff today," Allen said. The 28-year-old's injury doesn't sound very serious, and he'll have all offseason to heal up after the season-ending loss on Sunday. He went 22-for-34 for 237 yards and two passing touchdowns in KC, also rushing 11 times for 39 yards. Despite finishing as a top-five QB yet again for fantasy managers during the regular season, Allen couldn't get over the hump in the postseason against the Chiefs and is now 0-4 against Patrick Mahomes in the playoffs.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 22 of his 34 pass attempts for 237 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's AFC Championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He also took two sacks and rushed 11 times for 39 yards on the ground. Finally, Allen fumbled three times, but he was fortunate that all three loose balls were scooped up by the Bills rather than a Chiefs defender. The MVP candidate played well in the contest, keeping his team in the game until the final seconds. However, it wasn't quite enough as the Chiefs picked up yet another playoff victory over Buffalo. Despite his season falling short of a Super Bowl berth, Allen has established himself as one of the NFL's top quarterbacks. He should continue to be viewed as a top option heading into 2025 fantasy football drafts.

The Kansas City Chiefs defense took care of business last week in their Divisional Round matchup against the Houston Texans, holding them to 12 points on offense. Despite finishing the game without a takeaway, the Chiefs sacked C.J. Stroud eight times and walked away with the victory. The Chiefs will have a more challenging time in the AFC Championship game against Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen had the lowest percentage of plays resulting in a turnover in NFL history this season. If Kansas City wants to avoid a repeat of their Week 11 loss to Buffalo, they will need to slow the pace and force Allen to make mistakes. It will be difficult to trust the Kansas City defense in DFS and playoff leagues, considering the potency of the Bills offense.
