Josh Allen Will Not Play in Preseason Finale

Tuesday, August 25, 8:35 AM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen will not play in the team's preseason finale on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, head coach Joe Brady told Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News. The next time we see Allen in a game will be in the Week 1 regular-season opener in Houston against the Texans on Sunday, Sept. 13. Despite finishing under 4,000 yards passing for the second straight season in 2025, Allen finished as the QB1 in fantasy scoring thanks to his elite rushing ability. The 30-year-old threw for 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in 17 regular-season starts while adding a league-best 579 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns. No QB was even in double digits in rushing touchdowns last year. Along with his rushing prowess, Allen could rebound in the passing department after the offseason acquisition of receiver DJ Moore. Allen has not finished lower than QB2 in fantasy since 2019 and is the consensus top fantasy QB going into 2026.

Buccaneers Plan to Release Kyle Trask

Monday, August 25, 6:11 PM

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers plan to release quarterback Kyle Trask (shoulder), a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Trask will revert to Injured Reserve due to a shoulder issue and then work out a settlement or release in order to look for a new team. It means that veteran Teddy Bridgewater will open the 2025 season in Tampa as the primary backup behind starter Baker Mayfield, with undrafted free agent Connor Bazelak serving as the QB3. Trask, 27, was a second-round pick (64th overall) in the 2021 NFL draft out of Florida. He never started a game for the Bucs in his three seasons and appeared in only seven games, going just 4-for-11 passing for 28 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Trask will now be looking to get healthy and latch on with another organization and compete for a depth role.
