Josh Allen Throws For Over 300 Yards Against Tennessee
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 21 of 33 pass attempts for 323 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 34-10 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He rushed three times for one yard. Allen was on his way to a respectable, but not great, stat line until the fourth quarter. He tossed his second touchdown to running back Ty Johnson and added 125 passing yards to his total on the two subsequent drives. Allen's first score was a red zone strike to the newly acquired Amari Cooper. He and the healthy return of Khalil Shakir give Allen reliable options in the passing game. Allen and the Bills will travel to Seattle for their Week 8 matchup.
Josh Allen Faces NFL’s Toughest Pass Defense In Week 7
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (hand) has no injury designation this week draws the Tennessee Titans, a defense allowing the fewest passing yards per game (137) this season. However, the Titans are in the middle of the pack in average fantasy points allowed to the position. The Bills will likely lean on the running game again this week but Allen does have a new weapon in wide receiver Amari Cooper. The Bills acquired the former Pro Bowl wideout earlier this week. His presence will increase the floor for Allen, who already possesses a weekly high ceiling. Allen, as usual, is a QB1 for fantasy football this weekend and should be started in all leagues.
Josh Allen Totals Three Touchdowns Against The Jets
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw two touchdowns and rushed for another in the team's 23-20 win over the New York Jets on Monday Night Football. He totaled 215 passing and 18 rushing yards. Allen started the scoring for Buffalo with a one-yard sneak in the first quarter. He later connected with wide receiver Mack Hollins and tight end Dawson Knox for passing touchdowns later in the half. The Bills failed to find the endzone in the second half. On a day that the Bills were committed to the run, even without James Cook (toe), Allen turned a QB5 performance for the week. He's a must-start moving forward and draws the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen remains a high-end QB1 despite the difficult matchup on Monday evening against the New York Jets who have allowed the second-fewest points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Allen got off to a hot start this season as he topped 30.0 PPR points in two of the first three games. During this span he scored nine total touchdowns. However, over the past two weeks, Allen has been in a bit of a slump as he has averaged just 13.6 PPR points per game with just one total score. In addition, he could be without running back James Cook (toe) and No.1 wideout Khalil Shakir (ankle) who did not practice on Thursday and Friday. Despite this, fantasy managers should feel confident starting Allen in all formats given his incredible track record.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (head) explained that he was a little beat up in the Week 5 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday. Allen was shaken up on a play in the second half, and backup Mitchell Trubisky came into the game briefly. "Big shot to the chest. Rolled my ankle. They flagged me for hitting my head, but felt good enough to go back in," Allen said. The 28-year-old was quickly cleared for a concussion on the sideline and returned to the contest to finish just 9-for-30 passing for a season-low 131 yards and one touchdown. It's notable that he was without his top receiver in Khalil Shakir (ankle) in this one. Don't be surprised if Allen is on the Week 6 injury report, but he should be good to go for what will be another tough matchup against the division-rival New York Jets and their stout defense. Allen remains a must-start QB1 in fantasy, and the good news is he's yet to throw a pick in 2024.
Josh Allen Struggles Through The Air Against Houston
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed just nine of 30 pass attempts for 131 yards and a touchdown in the team's 23-20 loss to the Houston Texans. He added 54 yards on the ground on four carries. The rushing yardage helped salvage a disappointing day that saw the Buffalo offense struggle. Allen nearly hit tight end Dalton Kincaid on a couple of big plays and clearly missed his go-to option Khalil Shakir (ankle). The touchdown came on a 49-yard catch-and-run by rookie Keon Coleman in the third quarter. Allen briefly departed the game after taking a big shot and hitting his head on the ground. The medical staff cleared him and he just missed one snap. The Bills draw a matchup against the stout Jets' secondary on Monday Night Football in Week 6.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has ping-ponged between being the top fantasy football quarterback and an unstartable asset (QB28) over the past four weeks. Blowouts have been to blame. The Bills won two games by an average of 29 points and then lost in Week 4 by 25. A (hopefully) more competitive tilt against the Houston Texans will keep Allen aggressive and throwing for four quarters. Buffalo's signal caller is on the injury report with a left hand injury but he's practicing in full this week. He could be without his top wide receiver Khalil Shakir, who is dealing with an ankle injury. Through all the tribulations, Allen is the QB4 on the season and should be started in all leagues in Week 5.
Josh Allen Should Be Fine For Week 5 Game Against Houston
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (back) was sore after the team's Week 4 game against Baltimore but should be fine for Week 5 against Houston, according to head coach Sean McDermott. It looks like Allen avoided a serious injury and is on track to face Houston in Week 5, but it will be worth monitoring the injury report this week. Allen is the QB4 on the season, averaging 19.8 fantasy points per game. Allen was 16 of 29 for 180 yards and no touchdown passes against Baltimore in his toughest outing of the season. He will try to bounce back against the Texans this week.
Josh Allen Fails To Find The End Zone Against Baltimore
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 16 of his 29 pass attempts for 180 yards and no touchdowns in the team's 35-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Allen added 21 yards on the ground on five attempts. It's the first game Allen has failed to find the endzone since Week 9 of the 2021 season. Like the prior two weeks, Allen was kept on the sideline for parts of the fourth quarterback due to a blowout. The Ravens jumped out to a quick lead and didn't allow the Bills to generate many big plays. Allen consistently worked in the short area of the field. The team's longest completion (52 yards) to Khalil Shakir was the product of a scramble drill. Fantasy managers should chalk up Allen's performance as a bad week and start him confidently against the Houston Texans in Week 5.
The Buffalo Bills love what they've seen from quarterback Josh Allen through three games. He's playing efficiently, making good decisions and taking care of the football. Allen has also used all of the team's skill players, and the proof of that came in the Week 3 dismantling of the Jaguars, when 10 different Bills players had a catch. Buffalo is 10-2 since offensive coordinator Joe Brady took over play-calling duties in 2023. Not only is the passing game working, but the Bills have run the ball more than anyone else in the NFL since Week 11 of last year (34.6 times per game). Allen has more control and power at the line of scrimmage and is doing more with less in the receiving game in 2024 after losing both Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. In the highest-scoring offense in football, Allen remains a must-start QB1 heading into a Sunday night showdown on the road against the Ravens.
