Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) said after the Week 16 win over the division-rival New England Patriots on Sunday that his arm is fine after he suffered a right-elbow contusion in the second half. Allen said his elbow got hit, which caused him to lose feeling in his throwing arm. The loss of feeling in his arm contributed to a wobbly pass after he took the hit, and he was seen shaking his hand trying to get feeling back. "Just hit the funny bone nerve and went to throw the ball and just had no feeling in the hand," Allen said. He worked with trainers on the sideline to get heat applied to his arm and went back into the game for the next series. The 28-year-old is the front-runner for the MVP award in 2024 despite throwing for 154 yards, one touchdown and a pick in the win over the Pats. Look for Allen to bounce back as a high-end QB1 in Week 17 against the division-rival New York Jets at Orchard Park.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 16 of 29 pass attempts for 154 yards and one touchdown in the team's 24-21 win over the New England Patriots. He also tossed one interception and rushed for 30 yards on six carries. It was an uncharacteristically below-average game for the MVP favorite, who had scored at least 20 fantasy points in nine straight games. The Bills erased a 14-point, first-half deficit with opportunistic defensive plays and an explosive ground game. Fantasy managers who survived a playoff matchup, despite Allen's poor play, can look forward to a rematch with the New York Jets next weekend.
Josh Allen Has Played Through Broken Hand This Season
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (hand) has played through a broken hand for most of this season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Allen reportedly suffered the fracture while diving on a scoring play in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, and he has been treating the injury ever since. The broken hand only makes Allen's MVP-caliber season all the more impressive. The 28-year-old has been spectacular under center, completing 64.4 percent of his passes for 3,395 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, and five interceptions. He also has 484 rushing yards and a whopping 11 touchdowns, pushing the Bills to an 11-3 record so far.
Josh Allen Should Continue His Dominant Stretch Against New England
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has strung together nine straight games of over 20 fantasy points. There's optimism the streak will extend to 10 games when the MVP favorite takes the field against the New England Patriots. Before last week, the Patriots were the worst defense against fantasy football quarterbacks over the last month. The Bills are 14-point favorites on Sunday afternoon, which could take the football out of Allen's hands earlier than the final whistle. However, Allen runs plenty and should score a QB1's worth of fantasy points before any potential blowout. He's the top-ranked quarterback this week.
Josh Allen Goes Nuclear Again, Post-Game X-Rays Come Back Clean
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (shoulder) completed 23-of-34 passes for 362 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's thrilling 48-42 win over the Detroit Lions. He added another two scores and 68 yards on 11 carries. Wow. The 28-year-old again put on a show, leading his team to a convincing victory on the road against one of the league's better defensive units. Per ESPN's Jeff Darlington, Allen had X-rays performed on him after the game due to concern over a "funky fall." However, they came back negative, and there's reportedly no reason for concern. The former first-round pick has been incredible over his last two contests, combining for 854 yards and ten total touchdowns. For reference -- the Denver Broncos racked up 193 yards as a team today in four quarters. Allen and the Bills get a meeting with the Patriots next Sunday in Week 16.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, the favorite to win NFL MVP entering Week 15, is doing things only an MVP would do. From logging a passing and receiving touchdown on the same play to the highest fantasy score ever by a quarterback, Allen is on a heater. He has a good chance to extend his 20-point fantasy scoring streak to nine games against the Detroit Lions. While the Lions have been stingy against quarterbacks this season (fifth-fewest points per game), a defense has yet to handle Allen in this stretch. The matchup features the slate's highest over/under line, and points should come easy. Allen is an easy start for fantasy managers this week.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw for three touchdowns and added three more on the ground in the team's 42-44 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Allen was the biggest beneficiary of the shootout in the City of Angels. In addition to his six scores, Buffalo's franchise quarterback threw for 342 yards and ran for 82 on 10 carries. Although he hit a season-high mark for rushing yards, all three touchdowns were one-yard plunges. All of that production turned into 51 fantasy points. Despite the loss, Allen's performance confirms his status as the favorite to win MVP. Another shootout against the Detroit Lions could be on tap next week.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen remains a reliable QB1 as he and the Bills travel to Los Angeles to take on the Rams. He's scored 20 fantasy points every game over the last seven weeks, doing it through the air, on the ground, and even "catching" a touchdown in the snow. This week, the favorite to win MVP won't have to worry about the weather inside SoFi Stadium. The Rams defense isn't much of a concern, either. Los Angeles is a middle-of-the-pack fantasy defense against quarterbacks. For a quarterback of Allen's caliber, that's a green light for fantasy success.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen recorded one rushing, one receiving, and two passing touchdowns in the team's 35-10 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Allen didn't throw often (17 pass attempts for 148 yards) due to snowy conditions and an effective Buffalo rushing attack. However, he made up for that by finding the endzone in a variety of ways. He connected with Mack Hollins for a seven-yard score just before halftime. Later, he completed a pass to Amari Cooper, who lateraled the ball back to Allen for the touchdown. That counted as both a passing and receiving touchdown for Allen. Finally, he scrambled for an eight-yard score in the fourth quarter. Allen will be ranked as a QB1 in Week 14 when the Bills face the Los Angeles Rams.
Josh Allen Near The Top Of The QB Rankings For Week 13
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen enters Week 13 as a model of consistency for fantasy football. He's scored at least 20 fantasy points in six straight games and is the QB5 in fantasy points per game this season. In Week 13, the Buffalo Bills host the reeling San Francisco 49ers. The defense is generally strong against quarterbacks but there are injuries to a few key players, including All-Pro pass rusher Nick Bosa. There's a chance of snow in the forecast, which could hamper offensive production. Nevertheless, Allen has been too good to fade and should be in all starting lineups this weekend.
