Josh Allen Fantasy

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen played the entire first half of Friday's preseason game against the Lions and completed three of six passes for 49 yards and also added 17 rushing yards on two attempts. The Bills went with a run-heavy attack in the first half, but opened things up a bit more in the second half when Matt Barkley threw for 142 yards. This was Allen's lowest passing output of the preseason so far, but there's not much to make of it. Frank Gore and LeSean McCoy got their most extended work so far so it's likely that head coach Greg McDermott just wanted to prioritize other things during the game. Allen remains a solid late-round sleeper to target in fantasy drafts, especially enticing in two-quarterback leagues.

While several teams have yet to see their starting quarterbacks on the field this preseason, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has started both of his team's first two preseason games and has relished the opportunity. Allen was quoted saying there's nothing like live reps and also said that "The teams getting better and Im getting better." Through two games, Allen is 15-for-22 for 168 yards. He's yet to throw either a touchdown or an interception. He'll make his third start of the preseason on Friday against the Lions.

Second-year quarterback Josh Allen took another step forward in Buffalo's second preseason game, a 27-14 victory over Carolina. Allen looked sharp from the jump, completing seven of nine passes for 103 yards, leading scoring drives in the only two possessions he played. Of those seven completions, five were to new Buffalo receiver Cole Beasley, including four in the first drive of the game. Currently being drafted as the 22nd quarterback by NFBC ADP, Allen could leverage his big arm and running ability to a breakout fantasy year, as the only player in 2018 who had more 25+ yard runs than Allen's seven was Saquon Barkley.
