Kyle Allen News
Free-agent quarterback Kyle Allen signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. Allen, a six-year NFL veteran, has thrown for 4,734 yards, 26 touchdowns, and 21 interceptions through his first 30 NFL games with the Commanders, Panthers, Texans, and Bills. With Russell Wilson and Justin Fields now on the roster, Allen is likely competing to be the team's emergency quarterback and scout team signal-caller. The Steelers carried three quarterbacks on the roster last season, so he has a path to sticking around beyond the offseason and training camp. However, he can be safely ignored in fantasy football, regardless of format.
Buffalo Bills quarterbacks Kyle Allen and Matt Barkley have an open competition for the backup QB role in training camp, but Allen has displayed a clear higher level of ability through all of his repetitions in training camp than Barkley. It comes down to arm strength and decision-making, and Allen has shown a consistent ability to zip passes into tighter windows in the intermediate areas of the field. Barkley has shown some accuracy issues on his touch throws. If the separation of ability continues between the two signal-callers, it might not take much longer for Allen to get all of the second-team time in training camp as the backup behind Josh Allen entering the 2023 regular season.
The Buffalo Bills' backup quarterback job will be more of a competition in 2023 than it was this past year between Kyle Allen and Matt Barkley. Allen is the likeliest to win the job behind Josh Allen with the Bills successfully getting Barkley to the practice squad in past years. Kyle Allen, 27, has made 19 career starts in the NFL in his five seasons, with two coming last year for the Houston Texans. In 23 career games with the Panthers, Commanders and Texans, he has completed 62.6 percent of his passes for 4,734 yards, 26 touchdowns and 21 interceptions. Even if Kyle Allen is forced into starting duties at some point in 2023, he won't be anything more than a low-end QB2 play in superflex leagues.
