Allen wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report ahead of the Bills' matchup with the Patriots on Sunday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Allen felt discomfort in his throwing shoulder during the second half of Sunday's 48-42 win over Detroit, but he never left the game and was still attempting passes with Buffalo nursing a lead in the final minutes. He's in the midst of one of the best stretches of fantasy production ever seen from a quarterback, with at least one rushing touchdown in five consecutive games and multiple touchdown passes in each of the last three. The Patriots are unlikely to keep pace with the Bills in a shootout the way the Rams and Lions did the past two weeks, but Allen is still the top fantasy option at his position even if he's unlikely to approach his enormous volume from the last two games (71 pass attempts, 21 rushes, 854 total yards, 10 total touchdowns).

Allen wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report ahead of the Bills' matchup with the Patriots on Sunday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Allen felt discomfort in his throwing shoulder during the second half of Sunday's 48-42 win over Detroit, but he never left the game and was still attempting passes with Buffalo nursing a lead in the final minutes. He's in the midst of one of the best stretches of fantasy production ever seen from a quarterback, with at least one rushing touchdown in five consecutive games and multiple touchdown passes in each of the last three. The Patriots are unlikely to keep pace with the Bills in a shootout the way the Rams and Lions did the past two weeks, but Allen is still the top fantasy option at his position even if he's unlikely to approach his enormous volume from the last two games (71 pass attempts, 21 rushes, 854 total yards, 10 total touchdowns).
Allen completed 23 of 34 passes for 362 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed 11 times for 68 yards and another two scores in the Bills' 48-42 win over the Lions on Sunday. One week after a record-setting six-touchdown performance, Allen and his juggernaut of an offense actually one-upped themselves in terms of total points. Allen himself fell short of his unforgettable Week 14 effort against the Rams, but he strengthened his MVP case with a mistake-free day that featured a season-high passing yardage total and his third consecutive multi-touchdown-pass tally. Allen's work on the ground was no less impressive, and his one- and four-yard rushing scores in the first quarter were his fourth and fifth over the last pair of contests. Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports that Allen fell on his right throwing shoulder late in the contest and was briefly examined, but he confirmed in his postgame conference that he'd been cleared after an evaluation, per
Allen completed 22 of 37 passes for 342 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams. He added 10 rushes for 82 yards and three more scores. Allen had a prolific performance in the loss, accounting for all six of Buffalo's touchdowns on the day -- a pair of which came on 51- and 41-yard touchdown throws. He also completed a total of six passes that went for more than 20 yards, leading to his highest yardage total of the campaign and his second performance of more than 300 yards. Allen supplemented his work through the air by getting more aggressive with his legs, as his 82 yards on the ground were a season high. He also has at least one rushing score in four straight contests. All told, Allen became the first NFL player to account for three passing and three rushing touchdowns in a regular-season game in NFL history, per NFL.com.
Allen completed 13 of 17 passes for 148 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 35-10 win over the 49ers. He added three rushing attempts for 18 yards and a touchdown as well as a seven-yard receiving touchdown. Allen wasn't asked to do much with his arm as the Bills rode their running game and defense in snowy conditions, but he still got in on the fun with a seven-yard touchdown pass to Mack Hollins in the final minute of the first half. That touchdown pass was the 245th of Allen's regular-season Bills career, surpassing Jim Kelly for the most in franchise history. His next touchdown pass in the third quarter was also a memorable one, as Allen threw a pass to Amari Cooper, who then latereled to Allen for what went down as both a passing score and a seven-yard receiving touchdown (but not a reception) for the quarterback. Allen added the cherry on top with an eight-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. He has 20 passing touchdowns, six rushing touchdowns and now one receiving touchdown as well heading into a Week 14 road game against the Rams.
Allen completed 27 of 40 pass attempts for 262 yards, one touchdown and one interception while taking 12 carries for 55 yards and a rushing score in Sunday's 30-21 win over the Chiefs. Allen came out of Sunday's marquee matchup between AFC contenders and superstar quarterbacks triumphant over Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. The feat is even more impressive when you consider that Allen received little help from the running game, finishing as the team's leading rusher in addition to his numbers as a passer. Allen has the Bills sitting comfortably atop the AFC East standings with a 9-2 record as the team heads into a Week 12 bye. Fantasy managers will have to play a backup or find a fill-in starter before Allen returns to action against San Francisco on Dec. 1.
Allen completed 22 of 37 passes for 280 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions and added eight carries for 50 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 30-20 win over the Colts on Sunday. Allen helped lead the Bills to 20 first-half points despite having one drive end on downs and a second on an interception, contributing a 13-yard scoring run late in the first half. The multi-threat signal-caller was playing short-handed considering both Amari Cooper and Keon Coleman were sidelined with wrist injuries and Dalton Kincaid exited the game with a knee injury as well. However, Allen still connected with seven different targets on his way to third tally of at least 280 passing yards in the last four contests. Allen did see his four-game streak of multiple touchdown passes snapped, but he'll nevertheless head into a Week 11 home showdown against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs with plenty of momentum.
Allen completed 25 of 39 passes for 235 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Dolphins. He added two rushing attempts for seven yards and threw a two-point conversion. Allen thought he had a 21-yard rushing touchdown in the final minute of the first half, but it was brought back by a holding penalty, and the Bills had to settle for a field goal to take a 10-6 deficit into the locker room. Buffalo's offense came alive in the third quarter, as Allen threw a one-yard touchdown pass to Mack Hollins on fourth down, then added a 63-yard touchdown pass to Ray Davis and two-point conversion to Keon Coleman on the following drive. Allen's hot second half continued with a go-ahead two-yard touchdown pass to Quintin Morris in the fourth quarter, and Buffalo's offense did just enough to get in range for Tyler Bass's game-winning 61-yard field goal in the final seconds. After going seven games without an interception to start the season, Allen has been picked off in back-to-back games, but he still boasts an impressive 17:2 TD:INT through the air heading into a Week 10 trip to Indianapolis.
Allen completed 24 of 34 pass attempts for 283 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while rushing seven times for 25 yards in Sunday's 31-10 win over Seattle. Allen stayed hot with his third two-touchdown performance in as many weeks. The talented quarterback did throw his first interception of the campaign in the win, but fantasy managers can look past that with his success in recent box scores. Allen remains a high-end option in fantasy heading into a Week 9 matchup against the Dolphins next Sunday.
Allen completed 21 of 33 passes for 323 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans. He added three rushes for one additional yard. The addition of Amari Cooper combined with a beat-up Tennessee secondary led to good things for Allen, as he averaged 9.8 yards per attempt. That included six completions of at least 20 yards -- his highest mark of the season -- and a pair of touchdown tosses that came from 12 and four yards away. The only negative from Allen's performance was his work on the ground, as he's now been held below 25 rushing yards in four of seven contests this season. Overall, it was a strong afternoon in a new-look offense, offering some hope we'll see a more prolific passing attack from Buffalo moving forward.
