The Buffalo Bills will visit the New England Patriots in Week 15. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Josh Allen.
Is Josh Allen Playing in Week 15?
Allen is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bills’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Allen in Week 15?
I don’t know what to say anymore about Allen.
The Bengals bottled him up in the first half on Sunday (96 pass yards and -1 rushing yard, one total touchdown), but what’s understood doesn’t have to be explained … he finishes with 251 passing yards, 78 on the ground, and four scores.
He’s a bull in a china shop running the ball (rush TD in consecutive games and nine over his past seven) while also a surgeon in the pocket (career pace in both CMP% and YPA).
I don’t know what would happen if this team found a WR1 for him to feature. As it is, he had seven teammates with multiple targets over the weekend and saw a pair of tight ends account for the majority of his passing yards.
The Pats kept Allen in check in Week 16 last season (5.3 yards per pass with “only” 30 rushing yards on six attempts), and maybe they are more equipped to do so by way of familiarity, but there isn’t a QB I’d rather go into battle with this week.
For those keeping track, yes, my top two quarterbacks for this week are playing each other.
