The Buffalo Bills will visit the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. 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 Allen Playing in Week 16?
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 16?
I don’t know how you slow down Josh Allen for 60 minutes.
He has 16 red zone pass attempts over the past two weeks, his highest two-game total this season and fueling two of his four three-TD pass games of the season.
If he’s not throwing passes inside the 20-yard line, he’s running over defenders on his way there (12 TD rushes this season, his third straight season reaching that mark). He’s averaging a career high in terms of yards gained per short pass, and his third-down completion percentage is 14.5 percentage points above where it stood during his MVP 2024 campaign.
Buffalo had the ball for under 13 minutes in the first half on Sunday, and he still ended up accounting for nearly 250 yards of offense and three scores. He’s a one-of-one at the games most important position and he might occupy his own tier when I sit down to hammer out my way-too-early 2026 redraft rankings.
