Josh Allen Fantasy Projection
Josh Allen has been the most consistently elite quarterback in fantasy football over the past five seasons. The Buffalo Bills star has finished inside the top two at the position in five straight years, leading all quarterbacks in three of those five.
Having moved on from alpha receiver Stefon Diggs last season, the Bills’ passing attack was far less streamlined. Diggs was targeted 160 times in his final year in Buffalo, while Khalil Shakir led the team with just 100 targets in 2024.

The new approach coincided with Allen’s fewest pass attempts since 2019, while his rushing touchdowns hit double figures for the second-straight year. That facet of his game is unlikely to slow down, as his superhero approach to quarterbacking won him the MVP award last season.
The Bills appear set to run it back this season, with little disruption to Allen’s supporting cast. A top-two finish should be expected once again in 2025, making him a prized asset in both single-quarterback and Superflex formats.
Bijan Robinson Fantasy Outlook
Robinson appears to be the favorite to be crowned RB1 in 2025, despite ranking third at the position in fantasy points per game last season. The Falcons running back makes the step up from RB2 in ADP, replacing Christian McCaffrey after the 49ers star’s injury troubles last season.
A lack of explosive plays held Robinson back in 2024, and there is room for concern heading into his third year in the league. The Falcons star averaged 4.8 yards per carry last season, a full yard per attempt behind Saquon Barkley, 1.1 yards per attempt behind Derrick Henry, and 0.8 yards per attempt behind Jahmyr Gibbs.
I think Bijan Robinson MIGHT have the sickest highlight clips in the NFL.

Robinson’s lack of explosiveness last year, compared to his elite rivals, is perhaps better highlighted by the fact that his longest run of the season was 37 yards. Barkley, Gibbs, and Henry produced runs of 72, 70, and 87 yards, respectively, leaving Robinson way behind.
It was the same story in the passing game, too. Robinson tallied more targets (72) than his rivals, but his average yards per reception fell short of all three players again. Barkley, Gibbs, and Henry averaged 8.4, 9.9, and 10.2 yards per reception last season, while Robinson averaged just 7.1. He remains in the mix for RB1 this season, but he needs to produce more explosive plays if he is to take a leap in Year 3.
