Allen might have been a little erratic for Bills fans, but he had a huge season for his fantasy owners. Allen led all fantasy quarterbacks in scoring, having nearly 40 points more than the second-place finisher. He had a tremendous fantasy season. Allen had 20-plus fantasy points in all but four games, and his season low in fantasy points came in Week 1 (15.4). Allen had 29 passing touchdowns and added 15 rushing touchdowns. The Bills took the reigns off of him running the ball in the second half of the season, and it led to some huge fantasy games. The only knock on Allen last year was some bad throws. Allen had the fourth-worst on-target percentage (72.2 percent). But overall, it was another fantastic season for Allen. Allen has four straight seasons with 4,200-plus passing yards and 40-plus touchdowns. He is one of the best in the game right now and should be for years to come. He plays in a great offense that caters to his talents. Allen has a huge arm, great size, and moves around well for a man of his size. Allen has all the tools needed to be an elite NFL quarterback. His accuracy has improved but isn't that of some of the other top quarterbacks in football. His decision-making continues to get better, but it can be an issue at times. He will force some throws. Allen runs very well, posting big rushing numbers on almost a weekly basis.
FANTASY OUTLOOK: Allen is our top-rated fantasy quarterback. He posts big numbers on a weekly basis and is in the prime of his career. He continues to grow each season and can still reach new heights. Look for Allen to throw for around 4,500 yards with 40 total scores and around 600 rushing yards.
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen has finished as a Top 3 fantasy QB in each of the last four seasons, eclipsing 24 PPG in 2024. However, this offseason brought about some big changes in Buffalo as a handful of veterans were either traded or let go by the front office in an effort to bring in some youth. Allen will be without his top two wideouts in yardage from last year: WR Stefon Diggs and WR Gabe Davis, but the Bills drafted WR Keon Coleman from Florida State with pick No. 33 overall in the 2024 NFL Draft. 2023 first-rounder, TE Dalton Kincaid will look to build on an impressive rookie season while competing for targets with WR Curtis Samuel, WR Khalil Shakir, RB James Cook, and Coleman. Allen has been such a dynamo for scoring fantasy points with his legs (2,049 yards rushing and 28 TDs over the last three years) and offers such rare elite upside among QBs in fantasy. What's even more impressive about Allen is that he's finished as a Top 5 weekly QB in 29 of his last 50 starts dating back to 2021. He remains the QB1 in all formats even though he'll be asked to put the offense even more on his back for 2024.

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen will play about a quarter in the preseason opener Saturday, Aug. 10.
Fantasy Spin: Allen was the QB1 last season.. He's still an elite option in drafts, but his stock could take a hit with the questions around him at receiver.
From TheHuddle
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced that quarterback Josh Allen will start in Saturday's preseason opener against the Chicago Bears, and he will play about a quarter. The 28-year-old could benefit from some preseason action given the turnover to his pass-catching group. With Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis out of town, Allen will need to work quickly to develop chemistry with newcomers Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, among others. Buffalo could get out to a slow start offensively until the new faces get comfortable, but these reps before the regular season could help speed the process along. Once again, Allen is the consensus QB1 in 2024 fantasy football drafts. Even if his passing numbers take a hit, his rushing upside insulates him as an elite fantasy option.

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen has taken on a more vocal role as the leader of the team following the departure of several key veterans this offseason, Bills LT Dion Dawkins told The Herd on Wednesday, July 10. 'Josh is one of those guys that will do what it takes at that moment,' Dawkins said. 'He's definitely a barker when that time comes. I've actually seen the bark a lot more this OTAs where he's been very, very verbal, because our team is different. It's different. We've got some young dudes that, when they come in, they see a little bit of success, and they can change, so Josh is doing exactly what he should.'

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is widely regarded as one of the best players in the NFL, and he is the current face of the Bills organization. Heading into 2024, he'll be counted on more as a leader following the departures of Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, Micah Hyde, Jordan Poyer, and Tre'Davious White, among others. Left tackle Dion Dawkins said he is taking that next step. "Josh is one of those guys that will do what it takes at that moment," Dawkins said. "He's definitely a barker when that time comes. I've actually seen the bark a lot more this OTAs where he's been very, very verbal, because our team is different. It's different. We've got some young dudes that, when they come in, they see a little bit of success, and they can change, so Josh is doing exactly what he should." Allen, who has finished as the overall fantasy QB1 in three of the last four seasons, could struggle early in the season while he builds chemistry with his new supporting cast, but his rushing upside insulates his value as a high-end QB1 again in 2024.

At just 24 years old, Jacksonville Jaguars safety Andre Cisco is an ascending player who could be on the verge of a true breakout in a contract year in 2024. The Jaguars already have big contract extensions for quarterback Trevor Lawrence and linebacker Josh Allen out of the way, so Cisco could be next up. After a tough offseason for the safety market, there is added intrigue with how teams will choose to pay their safeties, which also adds intrigue to Cisco's situation in Jacksonville. The former third-round pick in the 2021 draft out of Syracuse finished his third season in the NFL with 62 tackles (42 solo), half a sack, a career-high four interceptions, five pass breakups and a forced fumble in 15 starts last year. Cisco isn't quite on the fantasy radar yet in IDP leagues, but if he continues ascending, that could change in 2024.

Buffalo Bills WR Khalil Shakir may see increased targets from QB Josh Allen because he is the only receiver on the roster that has caught a pass from Allen in a regular season game, in the opinion of BillsWire's Nick Wojton.
Fantasy Spin: Shakir should be a regular contributor in the passing game for the Bills this season. He can be a late round pick in fantasy leagues but probably will not be a starting option most weeks.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll earned his opportunity with the organization after one year as Alabama's offensive coordinator and four seasons as the Buffalo Bills' offensive coordinator. However, assistant coach Mike Kafka ran the Giants' offense in 2022 and 2023. This offseason, ESPN's Jordan Raanan observed Daboll calling plays, with Kafta serving in a complementary role. If Daboll keeps the play-calling duties into the 2024 regular season, it could provide a boost for New York's attack. However, that is far from a given considering the lack of high-end assets among their 11 starts on offense. Daboll is credited with helping Josh Allen develop into an All-Pro quarterback, but Daniel Jones has proven to be limited through his first five NFL campaigns.

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen said he plans to work out with the wide receivers before training camp begins.
Fantasy Spin: Allen will be working with multiple new receivers this offseason, so any extra time will help with his connection with the pass catchers. Allen is one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL and should be a weekly starting option in all fantasy leagues.

The Buffalo Bills are signing veteran center Will Clapp, according to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. The 2018 seventh-round pick out of LSU began his career with the New Orleans Saints before spending two seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers. He has 65 games of NFL experience (21 starts). The Bills recently released Pro Bowl center Mitch Morse, so Clapp will add depth to the position. Connor McGovern is likely the favorite to start at center in Josh Allen's offense this year, but Clapp could make a push for extra reps during training camp.

Three-time Pro Bowl left tackle Dion Dawkins signed a three-year, $60.5 million contract extension with the Buffalo Bills on Monday, according to sources. The deal makes Dawkins the fourth highest-paid offensive tackle in the NFL. The 29-year-old former second-round pick by Buffalo out of Temple in 2017 has been a rock since landing in the NFL for the organization and has started 106 of his 112 games. He's made the Pro Bowl each of the last three seasons and has been a strong blind-side protector for Pro Bowl quarterback Josh Allen. Dawkins finished with the best pass-block win rate of his career in 2023 at 93.3 percent, and Allen was sacked the fewest times in his career (24) behind an offensive line that saw five starters start every game. Dawkins will continue to anchor on O-line in Buffalo that will look a little different at other positions.

The Buffalo Bills restructured the contract of quarterback Josh Allen on Monday, converting much of his 2024 compensation into a signing bonus to create $16.7 million in 2024 salary cap space. Allen's updated 2024 cap charge is now $30.356 million. The Bills are in a slightly better situation salary cap-wise, although they did lose receiver Gabe Davis in free agency to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday. Salary cap issues for the Bills aside, the 27-year-old Allen dealt with a right-shoulder issue midway through the 2023 season but never missed a game and finished as the most valuable fantasy QB with 4,306 passing yards, 29 touchdowns and 18 interceptions, but what made him elite were his 524 rushing yards and 15 rushing touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. He'll be one of the first signal-callers to be selected in the early rounds of fantasy drafts this fall.

Dynasty | The Bills have signed quarterback Mitch Trubisky. Dynasty Analysis: The Truth Biscuit gets $5.25 million to once again be the backup to Josh Allen. Trubisky had one more chance to prove he was capable of being a high-level starter in the league but he struggled in his short-time with Pittsburgh. He'll be one injury away from relevance again but hardly worth a dynasty roster spot at this point in his career. It turns out Patrick Mahomes was indeed a better draft choice that season.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to place the franchise tag on pass-rusher Josh Allen on Tuesday by the deadline, according to a source. The team has expressed confidence in getting a long-term deal done with Allen by the deadline in mid-July, but if they can't, he'll be on the books for 2024 at $24 million. The 26-year-old has quickly become one of the best pass-rushers in football. Since being selected with the seventh overall pick in 2019 out of Kentucky, he has accumulated 45 sacks, 251 tackles (162 solo), 53 tackles for loss, 103 QB hits, two interceptions, eight passes defensed, nine forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries (one returned for a touchdown) in five seasons. Allen was the No. 5 defensive lineman in IDP fantasy leagues in 2023 with a career-high 17.5 sacks in 17 starts.
From RotoBaller
Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen was sacked only 24 times this past season and was able to scramble on 50 of his drop backs.
