The Buffalo Bills will face the Denver Broncos on Wild Card Weekend. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Josh Allen.
Is Josh Allen Playing vs. the Broncos?
Allen is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bills’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Josh Allen on Wild Card Weekend?
The presumptive MVP set the NFL record for games with multiple passing touchdowns and a rushing score (six), and we could see such a game this week after getting last week off to rest.
For his career, Allen is averaging 27.8 fantasy points per playoff game, clearing 30 points in half of those contests. If you think he plays a friendly style of game during the regular season, just wait until his season is on the line — 56.3 rushing yards per playoff game with multiple passing touchdowns in each of his past four.
Excluding the one-snap effort from Sunday, Allen has been held without multiple passing touchdowns OR a rushing touchdown just once since Week 5 (Week 16 vs. Patriots). There’s no reason to think that the Allen takeover season ends this week, even against a tough defense (Lamar Jackson completed 16 of 19 passes for 280 yards and three scores when the Broncos came to town).
