Kyle Allen Week 15 Outlook - Bills at Steelers

Kyle Allen (QB - PIT)

After another abysmal performance from Allen, the whispers are getting louder for Will Grier to get a shot under center. While in the fantasy playoffs, the last thing you want to do is start a quarterback who might get benched. Allen has now fumbled 12 times through 11 games and has thrown 12 interceptions over his last seven games. The sky is falling, but can the Seahawks secondary allow him to bounce back? The miniscule 4.34 percent sack-rate surely helps, as Allen has struggled under pressure. Quarterbacks have averaged 38.9 pass attempts per game against them, which ranks as the second-most in the league, and it's allowed 10-of-13 quarterbacks to finish with at least 16.1 fantasy points. The volume has been all quarterbacks have going for them, as the Seahawks have still yet to allow more than two passing touchdowns in a game. Looking at the 17 to 13 TD:INT ratio the Seahawks have allowed weighs heavily when you consider Allen himself has a 9:12 ratio himself over the last seven games. Rushing touchdowns have saved him the last two weeks, but it's not advisable to start someone who may get benched at halftime if he's not playing particularly well.
