Josh Allen Week 6 Outlook - Chiefs at Bills

While watching Allen on Tuesday night (that's weird to type), he didn't look like the same quarterback we watched for the first four weeks of the season. He was throwing into double- and sometimes triple-coverage rather than taking off and running with the ball, and he lacked the confidence we saw in those first four games. It's just one bad game, they happen. The Chiefs haven't been kind to quarterbacks this year, allowing the eighth-fewest fantasy points to them. They've allowed just a 61.5 percent completion-rate, which is well below average, and have allowed just a 4.35 percent touchdown-rate while dealing with cornerback injuries and suspensions. The great news is that they've allowed the seventh-most fantasy points on the ground to quarterbacks, which is very similar to when they allowed the eighth-most. Both Deshaun Watson and Justin Herbert rushed for touchdowns, while Lamar Jackson rushed for 83 yards against them, so Allen needs to get back to utilizing one of his best weapons. It bodes well for him knowing that his team-implied total is 27.0 points, as his running backs rarely find their way into the end zone. This hasn't been a smash spot for quarterbacks, despite what some believe, but Allen can still have a top-five game if he uses his legs against this scheme.
