Fantasy Football Player Notes

Josh Allen finished QB2 in fantasy scoring last season behind only Lamar Jackson. Over the past five years, Jackson has led all QBs in fantasy scoring three times, with two runner-up finishes. His 22.6 fantasy points per game last season represented a five-year low, but that's a mighty high floor. Allen also hit five-year lows in passing yardage (3,731) and TD passes (28), but the lack of a marquee receiver was undoubtedly a factor. No Bills pass catcher had more than 821 receiving yards of five TD catches last year. Pass-catching firepower might still be an issue for Allen in 2025 since the Bills' only noteworthy additions in that department are WRs Josh Palmer and Elijah Moore. But Allen provides consistently excellent rushing numbers. He's averaged 591.7 rushing yards and 9.3 TD runs over his seven-year career, piling up 27 rushing touchdowns over the last two years. Despite his fearless running, Allen has been remarkably injury-resistant, having made 104 consecutive starts. He once again deserves to be one of the first two quarterbacks off the board in fantasy drafts.
