Fantasy Football Player Notes

Josh Allen had a MVP caliber season and ended up as QB1 overall in fantasy. He finished '20 with 4.5K passing yards, a 69% completion rate, 37 TD, and 10 INT. His rushing attempts year over year stayed flat, but his yardage fell from 510 to 421 yards. That's probably a good thing because it meant he wasn't running with abandon as much. However, he still managed eight rush TDs. Outside of one dreadful game in Week 7 vs. SEA, the O-Line played well, but the run game made the Bills one-dimensional offensively, and Allen to Stefon Diggs was pretty much that dimension. In the playoffs, "reckless" Josh Allen started to creep back in as he tried to do too much under pressure, twisting and turning, trying to make plays instead of eating a sack or throwing a ball away. More balance from the run game in 2021 will help the Bills and Allen thrive this season. However, that's not a given. Six times, Josh Allen scored 30+ fantasy points. A fantasy regular season is usually 13-14 weeks long. He's good for six wins, and that puts you in the playoff hunt.

With Josh Allen running as much as he does (and scoring TD's at the goal line) and Zack Moss on the roster, Devin Singletary is basically a change of pace back, capable of big plays, but unassured of consistent touches. That combination make him difficult to invest in for 2021. As bench depth, he could be used in bye weeks, and you may get lucky. However, he's not a reliable fantasy RB.

Gabriel Davis had a nose for the end zone in his rookie season (7 TDs) and Josh Allen showed confidence in him down the stretch in big spots. It remains a crowded WR situation in BUF with the clear alpha Stefon Diggs. However, Allen sling the rock enough to get others involved and Davis could be a quietly good addition to fantasy rosters. He offers more appeal than many other WR5 in his class.
