Josh Allen, Dawson Knox Cleared For Week 18
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (ankle, elbow) and tight end Dawson Knox (hip) practiced in full on Friday and have been cleared to play in Week 18 against the New England Patriots on Sunday. They were removed from the final injury report. After not finishing Monday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Bills will need a win and a Kansas City Chiefs loss to snag the AFC's No. 1 seed. Even if KC wins on Saturday, Buffalo will be playing for seeding on Sunday, so they should be playing their starters despite an emotional week. Although there's always the chance that Buffalo could pull their starters later in the game depending on the score, Allen will remain a must-start, high-end QB1 for fantasy managers this weekend. Knox hasn't been as reliable for fantasy managers this year, but he'll carry TE1 upside in the regular season finale.
Jan 6, 2023 • 8:17 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Limited During Thursday's Practice
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (ankle, elbow) was limited during Thursday's practice. The 26-year-old looked fine during last Monday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals that was eventually suspended. Allen is dealing with a lot right now, but he should be healthy enough to play against the New England Patriots in Week 18. He'll be a QB1 as usual, assuming he's fine for Sunday's game. Fantasy managers should check back on Friday for another update on his status.
Jan 6, 2023 • 12:01 AM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Returns To Full Practice
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. He said being limited on Tuesday was more about limiting his throws and to be smart with it in a walkthrough. Allen said he felt "really good" on Wednesday and that he's glad the training staff limited him on Tuesday, because he hasn't felt this good in a long time. The 26-year-old has been managing a right elbow injury Week 9, but he hasn't missed any games and continues to be a must-start, high-end QB1 for fantasy managers. You can now rest assured that Allen is heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Chicago Bears at close to full health. He has thrown for 3,462 yards and 22 touchdowns and has also run for 705 yards and six scores in 14 games in 2022, making him the overall QB2 in fantasy behind only MVP candidate Jalen Hurts.
Dec 22, 2022 • 1:27 AM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Limited With Elbow Injury
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) is on the initial Week 16 injury report and was listed as a limited participant in practice on Tuesday with a right-elbow injury. Allen has been dealing with an elbow injury since after the Week 9 game, but he hasn't missed any games. The injury is worth watching heading into Saturday's contest versus the Chicago Bears on the road, but it's highly unlikely that he won't be able to suit up. The 26-year-old had another vintage performance in the Week 15 win over the Miami Dolphins, throwing for 304 yards and four touchdowns while also rushing for 77 yards on the ground. The QB2 in overall fantasy points, Allen should be in all starting fantasy lineups this weekend when he faces the Bears.
Dec 20, 2022 • 9:52 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Practices In Full Monday
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) was a full participant in Monday's practice despite his right elbow injury. It was Allen's first full practice since he suffered a right elbow injury in Week 9, so he's getting back to 100 percent health. The 26-year-old hasn't missed any time and has completed 63.4 percent of his passes for 780 yards, four touchdowns and three interceptions in the last three games while managing his elbow injury. Allen will be active for the Thursday night divisional clash against the New England Patriots and will remain a must-start, high-end QB1 for fantasy managers. This will be his first meeting against the Patriots in 2022. He went 24-for-42 for 253 yards, two touchdowns and an interception while adding a touchdown on the ground in the Thanksgiving win over the Detroit Lions last Thursday.
Nov 28, 2022 • 11:51 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Limited Again
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) was limited once again during Tuesday's practice. The Bills have a quick turnaround with a matchup against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Allen was able to practice without wearing a sleeve on his right elbow. It sounds like the Bills are going to continue playing it safe with Allen. He should be fine heading into this contest. Fantasy managers should consider him a strong QB1 for this upcoming contest.
Nov 22, 2022 • 11:16 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Limited In Practice On Monday
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (right elbow) was listed as a limited participant during Friday's practice estimation. This is hardly a surprise considering the elbow injury has impacted Allen's practice availability for the last two weeks. The fact that he was even able to practice in any capacity on Monday is a good sign. At this rate, he should have no trouble suiting up on Thursday against the Detroit Lions.
Nov 21, 2022 • 11:40 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Is Off Bills' Injury Report
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is not on the final injury report for the matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Detroit. His elbow injury didn't seem to affect him against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10, and since he carries no injury designation into Week 11, there's no concern about starting him in fantasy football. Cleveland is just a middle-of-the-pack matchup for quarterbacks, but as always, Allen has the overall QB1 ceiling.
Nov 18, 2022 • 7:19 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Limited Again Thursday
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day on Thursday. Allen suffered a UCL injury in Week 9 but managed to play through it without any limitations in the Week 10 overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Barring a setback on Friday, the 26-year-old will start and be a must-start, high-end QB1 for fantasy managers in Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns, a game that will now be played in a dome in Detroit to avoid a major snowstorm in Buffalo this weekend. The move from a snowstorm to a dome on Sunday will be an upgrade for Allen and the rest of the Bills' offensive weapons.
Nov 17, 2022 • 9:11 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen To Be Limited Wednesday
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) will be limited in practice on Wednesday. Allen was questionable to play in Week 10 after he injured his elbow in Week 9, but he ended up suiting up in the overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings and wasn't limited at all physically. The 26-year-old threw for 330 yards and a touchdown on 43 passing attempts, but he also had two costly interceptions and lost a crucial fumble near the end of regulation. Buffalo will likely take it easy on him in practice this week, but barring a setback, Allen should be good to go for a Week 11 meeting with the Cleveland Browns. Allen remains a must-start, elite QB1 for fantasy purposes.
Nov 16, 2022 • 5:37 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Wasn't Physically Limited In Week 10
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott and offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey both said that quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) didn't have any throws that he was incapable of making in the Week 10 overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings due to his right elbow sprain. Allen actually had his highest completion percentage (67.4 percent) in a game since Week 6 and his most passing yards (330) since Week 5. The fifth-year QB did have two costly interceptions, but it sounds like he'll be fine physically heading into Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns. The Bills decided not to call any designed runs for Allen in order to further protect him, but he still racked up 84 yards on the ground on scrambles. Allen will remain a must-start, high-end QB1 in fantasy this week.
Nov 15, 2022 • 5:23 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Will Start Against Vikings
Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) is starting under center in Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, according to a source. Allen injured the ulnar collateral ligament in his right elbow in the Week 9 loss to the New York Jets, but he won't miss a start despite being questionable to play on Sunday. We will never recommend outright benching Allen in fantasy lineups, but fantasy managers may want to temper expectations for Allen a bit as a high-end QB1. If the Bills can get away with it, they'll likely try to lean more on their ground game with running back Devin Singletary and rookie James Cook.
Nov 13, 2022 • 5:45 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Officially Active On Sunday
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) is officially active for the Week 10 contest against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Allen suffered a UCL injury to his right elbow in the Week 9 loss to the New York Jets and didn't practice until Friday, but he's been given the green light to play this weekend. Multiple doctors told the team that the 26-year-old signal-caller can't do any more damage to his elbow by playing. When active, Allen is a must-start QB1 in fantasy, but playing at less than 100 percent knocks down his ceiling and floor a bit. With Allen hurting, there's a chance the Bills coaching staff leans more on the run against Minnesota, depending on game script.
Nov 13, 2022 • 4:34 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Likely To Be Active For Week 10
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) is expected to be active for Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. ESPN's Adam Schefter noted that Allen plans to be active, but might still be the backup to Case Keenum. This is basically a strategic move, so the Vikings don't see if Allen is going to play until closer to game time. The Bills medical staff said Allen's injury can't get worse by playing. The assumption is that Allen is going to start unless he suffers a setback pregame. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update before kickoff.
Nov 13, 2022 • 2:27 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen In Line To Play Against Vikings
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) is expected to make the start against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10. The superstar signal-caller has been dealing with an elbow sprain, which has put his status in question for Sunday's game. However, the organization decided not to elevate Matt Barkley to the active roster. That means, Allen is likely to suit up for this upcoming contest with Case Keenum resuming his role as the primary backup. The Bills are likely going to wait until after warmups to make a final announcement. However, fantasy managers should expect Allen out there unless he suffers a setback during pre-game workouts.
Nov 12, 2022 • 11:34 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Officially Questionable For Week 10
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) is listed as questionable for the Week 10 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Allen got in a limited practice Friday after missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, but it appears he's in real danger of being inactive on Sunday. If he does play, the team decided he's healthy enough to go, so he's a must-start. If not, Case Keenum becomes an interesting option in two-QB and superflex leagues. Stefon Diggs would likely still produce high-end numbers with Keenum, but Gabe Davis and Dawson Knox would be very risky starts against a decent Vikings' defense.
Nov 11, 2022 • 8:00 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Hasn't Been Ruled Out
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) is being considered "hour-by-hour" by head coach Sean McDermott, and he hasn't been ruled out for Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings. However, Allen wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Friday, meaning he hasn't practiced all week. It's unclear if the Bills would feel comfortable starting Allen without practicing all week, and the bottom line is that fantasy managers need to be ready for the reality that Allen may not be able to go. If that's the case, veteran Case Keenum would get the start and be a viable QB2 streamer in two-QB leagues against his former team. Stay tuned for Allen's official status for Week 10.
Nov 11, 2022 • 5:00 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Not Practicing Again Thursday
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday in the portion open to the media. It will be Allen's second straight missed practice after he suffered a UCL injury in the Week 9 loss to the New York Jets, putting his status firmly in doubt for this Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Buffalo considers Allen day-to-day, but if he doesn't return to practice on Friday, he'll almost certainly give way to veteran backup Case Keenum in Week 10. Fantasy managers that have been riding the 26-year-old Allen as a must-start QB1 should already be scrambling for a potential replacement if you don't already have one on roster. All of Buffalo's offensive skill players would need to be downgraded in fantasy if Allen is unable to play.
Nov 10, 2022 • 7:07 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Won't Practice Wednesday
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) will not practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Allen suffered a sprained UCL in his right elbow in the Week 9 loss to the New York Jets, and his availability for Week 10 against the Minnesota Vikings is now in question. The Bills remain hopeful that he'll be able to play on Sunday, but starting off the week with a DNP isn't a great sign. Allen still has two days to get some practice work in, at which point we'll have a much better idea if he will play. The 26-year-old dual-threat QB is a must-start in fantasy every time he's on the field, but fantasy managers must have a backup plan in place this weekend in case Buffalo plays it safe and holds him out. If Allen does not play, veteran backup Case Keenum would get the start under center against his former team.
Nov 9, 2022 • 5:12 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Hopeful To Play On Sunday
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) suffered a sprain to his right elbow in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Jets. The initial prognosis was that it would limit him at practice, but he could still play, which remains the case as of Wednesday. Head coach Sean McDermott said they're taking it one day at a time, with no official designation on his status for this week's game against the Vikings. It is an injury that the 26-year-old dealt with previously, however that does not guarantee the recovery process will be the same. As one of the top MVP candidates, amid a fantastic season, his absence would have a massive impact on the offense and all the fantasy-relevant players in it. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the day-by-day reports but should have an alternative option ready at the quarterback position.
Nov 9, 2022 • 1:07 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Likely To Be Limited This Week
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) is expected to be limited this week in practice, but there's not much concern about his Week 10 availability against the Minnesota Vikings. It'll be worth seeing if the injury affects his play and fantasy football status, but for now, he obviously remains a must-start. This Vikings-Bills game could become a shootout, so his ceiling remains high until further notice.
Nov 7, 2022 • 7:45 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Experiencing "Slight Pain" In Right Elbow
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) struggled in Sunday's loss to the Jets, finishing with only 205 yards. Fortunately, the signal-caller produced 86 yards and two touchdowns off nine touches, so he at least got something going. The Jets defense allowed the 26-year-old to complete just 52% of his throws on the afternoon while getting through a Bills offensive line that gave up a season-high five sacks. Although the loss was disappointing for Buffalo, the biggest takeaway was a right elbow injury Allen suffered late in the contest. He reported experiencing "slight pain" when speaking postgame, so fantasy managers will need to monitor things leading up to the Week 10 matchup against the Vikings. With that said, it's possible he misses practice time and even carries a questionable designation for that one.
Nov 7, 2022 • 1:59 AM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Remains A Strong QB1 For Week 4
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (hand) did undergo X-rays following last week's loss to the Miami Dolphins. The organization believes Allen is fine, so fantasy managers shouldn't be worried going forward. The 26-year-old has already thrown for over 1,000 passing yards with nine touchdowns through three games this season. He'll get a Baltimore Ravens defense in Week 4 that has allowed the eighth most points per game this season. That being said, fantasy managers should continue believing in Allen. He should remain one of the best options at quarterback gong forward.
Oct 1, 2022 • 12:53 AM | RotoBallerJosh Allen Gets X-Rays Following Loss
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (hand) was observed leaving the X-ray room following Sunday's divisional loss to the Miami Dolphins. The signal-caller was hit in the hand late in the game. Although there hasn't been an official word on the severity of Allen's injury, he helped ease some concerns by saying "he's fine." The 26-year-old had a a solid showing despite the Bills entering the loss column for the first time this season, finishing with 400 yards and two touchdowns off 42-for-63 passing while running for 47 yards off eight carries. Hopefully, there will be an encouraging update soon. However, until then, there will be some worried fantasy managers.
Sep 25, 2022 • 9:27 PM | RotoBallerJosh Allen To Be Rested In Preseason Finale
The Buffalo Bills have decided to rest quarterback Josh Allen for their final preseason game on Friday against the Carolina Panthers. Allen got some time with the rest of the starters in the team's blowout win over the Denver Broncos last Saturday and looked to be in midseason form, so there's no reason for the Bills to risk him to injury in the preseason finale. Case Keenum and Matt Barkley will split playing time on Friday against Carolina. Allen finished as the QB1 in fantasy last year while throwing for 4,407 yards, 36 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in 17 regular season games, and he also added 763 rushing yards and six more TDs. The 26-year-old should be the first signal-caller off the board in the early rounds of fantasy drafts.
