2024 Fantasy Outlook
Allen was the top fantasy quarterback last year for the third time in four seasons (he was second in his “off” year) thanks to another campaign of high-volume passing and rushing. He was the only QB ranked top 5 in both pass and rush attempts last season, and no QB has more than Allen’s 173 combined pass/rush TDs the last four years. While he threw a four-year low 29 TD passes, Allen tied Jalen Hurts with 15 rushing scores, an NFL record for quarterbacks. A midseason shoulder injury and a change at offensive coordinator didn’t bother him much, and though he threw a career-high 18 interceptions (2nd), his efficiency dipped only slightly. He dumped it off a bit more than usual, but he still threw deep on 11.4 percent of attempts (9th), as his average target depth and YPA ranked third and 10th, respectively (even if both were three-year lows). Allen didn’t get a lot of help from his receivers, either. Stefon Diggs (eight drops) disappeared and Gabe Davis disappointed. Both are now gone, but it’s uncertain how much the receiving group improved this offseason. Third-year Khalil Shakir has 4.43 speed but seems miscast as the No. 1 WR. The team signed journeyman Curtis Samuel and drafted Keon Coleman, a second-round pick who is 6-3 but had only a 55 percent catch rate last year at FSU. Promising second-year tight end Dalton Kincaid might be the No. 2 target. But even if his passing efficiency dips -- and his rushing TDs are certain to regress -- Allen’s pass/rush volume still makes him a fantasy lock. Read Past Outlooks

Shoulder in better place
Allen clarified during his season-ending press conference this week that his right shoulder got better as the campaign moved along and that at the moment, he's not planning to have any type of surgery, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Said Allen: "It just felt like it kept getting better as the season went on. And especially these last probably four weeks, felt like it didn't bother me at all. So yeah, I don't think there's anything." The team's brass affirmed later in the week that there are no plans for surgery for their star quarterback. This is nice news for anyone holding Allen in a keeper league, as he'll be able to hit the 2024 season healthy after putting up an extremely fantasy-friendly 40-plus touchdowns (passing plus rushing) for an NFL-record fourth straight season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Loses top receiver to Houston
Allen won't have Stefon Diggs as his top wide receiver for the first time since the 2019 season, after the Bills agreed Wednesday to trade Diggs to the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Diggs helped Allen take the next step from promising prospect to perennial MVP candidate, as Allen averaged only 15 passing touchdowns in two seasons without Diggs before bumping that average up to 34.3 in four seasons with Diggs. While Allen is probably too far along at this point to regress to the mediocre passer he was in his first two years, a decline in passing production is likely in the cards in 2024 if Buffalo doesn't add to its depleted wide receiver room beyond the recent signings of depth pieces Curtis Samuel and Mack Hollins. In addition to trading Diggs, the Bills let Gabe Davis walk in free agency.

2018
Allen fell just short last year in his bid to three-peat as the top fantasy QB, finishing second with a remarkably similar season to the one before despite playing through an injury to his throwing elbow. He came within 124 passing yards, one TD pass and one rushing yard of matching his 2021 numbers (and, like in 2021, the Bills lost in the divisional playoffs). Allen attempted 79 fewer passes than he did the previous year, in part because he played 16 games instead of 17, making up for it by increasing his YPA from 6.8 to 7.6 (8th) while his average target depth jumped a full yard to 9.2 (3rd). Allen’s completion rate held steady at 63.3 percent, though it again was far off his impressive 2020 percentage (69.2). That works well enough when a QB gets healthy passing volume, completes passes downfield and adds elite rushing production. The only negative is a receiving corps that looks dicey behind standout WR Stefon Diggs. Gabe Davis disappointed last season, and while the team drafted Dalton Kincaid in the first round to join Dawson Knox, the learning curve for rookie tight ends is usually steep. In the backfield, Buffalo replaced Devin Singletary with Damien Harris, who has 105 fewer career catches and could take more of the goal-line carries. Nevertheless, Allen should again challenge for QB1 in fantasy thanks to his potentially league-leading combination of pass and rush attempts.
