2023 Fantasy Outlook
Kyle Allen joins the Bills as Josh Allen's (no relation) backup. The five-year veteran has started 19 games as a pro and his career totals include 26 touchdowns, 4,734 passing yards and a quarterback rating of 82.2. The newcomer started two games for the Texans last year but was rather unspectacular in a pair of losses. At this stage, the 27-year-old is the clear favorite for the second-string signal-caller assignment in Buffalo, but as such will only have fantasy value if Josh Allen misses any time.

Bad development for positioning
The Bills signed veteran quarterback Mitch Trubisky to a two-year deal on Wednesday, presumably to serve as Josh Allen's top backup.
ANALYSIS
Kyle Allen played the backup role for Josh Allen in 2023, but with the latter mostly healthy that yielded only spot mop-up duties, as the former never even attempted a pass. Kyle Allen likely won't be doing that for the Bills in 2024 following the Trubisky signing, as Trubisky comes with a better resume and has a first-round label from 2017. Plus, Trubisky is better suited to serve as at least a partial replica of Josh Allen, as both have strong arms, can be tough to tackle and have running ability. There may no longer be room for Kyle Allen on the roster.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
2019
Allen's a journeyman quarterback that had mild success in a 13-game run with Carolina in 2019 but has played sparingly since. An ankle injury cut short his 2020 season, and he was a third-stringer for the Commanders in 2021. On board with the Texans for 2022, Allen enters training camp as the backup to Davis Mills, although Houston has two other quarterbacks on the roster. Jeff Driskel returns from last year, and the team signed Kevin Logan after the Titans let him go following the draft. Mills is far from established, which suggests an opportunity for Allen, but the team's plan is to give Mills every chance to succeed. If Mills fails to cement the top QB job or gets injured, Allen is next in line.
