Bills HC Sean McDermott told reporters Friday that the Bills' medical team is comfortable with Josh Allen playing Sunday. McDermott believes Allen will be able to conduct the offense as usual.

This is all good news to read, but we won't know if Allen has any limitations until he takes the field Sunday.

Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) was limited Wednesday, and WR Emmanuel Sanders (knee) did not practice ahead of Week 15's game against the Carolina Panthers. The Bills conducted a walk-through practice Wednesday.

Allen not having a DNP for a walk-through is pretty important. Sanders' role with the Bills have changed drastically and a missed game would hurt his standing in the receiving pecking order.

Sean McDermott says that Josh Allen has a foot sprain and is day-to-day.

Getzenberg went on to tweet that Allen has a "chance" to play in Week 15, which doesn't necessarily sound all that positive but the team is going to see how he progresses this week. Trubisky would start if Allen can't go. McDermott said the team will err on the side of caution with Allen, and with all their players. It's also worth noting McDermott didn't say yes or no in terms of the injury being turf toe. The team is calling it a foot sprain.

Josh Allen was seen in a walking boot and is dealing with a mild case of turf toe.

Allen finished the game and didn't consider going out, according to Rapoport. Allen ran for over 100 yards so all that is a good sign Allen will be able to play through this. He'll likely be limited in practice and maybe the injury cuts down his rushing totals, but for fantasy owners, it at least looks like he's going to take the field in Week 15 against the Panthers. The Bills are fighting for a playoff spot.

Josh Allen wore a walking boot on his left foot after Sunday’s overtime loss to the Buccaneers. He downplayed the injury but did acknowledge he will undergo further medical testing Monday.

Allen admitted he was sore. He did not miss any plays after injuring his foot on a 23-yard run in the fourth quarter. He landed awkwardly on a tackle from behind by linebacker Devin White, with Allen’s leg folding underneath him. This is definitely worth watching as the week goes on. It seems like a good sign Allen isn't concerned but as we learned from the past, players aren't always a good judge of their injuries.

My understanding is Matt Barkley will get “meaningful snaps” per source. Starter Josh Allen is just 40 yards away from breaking the team’s single season passing record. Bills also following similar formula to last year’s week 17, when they rested key starters.

This does not bode well for Josh Allen's fantasy value this week as he'll most likely get pulled after breaking the team's single-season passing record. With just 40 yards to go, Allen is not a starter for seasonal or DFS in Week 17.

In Buffalo, Sean McDermott is holding his cards close to the vest. Speaking to reporters on Tuesday afternoon, McDermott indicated he knows what he’s going to do for Sunday’s game against the Dolphins [as far as resting starters]. But he’s not saying.

“I’m going to keep that plan internal because I think that’s what’s best for us,” McDermott said, via Chris Brown of the Bills’ official website.

The Chiefs clinched the top seed and will rest some starters while the Steelers announced Ben Roethlisberger won't play in Week 17. The Bills are currently the AFC’s No. 2 seed, though they could fall to No. 3 if the Steelers beat the Browns and Buffalo loses to Miami.

The Bills designated receiver John Brown to return from injured reserve Tuesday, according to the NFL’s transactions report.

Bills coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Brown was ready to return to practice this week. The move opens a 21-day window for the team to activate Brown back to the active roster, the story said. Davis has filled in nicely with Brown out, but adding Brown for games down the stretch should give a little boost to Allen's fantasy value.

In a game where the Bills struggled to move the ball through the air, rookie Gabriel Davis was one of the lone bright spots. His highlight-reel 44-yard reception showed that he can make difficult catches in contested situations and can be a dependable, field-stretching target for Josh Allen.

With Brown now on the IR, Davis has a chance to step up. The story also went on to say the Bills could save over $8 million by releasing Brown (who turns 31 in April) in the offseason, one that’s expected to be cap-strapped. The only reason they would do that is if they knew they had a solid X-receiver player to replace Brown, which is where Davis comes into play.
