Draft note

by John Paulsen

Allen was the top quarterback of 2020, but had the second-best per game average behind Patrick Mahomes. It was an improvement from a No. 7 overall finish the year before. Even though he threw an additional 111 passes in 2020, he still maintained a very high rushing floor (421 yards, eight touchdowns). The 37 passing touchdowns didn’t hurt, either. He is fantasy’s No. 2 quarterback in 2021.

Matt Barkley to get 'meaningful snaps' for Buffalo

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.

Fantasy Impact:

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.

BUF QB Josh Allen - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Miami
It was a disappointing Week 1 with Josh Allen being held in check by the Steelers defense. Although he threw the ball 51 times, the passing yardage total was 270 which is 5.3 yards per attempt. The Bills barely tried to run the ball and with the exception of one series, the running game wasn't successful. The most disappointing part of Allen's stats were he only generated one touchdown on the afternoon. He averaged over 2.5 per game last season.

It won't get much easier as Buffalo heads to Miami for a division game on the road. The Dolphins are ranked 11th in aFPA to quarterbacks after one week but have a defense that is considered above average. Last season, Allen threw 7 touchdown passes in the two games vs. Miami and also recorded a 400+ yard passing game.

With a tough matchup on the road, Allen might struggle with some of his stats again. However, he is still a solid QB1 for Week 2 based on what he is capable of and his track record against Miami. Start him in all leagues and formats.
