Josh Allen Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Bills QB Josh Allen posted a career-high 55.3 fantasy points in Sunday’s loss to the Rams. Allen accounted for six total TDs (three passing, three rushing).

Bills QB Josh Allen had the highlight of the game throwing a pass to Amari Cooper who lateraled it back to Allen for the TD. He got the very rare double TD with a pass and receiving TD (but no catch). Allen ended completing 13-of-17 for 148 yards and two TDs. He also ran for an additional TD.

Bills QB Josh Allen competed 24-of-34 passes for 286 yards and two TDs. He also threw an interception in the game. With RB James Cook dominating on the ground, Allen did his damage in the passing game, only rushing for 25 yards in the contest.

WR Amari Cooper was traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Buffalo Bills. The Browns received third- and seventh-round picks while giving up Cooper and a sixth rounder. Cooper, the top WR for the Browns, will slot in as the Bills' No. 1 WR once he settles into the offense.

Bills WR Khalil Shakir (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. He still has a few days to get ready for Monday night's game vs. the Jets, but consider him no better than 50/50 for that one. QB Josh Allen missed Shakir last week, completing just nine of 30 passes in the loss to the Texans. We'll see if Shakir gets back on the field tomorrow.

Bills QB Josh Allen completed just nine of 30 passes for 131 yards and one TD in the Week 5 loss to the Texans. The majority of that production came on a 49-yard score to WR Keon Coleman. Otherwise, Allen mustered just 82 scoreless passing yards. The nine completions were his fewest in a full game since his 2018 rookie campaign. It was just his fifth career game with fewer than 140 passing yards. Allen at least added 54 rushing yards on four carries. He went for a concussion check after his head slammed against the turf in the fourth quarter, but Allen was evidently cleared and did not miss an offensive snap.

Bills QB Josh Allen completed 16 of 29 passes for 180 yards. He also ran five times for 21 yards. The Ravens defense blitzed Allen often and got pressure on him throughout the game.

Bills QB Josh Allen has been cleared to play in Thursday night's game vs. the Dolphins, HC Sean McDermott said. Allen injured his left hand in the Week 1 win over the Cardinals but was able to play through it. He was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Unless we hear otherwise, there's no reason to expect this to be an issue in Week 2 or beyond. Allen opened his season with a four-TD outing and leads all QBs in Week 1 fantasy points (with the Monday nighter still to go).

Bills QB Josh Allen looked in mid-season form in a Week 1 win over Arizona. Spreading the ball around to nine different pass catchers, Allen completed 18 of 23 passes for 232 yards. He added 2 TDs -- plus 2 more on the ground. We’ll just have to keep an eye on Allen’s health; he was spotted with his left wrist tapped following the game, according to multiple beat writers.

According to multiple reports, the Bills are sending WR Stefon Diggs to the Texans. Buffalo is also sending a 2024 sixth-round pick and 2025 fifth-rounder to Houston, while getting back only a second-round pick in 2025. Diggs' production fell off late last season after the Bills switched offensive coordinators. Now 30 and in a new offense, Diggs will have to show he's not in decline. He'll add the challenge of splitting targets with Houston's emergent young wideouts. Nico Collins (seventh) and Tank Dell (12th) both ranked among the top 12 WRs in PPR points per game last season, with rookie QB C.J. Stroud. The Diggs addition obviously lowers the target-share ceiling for all three wideouts. We'll also have to see exactly how Houston plans to deploy them. Diggs spent 35.7% of his pass snaps in the slot last year; 34.2% the year before. He topped 30% in that category for three of his four Buffalo seasons, surpassed only by his 2016 sophomore season (62.9%). Collins spent 20.1% of his time in the slot last year; Dell 28.7%. We'd bet on all three moving around the formation some. But Diggs could wind up primarily replacing Robert Woods (55.5% slot) and Noah Brown (39.3%). The trio gives Stroud one of the league's best WR groups and boosts his fantasy upside. The QB already sat sixth at the position in Underdog Fantasy ADP, though. That adds risk to Stroud as a draft target and gives him little room to move up. QB Josh Allen, meanwhile, has lost his top two wideouts (Gabe Davis the other) while adding only WR Curtis Samuel this offseason. The dearth of remaining talent adds risk to his fantasy outlook, though you shouldn't expect the high-level rusher to move significantly down our rankings. As for other affected players: Diggs' departure leaves target share available for TE Dalton Kincaid and Khalil Shakir. His arrival in Houston makes life tougher for TE Dalton Schultz. He already sat just 13th among TEs in best ball ADP, though, and will likely fall further following this trade. Be sure to check our rankings for your format to see all the effects of this high-impact deal.

The Steelers-Bills game originally scheduled for 1 pm ET on Sunday has been moved to 4:30 pm ET on Monday. Buffalo is expecting heavy snow and wind gusts up to 60 mph on Sunday. The forecast for Monday calls for light snow, sustained winds around 15 mph, and gusts up to 30 mph. That's still tough weather for the passing and kicking games -- but significantly better than it would have been on Sunday. We're adjusting our projections for this game.
