The Bills have fired OC Ken Dorsey, in the wake of Monday night's loss to the Broncos. Buffalo has proved a bit inconsistent on offense this year but still ranks third in offensive DVOA and third in yards per play. The No. 7 ranking in scoring marks a bit of a drop vs. finishes of second, fifth, and second the past three years. Buffalo now turns to Joe Brady, who has served as QBs coach since last season after a little less than two years as Panthers OC. Brady's Carolina offenses obviously didn't do anything special but were also working with much less at QB and the other skill positions. We'll see about the impact Brady has, but it's tough to either upgrade or downgrade any Bills offensive pieces in fantasy for this move.

Bills QB Josh Allen fell flat in Week 10, completing 15 of 26 passes for 172 yards with 1 TD and 2 INTs vs. the Broncos. He managed to punch in a rushing TD in the contest, though he also fumbled on Monday. It's important to remember this performance followed three straight top-5 fantasy weeks for Allen. He’s still worth starting every week, but it’ll be interesting to see how he responds in Week 11 vs. the Jets. Last Allen played the Jets in Week 1, the New York defense picked him off thrice. The Jets rank as the second-toughest QB matchup per our adjusted fantasy points allowed.

Bills QB Josh Allen completed 26 of 38 passes for 258 yards with 1 TD and INT apiece in Week 9 vs. the Bengals. The veteran also added 44 yards and a rushing TD in the contest. Allen has now thrown an INT in five straight games. Still, his strong running floor and high volume passing make his 23.4 points per game the highest among QBs in 2023. Allen is a reliable fantasy starter regardless of matchup. Next week, he’ll face the Broncos.

Bills QB Josh Allen (shoulder) is not listed on the final Week 9 injury report. He put in full practices on Thursday and Friday after sitting out on Wednesday. There’s nothing to suggest that the shoulder will be a factor in Sunday night’s showdown vs. the Bengals.

Bills QB Josh Allen (shoulder) returned to a full practice on Thursday. It's confirmation that he'll be good to go for Sunday night's showdown with the Bengals.

Bills QB Josh Allen (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. It was initially reported that he'd be limited. Allen spoke to the media afterward and said he wants to "stay ahead" on the shoulder injury and make sure it doesn't become a long-term problem. "Every day it gets so much better," Allen added. "If I had to practice today, absolutely would have. If the game was today, I'm playing in the game." Allen can stay penciled into Week 9 fantasy lineups for now. We'll see if he practices on Thursday.

Bills QB Josh Allen will be limited in Wednesday's practice, HC Sean McDermott said. Allen is "working through" a shoulder injury he suffered in last Thursday night's game vs. the Bucs, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Allen will surely play vs. the Bengals on Sunday night, but this shoulder issue is worth keeping a close eye on.

Bills QB Josh Allen completed 27 of 41 attempts for 265 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT in Sunday’s loss vs. the Patriots. He also added 17 rushing yards and a TD on the ground in the contest. From an objective standpoint, Week 7 was a better showing from the Bills offense than their dysfunctional efforts against the Giants last week. Still, their fourth quarter efforts to battle back weren’t enough to secure the victory. At least Allen’s 24.3 fantasy points were useful for managers. The Bills will play next on Thursday night vs. the Buccaneers.

Bills QB Josh Allen (shoulder) is not listed on the final Week 7 injury report. He put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. It doesn’t look like that shoulder will be a problem vs. the Patriots on Sunday.

Bills QB Josh Allen (shoulder) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. It's confirmation that he'll be out there for this weekend's game vs. the Patriots. And it doesn't look like the shoulder will be an issue.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says Bills QB Josh Allen (shoulder) "should be fine" for Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. That's been the general sentiment over the past couple of days. Allen was officially limited in practice on Wednesday. We'll see what he does on Thursday and Friday, but he can stay penciled into Week 7 fantasy lineups for now.

Bills QB Josh Allen said Wednesday that he has "no concern" about the shoulder injury he suffered in Sunday night's win over the Giants. "We’ll be ready to go," Allen added. "It’s feeling pretty good.” We'll keep an eye on Allen leading up to this weekend's game vs. the Patriots, but he can stay penciled into fantasy lineups.

Bills HC Sean McDermott labeled QB Josh Allen "day-to-day" with his shoulder injury. "He's sore. He's going to be all right," McDermott added. The coach didn't guarantee that Allen will be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Patriots, but it sounds like he's a good bet to play. We'll track his status throughout the week.

Bills QB Josh Allen injured his right shoulder in the second quarter of Sunday night's win over the Giants. He wound up missing just one play. Allen said afterward that the shoulder issue didn't impact his throwing and that scans came back "normal." He's scheduled for additional testing on Monday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We'll keep a close eye on this one, but it seems like Allen will be available for this weekend's game vs. the Patriots.

Bills QB Josh Allen completed 19 of 30 attempts for 169 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT in Sunday night’s narrow victory vs. the Giants. Week 6 was not the strongest showing from the Bills offense as a whole, and the team struggled throughout the contest. It wasn’t until the third quarter that Allen and company successfully executed a score or gained more than 40 yards on a single drive. Week 7 presents a solid opportunity for Allen to get back to his dominant ways against a struggling Patriots defense.

Bills QB Josh Allen completed 27 of 40 attempts for 359 passing yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT in Week 5’s loss vs. the Jaguars. He also added 14 yards and a TD as a rusher in the contest. Allen helped to orchestrate a comeback late in the game with back-to-back 75-yard scoring drives, though the Bills came up just shy of the victory in London. Still, fantasy managers are happy with the production Allen provided. He’ll be a high-end QB1 again next week against the Giants in Week 6.

Bills QB Josh Allen went off on the Dolphins, tallying 320 yards and 4 TDs. He added 17 yards and a score on the ground. Allen leaned on Stefon Diggs, who exploded for 6-120-3 against a Fins defense that supplied little resistance. Allen’s now hit 25+ fantasy points in three straight. He’ll remain an elite option Sunday vs. Jacksonville.

Bills QB Josh Allen completed 31 of 37 passes for 274 yards and 3 TDs in a win over Las Vegas. Call it a predictable bounce back in a favorable matchup. The Raiders’ pass rush struggled to get home, and Allen made them pay both inside the pocket and out. His scores went to Dawson Knox, Khalil Shakir, and Gabe Davis. Allen remains a locked-in top-3 fantasy QB.

Bills QB Josh Allen completed 29 passes on 41 attempts for 236 passing yards with 1 TD and 3 INTs in Monday’s OT loss vs. the Jets. He also ran for 36 yards and lost a fumble at a crucial stage of the fourth quarter, a play that aided in swinging the momentum toward New York. Allen had a generally solid game, but a trio of INTs into the hands of Jets S Jordan Whitehead sunk his fantasy prospects. The All-Pro signal-caller can add his name to the list of big-name players who had a disappointing opening game. Allen will have a chance at redemption in Week 2 vs. the Raiders.

Bills RB coach Kelly Skipper gave his assessment of 2nd-year RB James Cook. “Big jump (from first to second year),” Skipper said. “I see it in the classroom. You can see he’s taking control of the playbook. If I ask a question, he’s the first one to answer, where before, he was just really learning. He got that experience, and you saw how much better he got toward the end of the year.” We’ll see how Buffalo breaks down first-team reps at training camp between Cook and Damien Harris. Overall, look for this backfield to see a small uptick in volume. Per beat writer Ryan O’Halloran, the expectation is that the Bills will reduce Josh Allen’s rushing load. (Allen handled nearly 30% of Buffalo’s carries in 2022.) Visit our fantasy football RB rankings to see backfield expectations.
