Allen might have won NFL MVP last season, but he didn't repeat as the No. 1 fantasy quarterback. Not that he fell far -- he was second. With a full season under offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Allen didn't quite get his usual passing volume -- about 100 fewer attempts than the last couple years (14th in the league). That left him with less than 4,000 yards for the first time since 2019, but 28 TD passes (7th) and another heavy dose of his trademark running game (12 TDs, second among QBs to Jalen Hurts' 14) was enough to keep him in the Top 2 of fantasy QBs for a fifth consecutive season. Allen cut his interceptions from a career-high 18 in 2023 to a career-low six in 2024, but his completion percentage declined slightly even though a career-high 23 percent of his attempts came behind the line of scrimmage (5th most). WR Keon Coleman had a decent first year while slot man Khalil Shakir did enough to secure a four-year extension, but TE Dalton Kincaid took a step backward, and offseason signing Joshua Palmer won't help address Buffalo's lack of a true No. 1 receiver. It wouldn't surprise, though, if Allen's pass attempts return to the right side of 500. A third consecutive season of double-digit rushing TDs (which would give him 75 for his career to tie Cam Newton for the all-time QB record) is a lot to ask, but another 100-plus rushing attempts is likely behind a strong offensive line. And that makes him a good bet for another top-two finish, if not the No. 1 spot among QBs.
