Allen finished first in fantasy points among quarterbacks in 2020, 2021 and 2023. He finished second in 2022, behind Patrick Mahomes, but still averaged an impressive 24.3 fantasy points per game. There are reports the Bills could be more run-heavy with Joe Brady as offensive coordinator. They did run more often once Brady took over midseason last year, but Allen still averaged 25.0 points per game over his final seven games after averaging 23.6 points without Brady.
•
Diggs stopped being nearly as big of a factor in the offense once Brady took over. Diggs was WR4 last season beforehand and WR42 after. Buffalo spread the ball around more, with Khalil Shakir, Diggs, Dalton Kincaid, Gabe Davis and James Cook all gaining between 220-370 yards over those seven games. The team added Curtis Samuel, Keon Coleman and Mack Hollins to give them a variety of weapons.
•
Ultimately, we’ve seen Allen in this offense when it deprioritized Diggs and ran the ball more, and that ultimately led to his fantasy value going up. The unit did better in general and he scored more touchdowns. It wasn’t great for the fantasy value of the receivers, but it was great for Allen.
