Allen completed a total of just 12 passes after throwing 19 pass attempts for 210 yards with both a TD and an INT. He rushed for game-high 121 yards, a mark that he’s only topped one other time over his career, while adding another TD on the ground. His 30.5 PPR points in Week 5 was good enough for his fourth QB1 finish in five weeks.

Bills QB Josh Allen came off outscoring the rest of the position by 10 fantasy points in Week 2 to endure his worst outing so far this season Sunday against the Chargers. Allen went just 16 of 26 passing (61.5%) for 204 yards in the win. He took 4 sacks, doubling his season total, threw a pair of INTs and lost a fumble. Allen still ran for a pair of 1-yard TDs, though, to land in mid-QB2 territory.

The Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia supplied an encouraging update on Bills TE Dalton Kincaid. “This camp and preseason have looked and felt a bit different for Kincaid,” Buscaglia said. “He’s been at practice every day, he looks stronger, and he’s playing with more physicality in the blocking game. Most importantly, his usage during camp practices has seen a bit of a bump, even with tight ends Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes fully healthy. It’s not to say that he’s on the precipice of playing 75 percent or more of the team’s offensive snaps, but Kincaid’s health, summer usage, and ability are all trending toward an enhanced role in 2026.”

We haven’t even reached the first regular season of the Josh Allen-DJ Moore connection, and it’s already paying off for the offense. Bills beat reporter Matt Parrino said, “The chemistry is way ahead of schedule. From the jump. Like, his catch percentage is around 90% from the summer.” He later added, “He’s had the highlight-reel plays of camp.”

Day five of Bills’ training camp highlighted the connection between Josh Allen and his newest weapon, D.J. Moore, per WIVB-TV’s Carl Jones.

The Bills and Bears have agreed to a trade to send WR D.J. Moore to Buffalo. The Bears are getting a "mid-round pick" in return, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. It's a much-needed boost to QB Josh Allen's weaponry -- and frees up opportunity for WRs Luther Burden and Rome Odunze and TE Colston Loveland in Chicago.

Update: The Bears are sending Moore and a 2026 fifth-round pick to Buffalo for a 2026 second-rounder.

The Bills are hiring Pete Carmichael as OC, according to multiple reports. Carmichael spent 19 of the last 20 seasons with Sean Payton, first in New Orleans and then in Denver the past two. Bills HC Joe Brady worked under Carmichael as an offensive assistant with the Saints in 2017 and 2018. Brady has already said that he'll continue to call plays in 2026, but we'll see how much Payton flavor Carmichael brings to the offense. Former QB Chase Daniel, who played for the Saints in 2017, expects more play-action passing from the Bills going forward. QB Josh Allen already ranked fifth among 45 qualifying QBs in percentage of dropbacks to feature play action last year. Allen completed 71.7% of his passes at 8.2 yards per attempt off play action, ranking ninth and 15th among those 45 QBs.

Bills QB Josh Allen underwent surgery earlier this week to repair a broken fifth metatarsal in his right foot, he said Thursday. GM Brandon Beane said earlier this month that Allen might need a procedure on the foot that he injured in the Week 16 win over the Browns. Allen explained Thursday that it was an older injury that was re-aggravated against Cleveland. He downplayed the issue, calling it "a little painful" but not a major surgery. "I'm not even lying — if we had to play a game this week, I would find a way to play," he added. A more realistic Ian Rapoport hears that Allen is expected to be sidelined for 8-10 weeks. We'll track his rehab this offseason but aren't expecting this to impact Allen's 2026 campaign. He's started 127 straight regular-season games (and 140 straight, including playoffs).

Bills OC Joe Brady has been promoted and will take over as head coach. He signed a five-year deal. Brady began his time in Buffalo as the QB coach in 2022 before becoming the interim OC in 2023. He was promoted to full-time OC in 2024 and held that role over the last two seasons. Brady’s close ties with QB Josh Allen likely played a large role in his promotion.

Bills GM Brandon Beane said Wednesday that QB Josh Allen could undergo a procedure on his right foot. Per Beane, any procedure would not impact Allen’s availability for OTAs. Allen first suffered the injury in Week 16 and aggravated it in Week 17. We’ll monitor the situation for any changes to his offseason timeline.

The Bills have fired HC Sean McDermott, according to multiple reports. McDermott spent nine seasons at the helm in Buffalo, 98-50 in the regular season with just one non-winning campaign: 6-10 back in 2018, his second year. Each of his other eight Bills teams reached the playoffs. Five straight won the AFC East before this year's club finished second behind the Patriots. McDermott's Bills went 8-8 in the playoffs, winning at least one game each of the past six seasons.

Bills QB Josh Allen was limited in Tuesday's practice and listed on the injury report with foot, knee, and right finger injuries. He's been playing through the foot ailment for multiple weeks but picked up the knee and finger issues in the Wild Card win over the Jaguars. Neither cost him time in that one, and he'll play vs. the Broncos on Saturday. But Allen clearly won't be at 100%. It's a concern for his fantasy upside, particularly the rushing production.

Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's been hobbled lately, but it looks like what was essentially a week off last week did him a lot of good. Expect Allen to be at least close to 100% for Sunday's Wild Card game vs. the Jaguars.

Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) is not listed on the final Week 18 injury report. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so it’s fair to assume he’s still not at 100%. We're expecting Allen to take the first snap of Sunday's game vs. the Jets to push his consecutive starts streak to 127 games, but he probably wont play much beyond that. QB Mitchell Trubisky figures to play most of the game.

Bills QB Josh Allen (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. HC Sean McDermott said that Allen is "moving in the right direction" but that they want to see how the rest of the week goes. We're expecting Allen to start Sunday's game vs. the Jets to push his consecutive starts streak to 127 games, but he probably wont play much beyond that. QB Mitchell Trubisky figures to play most of the game.

Buffalo's loss to Philadelphia on Sunday ended the Bills' chances of winning the division. That might be enough to motivate the team to bench starters in the regular-season finale against the Jets.
