The forecast for today's Bills-Bears game calls for temperatures in the single digits, wind chill below zero and winds of 20-25 mph with gusts of 35-40 mph. Not quite as bad as what we're seeing in Cleveland -- but pretty ugly. We've adjusted our projections for this game to account for the weather.
Bills QB Josh Allen threw for 304 yards and 4 TDs in Saturday night's win over the Dolphins. He completed 25 of 40 passes (62.5%), taking just 2 sacks and tossing no INTs. Allen threw TD passes to TE Dawson Knox, RB James Cook, TE Quintin Morris and RB Nyheim Hines. The QB added 77 yards on 10 rushing attempts, leading the team in that category. Allen gets a weak Bears defense on the road in Week 16, and then a weak Bengals pass defense in Week 17.
The forecast for tonight's Dolphins-Bills game calls for temperatures in the mid-20s and potentially heavy snow. If there's good news, it's that winds are expected to be manageable: 5-10 mph sustained with gusts of 10-15 mph. These are still less-than-ideal conditions for the passing and kicking games, though. We've made some adjustments to our projections for this game. Check out the updated rankings.
WR Cole Beasley is coming out of retirement to re-join the Bills, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. Beasley is 33 now but remained effective as a short-range slot receiver for Buffalo last season, tallying an 82-693-1 line across 16 games. He'll join the practice squad for now but figures to be elevated to the active roster soon. We'll see if he's ready to play vs. the Dolphins on Saturday night. Beasley would be a desperation fantasy play at this point of the season, but his return is bad news for WR Isaiah McKenzie and TE Dawson Knox.
Bills QB Josh Allen threw for a season-low 147 yards in Sunday's win over the Jets. He went just 16 of 27 passing, with 1 TD, taking 3 sacks along the way. Allen saved his fantasy line with 1 TD and 47 yards on 10 rushing attempts. That helped him crack 20 fantasy points for just the 2nd time among his past 5 outings, by ESPN scoring. Favorable matchups with the Dolphins and Bears await the next 2 weeks.
Bills QB Josh Allen was far from peak performance in Sunday's narrow win at Detroit, completing just 57% of his passes for 253 yards and an INT. But he also delivered 2 TD throws and ran for 78 yards and another TD to post a strong score for fantasy football lineups. Allen now gets just the usual layoff before next Thursday night's visit to New England. After that comes a home rematch with the Jets, who limited him to 205 yards in Week 9 and snagged 2 INTs.
Bills QB Josh Allen threw for a mere 197 yards and 1 TD in Sunday's win over the Browns, adding just 7 yards on 3 rushing attempts. Those marked season lows in each yardage category for Allen, but it was his 3rd straight game with 1 TD pass or fewer. We weren't concerned when he just happened to run for 2 scores against the Jets. But the past 2 have followed the right-elbow injury he suffered late in that game. It's worth noting that Buffalo leaned run much more than usual against Cleveland, logging just 30 dropbacks vs. 33 rushing attempts. A Thanksgiving Day game at Detroit just 4 days from this one will be a good test for that elbow and signal what the Bills want to do on offense.
Bills QB Josh Allen (elbow) was limited in practice all week but isn’t listed on the final injury report. That right elbow likely still isn’t at 100%, but it didn’t seem to be much of an issue last week and isn’t a concern for Allen vs. the Browns on Sunday.
The NFL is moving Sunday's Bills-Browns game to Detroit, according to The Athletic's Tim Graham. Buffalo is expected to get pounded with 4+ feet of snow over the next few days. Moving from those conditions to a dome is obviously great news for all of the fantasy players in this game.
