Josh Allen 2021 Player Outlook: Looking to Build on Last Year's Breakout
4 years agoBuffalo Bills' quarterback Josh Allen showed progress in 2019 before making a statement in 2020 that saw him finish second in MVP voting after leading the Bills to a 13-3 record and their first playoff win since 1995. Allen was QB1 in 2020 with an average of 25.32 fantasy points per game. He threw for over 4,500 yards, 37 touchdowns and just 10 interceptions while adding 421 yards on the ground and a team-leading eight rushing touchdowns. Looking at the Bills' offense from 2020 to 2021, the lone major change to the team's offense saw wideout John Brown depart to the Las Vegas Raiders and be replaced by second-year wideout Gabriel Davis and veteran Emmanuel Sanders. Allen's rushing floor is what dramatically elevates the floor that he plays at. The points that he gained on the ground last year were good enough for a 5.6 point bump per game. While a bump in running back production from Devin Singletary and Zack Moss is possible, Allen still figures to be very much involved in running the football, and Allen will be looking to turn in his third straight QB1 season.
