According to ESPN’s football fantasy forecasts, the three-time MVP finalist is unlikely to achieve his desired number of game-winning performances.
According to ESPN’s Mike Clay’s fantasy football stat projections for 2024, Allen will only score a meager 3,699 yards passing and 31 total touchdowns (23 passes and 8 rushes).
He easily passed those numbers even though he played through elbow injuries in 2022 and shoulder injuries in 2023.
Given that Joe Brady is in charge of a tight offensive unit and has not thrown for fewer than 4,283 yards in any of his previous four seasons, the figures really indicate that Allen will not be that low.
Either a full statistical oddity will transpire, or a case of teasing the quarterback and the Buffalo supporters is on the schedule. Which Allen, the fading star or the consistent game-changer, will emerge?
