Josh Allen Will Start Week 18, Won't Play Long

Josh Allen Will Start Week 18, Won't Play Long

Bills HC Sean McDermott said Monday that QB Josh Allen will start Sunday's game vs. the Patriots to keep his consecutive starts streak alive but that he won't play for long. Buffalo is locked into the AFC's No. 2 seed, so it'll be QB Mitchell Trubisky for the majority of Week 18. Don't expect the Bills' other key offensive weapons to play their usual amount either. We'll look for more information on Buffalo's exact plans, but this is probably an offense to avoid in season-long fantasy lineups.

The forecast for today's Jets-Bills game calls for a 45-60% chance of rain throughout the contest with sustained winds of 15 mph and gusts around 30 mph. They're far from ideal conditions but shouldn't kill either passing game. The game still has a 44.5-point over/under, with the Bills implied for 27.25 points. We're not adjusting our projections for this one.
