2. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
Allen was incredible in his third season with the Bills. He led Buffalo to the AFC Championship game and proved that the Bills’ offense was built to run through Allen. The young signal caller was the greatest beneficiary to the Stefan Diggs trade. Diggs became Buffalo’s WR1, but he wasn’t the only dynamic weapon that Allen utilized. Cole Beasley, John Brown, and Dawson Knox all earned plenty of targets throughout the season. However, nobody could compare to Diggs. Diggs led the NFL with 127 receptions. He turned those catches into 1,535 yards and eight touchdowns.
Allen made a huge leap this past year. After throwing 10 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 12 games of his rookie season, Allen finished as the top quarterback in fantasy football last season. He completed just under 70 percent of his passes for 4,544 yards, 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He also ran the ball 102 times for 421 yards and an additional eight touchdowns. He averaged 24.7 fantasy points per game. Not many quarterbacks have the dual-threat skills that Allen has learned in Buffalo. Look for him to produce another very strong outing in 2021.
Prediction: 4,500 passing yards, 36 passing touchdowns, 9 interceptions, 575 rushing yards, 8 rushing touchdowns
