Allen clarified during his season-ending press conference this week that his right shoulder got better as the campaign moved along and that at the moment, he's not planning to have any type of surgery, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Said Allen: "It just felt like it kept getting better as the season went on. And especially these last probably four weeks, felt like it didn't bother me at all. So yeah, I don't think there's anything." The team's brass affirmed later in the week that there are no plans for surgery for their star quarterback. This is nice news for anyone holding Allen in a keeper league, as he'll be able to hit the 2024 season healthy after putting up an extremely fantasy-friendly 40-plus touchdowns (passing plus rushing) for an NFL-record fourth straight season.

Allen completed 26 of 39 pass attempts for 186 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 72 yards and two scores on 18 attempts in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Allen did everything in his power to lift the Bills past the Chiefs in the postseason contest, but a heartbreaking missed field goal capped off multiple follies that eventually cost Buffalo its season. Patrick Mahomes had the better passing performance out of the two phenoms (131.6 QBR to Allen's 86.1 QBR), but Allen's gaudy rushing line gave him the upper hand in terms of fantasy scores. Allen could have had an even better statistical night had top wideout Stefon Diggs (3-21-0) not dropped an absolute howitzer that hit him in the hands near Kansas City's end zone late in Sunday's narrow loss. Allen will wrap up the 2023-24 campaign with 51 total touchdowns (44 in the regular season) and over 5,000 combined yards from scrimmage.

Allen completed 21 of 30 pass attempts for 203 yards and three touchdowns while adding 74 yards and a fourth score on eight carries in Monday's 31-17 wild-card victory over the Steelers.

Allen and the No. 2 seed Bills took care of business against a banged-up Steelers unit in the opening round of the playoff schedule. The dual-threat quarterback had a strong game from the pocket (121.9 quarterback rating) while also ripping off a 52-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to give Buffalo a 21-0 lead. Allen would cruise to victory and finish the game scoring all four of Buffalo's touchdowns. With a strong showing out of the gates, Allen prepares to host long-time rival Patrick Mahomes when the No. 3 seed Chiefs travel to take on the Bills on Sunday.

Due to a snowstorm in Buffalo, Allen and the Bills will now meet the Steelers on Monday afternoon instead of Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's a bizarre situation where there will now be two playoff games on a Monday, but the league couldn't risk having a game at the regularly scheduled time due to emergency conditions in Buffalo. The development might actually benefit those using players in the passing game for either team, as the snow and high winds may have been so nasty Sunday that any sort of successful attack through the air would have been very difficult to achieve. That will still be a factor come Monday, but with the winds expected to be down a bit, each team may be able to at least pass the ball without it looking like a cartoon, for those that may recall the Bills-Patriots primetime game in December of 2021.

Allen completed 30 of 38 pass attempts for 359 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing 15 times for 67 yards and losing a fumble in Sunday's 21-14 win over Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Fans watching Sunday Night Football were treated to the full Josh Allen Experience and all the ups and downs that came along the way to an eventual AFC East-clinching victory over the now No. 6 seed Dolphins. The gunslinging signal-caller threw two more interceptions to bring his season total up to 18 over 17 starts, though one of his picks Sunday turned out to be a savvy decision on a broken play on fourth down that resulted in the QB's second interception of the game but a net positive for Buffalo in terms of field position. Allen finishes the regular season with 4,306 yards, 29 touchdowns and 18 interceptions as a passer in addition to 111 attempts for 524 yards and an attention-grabbing 15 touchdowns as a rusher (surpassing his previous high of seven). The Bills' franchise quarterback will begin preparations to face a banged-up Steelers squad next Sunday in the opening round of the playoffs.

Allen (neck/right finger) practiced fully Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, and the QB's ability to maintain that level during Thursday's session paves the way for him start start Sunday night's game against the Dolphins. With a win in the NFL's last regular-season game of the season, the Bills can secure the AFC East crown.

Allen (neck/finger) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Chris Brown of One Bills Live reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen had some soreness in his neck after Buffalo's previous game, but his full participation in Wednesday's walk-through suggests he isn't in danger of sitting out Sunday's pivotal regular-season finale in Miami. He was asked Wednesday whether the injury could impact his availability, and Allen said "no, not at all," per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com. Allen's presence Sunday will be pivotal, as the Bills would win the NFC East with a victory but could miss the postseason altogether with a loss, depending on how things unfold in other Week 18 games.

Coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that while Allen is sore after suffering a neck stinger on the final drive of Buffalo's win over the Patriots on Sunday, the quarterback's practice schedule this week or availability for Sunday night's finale in Miami isn't likely to be impacted, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bills are playing for the the AFC East crown in a huge primetime matchup Sunday night, and even if enough things break their way ahead of the NFL's final regular-season game to ensure they are guaranteed at least a wild-card spot, a loss to the Dolphins would cost the team home playoff games and significant seeding. As such, it's hard to picture a scenario in which Allen won't play, setting the stage for him to be one of the better fantasy options in a week where several starting quarterbacks will be rested or are already hurt.

Allen suffered a stinger in Sunday's win over New England and has some neck soreness Monday, but the issue isn't expected to impact his practice availability, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The stinger came late in Sunday's victory, and Allen was replaced by Kyle Allen with Buffalo needing only to run down the clock with a pair of kneel-downs. Despite the fact that the former was experiencing lingering neck soreness Monday, head coach Sean McDermott said "not that I'm aware of" when asked if the starting quarterback's practice status would be affected by the issue. The Bills can win the AFC East division title by beating Miami on Sunday evening, and Allen is fully expected to be behind center for the matchup.

Allen completed 15 of 30 passes for 169 yards and an interception while adding 44 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Bill Belichick's defense did an excellent job containing Allen as a passer but couldn't do much to stop him at the goal line, as he punched in a one-yard TD in each of the first and third quarters. Allen came out of the game for the final couple kneeldowns at the end of the fourth, and the Bills' starting QB acknowledged after the game he's picked up a stinger in his left shoulder on his last carry of the day, per Josh Reed of WIVB Buffalo. The issue seems minor though, and Allen doesn't seem to be in much danger of missing a Week 18 contest against the Dolphins with the AFC East title on the line.
