Week 14 Wrap: Josh Allen delivers the greatest fantasy football QB performance ever

Buffalo Bills @ Los Angeles Rams

Josh Allen scored the most fantasy points by a quarterback ever during the highest-scoring NFL game this season.

He recorded a career-high six touchdowns while becoming the first player in NFL history with three passing and three rushing TDs in the same game.

• The Rams blocked a punt that was returned for a score, but Ty Johnson immediately countered by taking a screen to the house.

• Isaac Guerendo paid off in a big way as this week’s top waiver wire pickup, finishing as fantasy’s RB2 despite leaving early. Guerendo looked good while getting 5.2 YPC, and he likely would’ve scored his third touchdown of the game if not for leaving with a possible foot sprain. Patrick Taylor Jr. took over and scored instead, and Guerendo has a short turnaround with the 49ers playing Thursday night. Taylor Jr. isn’t as explosive and…
