Week 15 Fantasy Football Wrap: Somehow, Josh Allen does it again

Buffalo Bills @ Detroit Lions

Josh Allen followed up last week’s historical fantasy performance with yet another huge game Sunday, throwing and rushing for two touchdowns. Allen had TD runs during the first two drives and 254 passing yards (13.4 YPA!) by halftime. He became just the third player ever with 250 passing yards and two rushing scores in the first half. Allen has totaled 854 yards and 10 touchdowns while committing zero turnovers and taking no sacks over the last two weeks, posting a whopping 93.16 fantasy points. Allen had the fastest 50+ yard throw ever during Sunday’s big win, when he further solidified his case as this year’s MVP.

Jared Goff responded with five TD passes and finished just behind Allen with one of this season’s biggest QB fantasy performances. The Lions faced their largest deficit (21 points) of the year in the third quarter, so game script led to a season-high 59 pass attempts. Goff has a 19:1 TD:INT ratio over his last five home games.

Amon-Ra St. Brown secured 14-of-18 targets and made up for a lost fumble with a 66-yard touchdown catch on a third-and-17. It was the longest catch of St. Brown’s career, and his fantasy day (WR3) would’ve been even bigger if not for being tackled at the one-yard line later in the fourth quarter (Jahmyr Gibbs would punch in the score).

The top two scoring teams in the league didn’t disappoint, totaling an NFL-high 90 points. Bills games have combined to score 176 points over the last two weeks, featuring plenty of fantasy fireworks.

• James Cook scored two touchdowns and finished as fantasy’s RB3, while Gibbs also scored twice and was this week’s RB2.

• Amari Cooper somehow saw zero targets on 34 pass attempts one week after getting 14.

• The Lions attempted an onside kick down 10 points with 12 minutes left, but it failed spectacularly, with the Bills returning it to the five-yard line (Allen tossed a TD the next play). Detroit nearly got its second onside attempt late in the game…
