Josh Allen is having a season that could find him winning his first-ever NFL MVP award. The Buffalo Bills quarterback is third in the NFL this season in passing yards with 2,198 yards and second in touchdown passes with 19. He's in control of a Bills offense that's ranked second in points per game with 29 and first in total yards.
The former Wyoming quarterback is not only a threat with his incredible arm; defenses must worry about his feet as well. Thus far, in the 2022-2023 season, he's fifth among starting quarterbacks in rushing yards with 306 yards. The star signal-caller also has two touchdowns this season.
Josh Allen's status against the Jets
The Bills franchise quarterback has taken his fair share of hits this season, having been sacked 11 times in the 2022-2023 season. That being said, Allen is a full go versus the New York Jets in Week Nine. The Pro Bowler has faced the Jets in seven previous meetings in his career. Overall, he has a 5-2 record versus the Jets, including winning the last four starts.
Against the Jets in his career, he has thrown for 1,689 yards, seven touchdowns, and five interceptions versus the Jets. The former Wyoming quarterback will be seeking his fifth straight victory at MetLife Stadium in Week 9.
Josh Allen's fantasy football update and predictions
Allen has been the top quarterback in fantasy football this season, scoring 190.5 points. His lowest fantasy output this season came in Week 8 versus the Green Bay Packers. In that game, he had 17.6 points as he threw for 218 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Facing the Jets this week might be a tough test for the quarterback.
The Jets have allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season at 106.8 points. Even more concerning for the Bills star, opposing quarterbacks have thrown nine interceptions versus the Jets defense. The nine interceptions are tied with the Chicago Bears for the fourth-most in the NFL this season.
However, expect the former first-round selection to score, at least, 17.6 fantasy points against the Jets. The upside is there to reach the season-high 35.2 points he had against the Pittsburgh Steelers back in Week 5.
Josh Allen's alternative picks for your fantasy team
If the Bills quarterback isn't available on your fantasy team, there are a couple of options to go with instead. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes faces the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. The Titans have allowed 14 passing touchdowns, tied for the fourth-most in the NFL this season. Mahomes has averaged 24.2 fantasy points per game in the 2022-2023 season so far.
Quarterback Geno Smith is a strong option as the Seattle Seahawks face the Arizona Cardinals in Week Nine. So far, the Cardinals have allowed the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season with 160.3 points. Smith is currently tied with Aaron Rodgers with 13 touchdowns this season.
