Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced that quarterback Josh Allen will start in Week 18 against the New England Patriots to maintain his consecutive starts streak. However, with the Bills already secured as the AFC's No. 2 seed, Allen's playing time will be limited, and QB Mitchell Trubisky is expected to take over for the majority of the game. This decision suggests that key offensive players may not see their usual playing time, making them less appealing for fantasy lineups.
- Josh Allen will start but play limited snaps.
- Mitchell Trubisky will take over QB duties for most of the game.
- Buffalo's key offensive players may not be reliable for fantasy this week.
