Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills

No stranger to this list, Josh Allen continues to offer a nice floor for fantasy scoring thanks to the damage he does with this legs.

Since he returned to the starting lineup in Week 12, Allen's 351 rushing yards are the sixth-most in the NFL, regardless of position. His three rushing touchdowns are also tied for fourth, and that gives him an average of 13.3 fantasy points per game from just his work on the ground.

With his huge red-zone workload, those touchdowns don't look like a fluke, either.

He's not adding a ton through the air, but averaging 200.3 yards, 1 touchdown and 1 interception per game over his last four does add some value to his rushing numbers.

Our models have the New England Patriots ranked a middling 16th against the pass, so this matchup isn't overly concerning on that front. They've also been very generous to quarterbacks on the ground, allowing top-10 rushing yards to the position. They've allowed five different quarterbacks to run for at least 20 yards against them, with two of those passers running for 40-plus yards.
