The Facts: It became instantly obvious during the 2018 season that Allen has a significant amount of mobility. It eventually became clear that, like most mobile quarterbacks, there’s a balance to be struck between cutting it loose and keeping away from injured reserve. The Bills continue to try to strike that balance, five years into Allen’s career. HC Sean McDermott has acknowledged in a conversation with Judy Battista of NFL Network that he’s “absolutely” nervous about the fact that Allen gets tackled on 66 percent of his runs down the field. “I don’t think that’s a healthy way to play QB in this league and it’s undefeated that things are going to happen when you play that style, brand of football,” McDermott said.

Diehards Line: The coach continued: “We have to get that adjusted and it’s never going to go completely away, but it has to get where it’s workable. He’s one of the best in the league and I don’t want to take his personality away from him. ... But there needs to be an adjustment in that style of play. ...” Of course, Allen’s most significant injury in 2022 came when he was hit in the arm while throwing from the pocket. Injuries can, and do, happen anywhere. But, as PFT suggests, quarterbacks who run, and who get tackled, are at enhanced risk of being injured. The more they run, the more they get hit, the greater the chance of an injury. It won’t be easy for the Bills to find that sweet spot. There’s increasing urgency to win a championship. With each season of Allen’s career that it doesn’t happen, the pressure will go up. Thus, the temptation to roll the dice with his health will go up, too. That's a two-edge sword that works in Fantasy the same way it works in the NFL.
