The Buffalo Bills will play their sixteenth matchup of the NFL season against the Cincinnati Bengals at Paycor Stadium on Monday. The Bills have already clinched their playoff spot and have won six back-to-back games.

Buffalo have a 12-3 record and are first in the AFC East. They are strong contenders to win the AFC championship and the Super Bowl thereafter.

In Week 17, star quarterback Josh Allen will start under center. Allen hasn't missed a single game this season and is set to play against the Bengals. Allen has played in 15 games this season and has thrown for 4,029 yards, 32 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions with a completion percentage of 63.4.

Josh Allen's fantasy outlook for Buffalo Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals

In Week 16 against the Chicago Bears, Allen threw for 172 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Allen has seen his passing production drop in recent weeks.

Allen is ranked 11th in PFF passing grades, 21st in yards per attempt, first in big-time throw rate, and 18th in adjusted completion rate since Week 12. He has only had one 300-yard passing week since Week 11, which is disappointing by his standards.

Allen's rushing performances in his last five games have helped him record four top-ten point totals in NFL fantasy. With the upcoming match highly relevant in the battle for the AFC top seed, expect to see Allen use his legs on several occasions.

Allen is likely to score at least 20 points in fantasy leagues this week, and given the scoring potential of both sides, he could even break the 30 mark.

The Buffalo Bills selected Josh Allen with the seventh overall pick in the 2018 draft. Allen started 11 games during his first season and threw for 2,074 yards, 10 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Allen has thrown for more than 4,000 yards and over 35 touchdowns in each of the last two seasons. Allen also has a record of throwing for over 4,000 yards and rushing for 750 yards in a campaign.

This season, he has thrown for 4,029 yards, 32 TDs and 13 interceptions. He has also recorded 746 yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. He will doubtless add some decent numbers to these totals in what is anticipated to be a high-scoring affair in Cincinnati.
