Josh Allen

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Josh Allen has been playing through a fractured left hand since Week 1.

Allen was on the team’s injury report as a full participant for months after landing on his hand during a touchdown run in a Week 1 win over Arizona. He checked out his hand after slamming it into the ground while being tackled but told reporters after the game he was fine. “Fine” is putting it lightly as Allen would go on to post MVP-caliber numbers and is now the front-runner to take home the award. He was removed from the injury report entirely after Buffalo’s Week 12 bye. The injury obviously never put Allen at risk of missing time and he remains the top fantasy option in the game heading into Week 16.
