Fantasy Football 2018: Top 10 waiver wire Week 15 pickups

Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills

Every week, Josh Allen just keeps producing with his legs in the Buffalo Bills offense, and he’s making good usage of playmaking, young wide receivers Robert Foster and Zay Jones. In any given week, Jones or Foster can break out for a 100-yard or multi-touchdown game, and perhaps Allen can put his wideouts in a position where both can stand out simultaneously.

Until then, Allen will continue to be a solid streaming option for fantasy football owners, as he’s been one of the better quarterback options over the past month. In Week 14 against the rival New York Jets, Allen ran for over 100 yards on nine carries for the second straight week, and he’s now put together three straight 99-yard games on the ground with two touchdowns in that span.

Of course, Allen, like his fellow rookie quarterbacks not-named “Baker Mayfield”, has work to do in the passing game, and he’s honestly a fantasy asset on the ground who adds value as a passer, much in the same way Tarik Cohen is a running back whose primary value in fantasy is derived from his work in the passing game.

Allen has failed to complete more than 55% of his passes in any of these past three games, but, again, he’s scoring at least 13.5 fantasy points on the ground to make up for it. The Detroit Lions are unlikely to have the answers to spell Allen’s dominance on the ground in Week 15.
