What happened: Allen accounted for more than 400 total yards and four touchdowns in his last game against Detroit. The dual-threat output put both his passing and rushing production in play immediately.

Why it matters: Quarterbacks who add rushing volume to a heavy passing load can separate from the position quickly. That keeps Josh Allen central to early-season lineup decisions for managers chasing top-end scoring.

By the numbers: Last game: 400-plus total yards, 4 total touchdowns.

What to watch: The next checkpoint is whether that workload holds over another full week of game action. If it does, Allen's early-season fantasy premium should stick.
