Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen runs with the ball for a touchdown during second half action against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Nov 16, 2025 at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park.

Last Sunday, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen showed exactly why he was last season's NFL MVP.

Allen accounted for six touchdowns − three passing, three rushing − in a shootout win over the Buccaneers, while throwing for 317 yards and adding 40 more on the ground. It was the highest-scoring fantasy performance of the 2025 season at the position (42.7 points) and likely helped Allen's fantasy football managers roll to an easy win.

What will Allen do for an encore this week against a team that's ranked No. 1 overall in the NFL, the Houston Texans? Let's see what the rankings say.
