What It Means:

Allen dealt with an elbow injury for a significant stretch of the 2022 NFL season, which could have contributed to his struggles as a passer towards the end of the season. While the team expressed a desire for Allen to protect himself from big hits in the upcoming season, it doesn't seem like the elbow is an issue at this point in the offseason. Allen will likely be one of the first quarterbacks drafted in 2023 fantasy drafts.

Even with some struggles down the stretch, Allen finished as the QB2 in fantasy scoring last season, averaging over 24 fantasy points per game. The team may look to curb some of his rushing production in 2023 after he averaged 47.6 rushing yards per game last year, but that's unlikely to stop him from once again being one of the top signal callers in all of fantasy. He has finished with at least 6 rushing touchdowns in each season since he joined the league.
