Josh Allen will sport a clear visor in Week 3 to shield his nose after a Week 2 cut that left him bleeding on the field. He returned to finish the game, and the Bills expect him to play TNF with the visor in place, claiming no vision issues and only minor bruising. The move caps a short-term risk for facial injuries, while fantasy managers eye how the setup could influence Bills’ passing tempo and Allen’s involvement in a potential shootout with the Dolphins.

In Week 2, Mitchell Trubisky filled in briefly as Allen dealt with the nose bleed, but Allen remained the starter. The upcoming Dolphins game is the backdrop for extra protection and a confidence boost for Bills players, with Allen joking about becoming the “3rd Bosa brother” as he updates his gear and readiness for Thursday night action.

Caleb Williams arrives in Chicago amid a fever pitch, with Ben Johnson reshaping the offense and a bolstered line around him. Williams’ rookie year flashed his ceiling, and the Bears’ 4000-yard goal signals a fantasy-friendly peak if protection and play-calling cooperate.

The city’s quarterback fishbowl is real, but Williams carries a blend of poise and toughness observers say could unlock Chicago’s search for a franchise passer. Chicago bets on Williams, a culture shift, and a playoff push, even as sacks and defensive schemes test the ceiling.

As ownership, stadium plans, and preseason tempo collide, the Williams era stands as a litmus test for a franchise hoping to turn long-running optimism into sustainable production.

Five bold predictions shape Buffalo’s 2025 offense: Josh Allen earns a second MVP-level season with a retooled receiving corps and a Brady-influenced, space-creating outside attack. Dalton Kincaid and a deeper group including Elijah Moore, Joshua Palmer, Khalil Shakir, and Keon Coleman unlock big-play potential and more red-zone targets. Mitch Trubisky could be a trade chip to supplement depth, while James Cook ascends into MVP consideration. Buffalo finally fixes late-game playcalling and powers to 14 regular-season wins, clinching the No. 1 seed and a shot at a first Super Bowl since 1993.

All of this hinges on a high-variance but explosive offense that leans on protection, spreading defenses with vertical routes, and a multifaceted run-game. The offense would look for improved situational playcalling, better efficiency in the red zone, and a balance that keeps Allen clean and Cook involved as a dynamic two-way weapon. If these pieces click, Buffalo could redefine its ceiling in 2025 without sacrificing its identity.

Mitchell Trubisky remains Buffalo’s backup to Josh Allen after beating out Mike White for 2025, but FanDuel still pegged him as the 28th-best NFL backup. The Bills hope Allen stays healthy, keeping Trubisky on the fringes of fantasy relevance while White watches from the wings. In a league-wide QB2 environment, the ranking underscores how precarious a path exists for any backup to deliver consistent fantasy value.

Across the NFL, teams prize a reliable reserve, yet the reality is that meaningful fantasy upside rarely comes from the average QB2. For fantasy managers, the Bills’ depth chart signals minimal upside unless Allen misses time; Trubisky’s ceiling remains capped, with White framed as a speculative contingency in deeper leagues or DFS when Allen rests or is limited.
