Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady said “at the end of the day, this is Josh Allen’s offense.”

Advice: It might go without saying, but it’s further confirmation that the Bills have finally accepted that the team must let Allen cook if they are to go anywhere in the competitive AFC. As recently as last offseason, Buffalo coaches talked openly about limiting Allen’s rushing role and encouraging him to take easy check-down throws instead of riskier downfield shots. Allen was fantasy football’s top scoring quarterback during Brady’s time as Bills play caller in 2023. He logged at least eight rushing attempts in six of his final seven games — including 12 in a season-ending loss to the Chiefs — after dialing down his running in the first half of the season. A fully unleashed Allen is a frightening prospect for Buffalo opponents. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:50 am

Texans HC DeMeco Ryans said he thinks of Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce “as a one-two punch.”

Advice: Pierce continues to gain offseason steam in the coach-speak department despite the Texans trading for Joe Mixon and signing him to a three-year, $27 million contract extension. Ryans praised Pierce for his work this offseason, saying he “changed his body” and “has everything it takes to be a really good running back” for the Texans. Pierce struggled mightily in his second season as a pro, rushing for 145-416-2 while averaging a dismal 2.9 YPC. He eventually lost the starting role to Devin Singletary, seeing just 40 touches over the final seven regular season games. Mixon will be 28 at the start of the season. While he’s expected to handle the majority of backfield touches, he’s on the wrong side of the running back age cliff and could be spelled frequently for Pierce in hopes of keeping both backs fresh. Pierce doesn’t have much fantasy upside as long as Mixon is healthy and playing well, but he’s worth rostering as a backfield backup if Mixon were to miss time. Rotoworld Thursday, 10:16 am
