Fans and analysts who selected Josh Allen in fantasy football were treated to an incredible performance in Week 13 at the Highmark Stadium. The Bills quarterback threw a touchdown, ran for a score, and even tallied a receiving TD against the 49ers to leave a huge impression with a hat-trick.

While Allen wasn’t officially credited with the reception, he did gain seven receiving yards and scored a receiving touchdown.
With the Bills securing a 35-10 win—thanks to Allen’s two touchdowns and 148 yards—fantasy football managers definitely got their money’s worth.
During his post-game interview with NBC sideline reporter Melissa Stark, Allen revealed that he’s playing fantasy football himself and had chosen to pick himself over Brock Purdy for his team.

Melissa Stark: “And Cris Collinsworth is very excited because he started you on his fantasy team.”
Josh Allen: “I love that. So did I.”
Melissa Stark: “Perfect. Oh, good to hear it.”
Allen bet on himself and didn’t disappoint. Allen’s viral response highlighted his self-confidence, which mirrors his high MVP odds (+150) after the Bills-49ers game.
Purdy, struggling in the snowy weather, finished with just 94 yards and no touchdowns. Meanwhile, Allen’s remarkable 7-yard touchdown—where he ran and caught the ball himself—amused many, including Patrick Mahomes, who tweeted in response.
That was lit!

With Allen leading the way, the Bills (10-2) are now seen as the biggest threat to the Chiefs (11-1) in the AFC. And if the Bills and Chiefs meet in the Championship game, we can be sure of one thing: Josh Allen knows exactly who to pick for his fantasy team.
