STACKED’s take
Allen's Week 1 deep passing attack (12.6 air yards, 24.1% deep rate) reflects upgraded receiver depth and tight end tale
Allen led all quarterbacks in Week 1 with 12.6 air yards per attempt and a 24.1% deep pass rate against Houston, a dramatic shift from 2025 when he ranked 26th in air yards per attempt (7.1) and 16th in deep pass rate. Matthew Byham attributes this to the Bills' improved wide receiver depth—DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer, and Greg Dortch—plus a co-starting tight end pair in Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox that can take the top off defenses. Byham notes that MVP-era Allen is more dangerous because he's willing to take what a defense gives him while remaining capable of the biggest play in critical moments, and that the talent around him now enables far more success than the passing game resembled last season.
