Allen is expected to open the season as Josh Allen's top backup after Matt Barkley (elbow) was placed on injured reserve, Zach Dimmitt of SI.com reports.

The Bills will likely bring one more quarterback into the fold, but the organization may be looking for a signal-caller to add to the practice squad rather than the 53-man roster. Barring the addition of a more experienced option, Allen looks like the clear-cut backup to Josh Allen heading into the season, a distinction that could give the former some fantasy appeal in the event the latter misses time at any point. The Bills offense once again profiles as one of the NFL's top units and features plenty of talent at the skill spots.
