Steelers' Kyle Allen: Passes for 193 yards Friday
Kyle Allen completed 17 of 23 pass attempts for 193 yards, a touchdown and an interception while rushing once for 11 yards during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Texans.Justin Fields drew the start during Friday's preseason opener, but Allen saw most of the playing time under center. He led the team to two scores in the second half and completed four passes of at least 24 yards. Despite Friday's solid showing, Allen will have to continue competing for a roster spot as a backup as the preseason progresses since the Pittsburgh Steelers also have Fields and Russell Wilson as options at quarterback.

Steelers' Kyle Allen: Lands in Pittsburgh
The Pittsburgh Steelers agreed to terms on a contract with Kyle Allen on Monday, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.Allen lands in a quarterback room that just brought in new faces Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Currently, Wilson looks to be the favorite to start, though coach Mike Tomlin has stated that Fields will get opportunities to compete. Allen, meanwhile, looks firmly comfortable as the No. 3 option on the depth chart. He served as the backup to the Bills' Josh Allen in 2023.

Bills' Kyle Allen: Bad development for positioning
The Buffalo Bills signed veteran quarterback Mitch Trubisky to a two-year deal on Wednesday, presumably to serve as Josh Kyle Allen's top backup.Kyle Allen played the backup role for Josh Allen in 2023, but with the latter mostly healthy that yielded only spot mop-up duties, as the former never even attempted a pass. Kyle Allen likely won't be doing that for the Bills in 2024 following the Trubisky signing, as Trubisky comes with a better resume and has a first-round label from 2017. Plus, Trubisky is better suited to serve as at least a partial replica of Josh Allen, as both have strong arms, can be tough to tackle and have running ability. There may no longer be room for Kyle Allen on the roster.

Bills' Kyle Allen: Limited action in seven games
Kyle Allen finished the 2023 regular season with seven appearances, most of it coming in mop-up duty, and zero starts.Mop-up duty may be selling Allen's role a bit strong, as he never attempted a pass and rushed for minus-13 yards. Given the amount of time that teammate Josh Allen has to play the role of Superman and his propensity for running the ball so frequently, it's a bit of a surprise that Kyle Allen wasn't needed for at least 1-to-2 starts. We'll see if the Buffalo Bills bring him back for the No. 2 role again next season, where he'd potentially be given the keys to a fantasy luxury vehicle if his teammate were to miss any time. At the very least, it would save some extra tailoring work for the team equipment manager again.

Bills' Kyle Allen: Mops up in Week 15
Kyle Allen played Buffalo's final seven snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-10 win over the Cowboys, attempting no passes and kneeling down twice for minus-two yards.Allen checked into the game with 10:37 remaining in the fourth quarter, when Buffalo held a commanding 31-3 lead. The Buffalo Bills didn't ask Allen to do anything more than to keep the clock moving, as the team ran the ball on all seven of his plays. Allen has yet to attempt a pass this season despite coming off the bench on six occasions this season, usually in garbage-time scenarios.

Bills' Kyle Allen: Sees action in Week 3
Kyle Allen saw action for the second straight week, playing 11 snaps in Buffalo's 37-3 win over Washington in Week 3. He did not attempt a pass and rushed twice for minus-2 yards.The score indicates exactly why Allen was in there -- for the second game in a row the Buffalo Bills blew out their opponent and used the fourth quarter to keep franchise quarterback Josh Allen in one piece. What's not shown in the stats is that Kyle Allen actually led the Bills to their final touchdown drive, mostly by handing the ball off to his teammates and letting them continue to run over the Washington D. Kyle Allen does have value if Josh were ever to miss a few games, given the firepower the team has on offense.

Bills' Kyle Allen: Currently No. 2 behind Josh Allen
Kyle 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 Buffalo 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.

Bills' Kyle Allen: Shines in second preseason game
Kyle Allen completed 12 of 15 passes for 112 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers.Allen was outplayed by his main competition for the backup quarterback job, Matt Barkley, in the first preseason game, but Barkley was picked off three times Saturday and also suffered an elbow injury. As such, Allen appears to have quickly flipped the script and stands as the favorite to open the season as Josh Allen's top understudy.

Texans' Kyle Allen: Another healthy scratch
Kyle Allen (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.For a second consecutive contest, Allen will don street clothes while the duo of Davis Mills and Jeff Driskel are slated to split quarterback reps for the Houston Texans. Considering the team was able to keep the game close Week 14 at Dallas before an eventual 27-23 loss, coach Lovie Smith may continue to roll with this breakdown of signal-callers for the rest of the campaign. In any case, Allen has just three more chances to make an appearance before the offseason begins.
