Allen propelled a dramatic Week 1 comeback for Buffalo, but a string of late-game breaks shaped the final outcome. The Bills leveraged Allen’s fourth-quarter surge, Dalton Kincaid’s presence in red-zone moments, and a touchback swing on Ravens special-teams to tilt the contest in their favor. For fantasy, Allen’s late-game volume and Kincaid’s growing trust in critical downs elevate Buffalo’s late-game ceiling and could boost tight-end streaming in tight matchups.

Meanwhile, Baltimore’s opportunity swings—Derrick Henry’s 46-yard burst, a missed extra point, a touchback near the Bills’ red zone, and a near-block on the game-winner—underline the volatility of Week 1 outcomes. The narrative hints at how quarterback-adjacent plays and special-teams margins can influence fantasy Week 2 projections and game-script expectations for both teams.
