Listen, we all know how fantasy football quarterbacks are. Everyone’s buzzing about waiting on the position because other spots have bigger gaps. But seriously, getting that elite signal-caller early? That can be a total game-changer, giving you a huge leg up on your buddies. And right now, if you want a guy who’s basically a cheat code, you know who we’re talking about: Josh Allen.
Josh Allen’s Numbers Are Just Wild
Let’s just be real for a second: while fantasy football is always a rollercoaster, Josh Allen just laughs in the face of volatility. This dude delivers consistently elite results every single season. Seriously, the last time Allen didn’t grab a top-two fantasy finish at quarterback was way back in 2019. That’s six straight years of pure fantasy gold, people! His average output over those seasons is insane: we’re talking 4,156.5 passing yards, a 65.8 percent completion rate, 31.7 touchdowns against 12.2 interceptions, and then he just adds another 596.7 rushing yards and 10.3 rushing touchdowns on top. I mean, come on! It’s gotta end sometime, right? But there are no logical reasons to think it’s happening now. Buffalo just traded for DJ Moore, which could totally perk up his passing numbers even more. And his rushing production? Three straight seasons with double-digit touchdowns. That’s as steady as it gets. Honestly, the gap between Allen and everyone else might actually be widening. Some fantasy experts might still tell you to hold off because of opportunity cost, but if you draft Allen, you are practically guaranteed one of the highest scorers in all of fantasy. It’s just a fact.
Lamar Jackson’s Forecast Is Getting Cloudier
Now, don’t get me wrong, Lamar Jackson’s resume is absolutely stacked. The guy’s been crowned NFL MVP twice, and he’s got three first-team All-Pro selections under his belt. That’s an incredible list of achievements. But when you look at his fantasy outlook, it’s actually way murkier than you might expect. The big worry with a quarterback who runs as much as Lamar does is injuries. That’s always in the back of your mind. And get this: if his rushing volume dips, like it did big time last season, it can absolutely torpedo his fantasy value. Then there’s the whole new regime in Baltimore. This season will be Lamar’s first playing for a head coach not named John Harbaugh. Plus, Declan Doyle just replaced Todd Monken as offensive coordinator this offseason. Change can be a good thing, for sure, and his MVP wins both came under a new offensive coordinator. But things are going to be different. He could be spending a lot more time under center than he has in the past. He’s good enough to adapt, which is why he’s still sitting at number two on the quarterback big board. But yeah, his projections are looking way cloudier than normal.
So as you head into your fantasy drafts, you’ve got the unstoppable force in Josh Allen and then Lamar Jackson, who comes with some serious question marks despite all the bling. Pick smart, because that QB choice can truly make or break your fantasy season.
