Who Should I Start? Andy Dalton or Josh Allen

Sunday, November 2, 11:49 AM

Carolina Panthers veteran quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) is active for the Week 9 contest against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday and will serve as the backup to Bryce Young, who is returning from a one-game absence due to an ankle sprain, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer. The 38-year-old Dalton made his first start of the year in place of the injured Young last weekend and fell flat in the blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills, going 16-for-24 passing for 175 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception. The Red Rifle sustained a broken right thumb in the process, which limited him in practice this week. Dalton is apparently good to go as the backup this weekend, though, so third-stringer Mike White will be a healthy scratch.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 28 of his 40 pass attempts for 306 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 10 loss against the Miami Dolphins. He also rushed for 31 yards, took three sacks, and lost a fumble. The loss and two turnovers are a major blemish on Allen's 2025 statistics, but he offered his fantasy managers some relief with two touchdowns and over 300 yards. For the most part, managers won't care whether the Bills win or lose, as long as their quarterback continues to post solid fantasy performances. Nevertheless, he'll look to clean things up ahead of Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Allen should still be trusted as a strong QB1 in fantasy football.
