Who Should I Start? Andy Dalton or Josh Allen

Monday, October 27, 8:37 AM

Andy Dalton went 16-for-24 for 175 yards with no TD passes and three turnovers in the Carolina Panthers' 40-9 loss on Sunday. The 15-year veteran had a miserable day, as he was sacked seven times, threw an interception, and fumbled twice. Before this week's matchup against Buffalo, the Panthers' QBs had not been sacked more than three times in a single game. In Dalton's first outing as the starting QB this season, the Panthers registered a season low in points and only put up a garbage time TD in the fourth quarter. Head coach Dave Canales said after the game that Bryce Young was close to suiting up for the game vs. Buffalo, suggesting that Dalton may not start in Week 9 against the Green Bay Packers. It could be another situation where Carolina falls behind, as Green Bay has scored 27-plus points in its last four games. If Young is the starter, he should only be used as a QB2 in superflex formats.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a modest day from a yardage perspective in his team's 40-9 Week 8 win over the Carolina Panthers, completing 12 of 19 pass attempts for 163 yards and rushing three times for seven yards. However, Allen saved his fantasy production by throwing a touchdown pass and rushing for two more. The 29-year-old remains a touchdown-scoring machine. Across seven games played in 2025, Allen has thrown for 1,560 yards and 12 touchdowns and run for 261 yards and five scores. As long as he's healthy, Allen is a must-start fantasy quarterback. He and the Bills will host the rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 9.
