Who Should I Start? Jimmy Garoppolo or Josh Allen

The Los Angeles Rams agreed to terms with free-agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo on an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, according to sources. Following his disastrous year with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2023, Jimmy G is now set to join the Rams for one season as Matthew Stafford's backup. Garoppolo must first serve a two-games suspension to start the year for performance-enhancing drugs, but then he will be holding a clipboard on the sidelines with the Rams. The 32-year-old signal-caller played in seven games with the Raiders last year before getting hurt and eventually benched for rookie Aidan O'Connell, going 110-for-169 for 1,205 yards, seven touchdowns and nine interceptions. Pretty much all of the fantasy value that Jimmy G had going into last season is now gone.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen threw for three touchdowns and added three more on the ground in the team's 42-44 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Allen was the biggest beneficiary of the shootout in the City of Angels. In addition to his six scores, Buffalo's franchise quarterback threw for 342 yards and ran for 82 on 10 carries. Although he hit a season-high mark for rushing yards, all three touchdowns were one-yard plunges. All of that production turned into 51 fantasy points. Despite the loss, Allen's performance confirms his status as the favorite to win MVP. Another shootout against the Detroit Lions could be on tap next week.
