Who Should I Start? Jimmy Garoppolo or Josh Allen

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Josh McDaniels said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol but that he has made some progress. "It's moving (forward), we'll just see how fast it's moving," McDaniels said. The Raiders remain optimistic that Garoppolo will eventually clear the concussion protocol later this week and be available to start in Week 4 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Fantasy managers with star wideout Davante Adams are really hoping Jimmy G plays as well. If the 31-year-old can't gain clearance, veteran backup Brian Hoyer would be forced to make the start, which in turn would lower the fantasy value of all of the team's offensive skill players significantly.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 20-of-32 passes for 218 yards, one touchdown and one interception with three carries for 46 yards and an additional touchdown in Week 3's 37-3 blowout win over the Washington Commanders. The 27-year-old's passing line, while modest, was unlikely to yield fantasy fireworks on a day Washington coughed the ball up five times, but Allen was still sharp on Sunday. He constantly worked with short fields, delivering a laser for a 35-yard score to Gabe Davis near the end of the first quarter. Allen's pick came when he uncorked an arm punt on a third-and-20 deep shot to Davis while in Bills territory. The improvising Allen later stepped up for a fourth-quarter 10-yard rushing score to enhance an otherwise subdued fantasy day with the Commanders offering little resistance. Look for Allen and Buffalo's recent dominance to be tested versus the Miami Dolphins buzzsaw in Week 4.
