Who Should I Start? Joe Flacco or Josh Allen

Thursday, October 2, 12:38 PM

Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator Tommy Rees said that veteran quarterback Joe Flacco is going to remain as the team's No. 2 QB for now, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. "Just feel like Joe's gonna stay the No. 2 right now and has done a lot to prepare and be ready to go in a pinch," Rees said. Flacco was benched in favor of rookie signal-caller Dillon Gabriel after four weeks of rough play for the Browns. He will remain ahead of rookie fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders on the QB depth chart for now as Gabriel's backup, but as things progress this season, Sanders could leapfrog him if the coaching staff continues to like what they see from Sanders' development. In his four starts, Flacco threw for 815 yards, two touchdowns, and six interceptions. He has no business being rostered in fantasy leagues outside of two-QB superflex formats as bench depth.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen continues to justify his elite fantasy status, entering Week 5 as the top-scoring player at his position. Allen has been electric through the air and on the ground, and he'll look to keep rolling in Sunday's matchup against the division rival New England Patriots. While New England's defense could provide a stiffer test than some of Allen's previous opponents, his dual-threat ability and chemistry with tight end Dalton Kincaid make him nearly matchup-proof. The duo's growing red zone connection has been a major boost for fantasy managers, and Allen remains an automatic QB1 start in all formats. Expect another strong outing from one of the game's premier fantasy weapons.
