Who Should I Start? Joe Flacco or Josh Allen

Wednesday, October 30, 12:50 PM

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen reported that quarterback Joe Flacco will be the team's starter moving forward. Indianapolis is going all-in on Flacco, who they believe gives them the "best chance to win right now." Steichen also noted they have not given up on second-year quarterback Anthony Richardson. Evidently, Indy has finally realized what was immediately apparent when Richardson went down with a hip injury in Week 4 -- the veteran QB is far and away the most competent signal-caller on this squad. The 39-year-old will be a massive boon to all Colts' pass-catchers and should help substantiate the offense overall for the remainder of his tenure as the starter. Among the 225 quarterbacks who have dropped back 250-plus times since the year 2000, Richardson ranks 222nd in completion rate (50%).

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 24 of 34 pass attempts for 283 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the team's 31-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. He also added seven carries for 25 yards. Outside of his first interception of the season, Allen was in complete command of the offense. He led a 90-yard drive, capped by a two-yard touchdown reception by Keon Coleman, on Buffalo's first possession and the Bills never relinquished the lead. Allen's second touchdown pass came on a 12-yard strike to tight end Dalton Kincaid just before halftime. The 28-year-old was just inside QB1 range before Sunday and Monday Night Football. The Bills host the Miami Dolphins in Week 9.
