Josh Allen Finally Gets His Alpha Receiver

Thursday, March 5, 7:59 AM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has finished as the fantasy QB1 and QB2 over the past two seasons, with an NFL MVP mixed in there, while throwing to Khalil Shakir as his top wide receiver. Following Thursday's breaking news that the Bills will acquire DJ Moore from the Bears for a 2026 pick swap, Allen will now share the huddle with his most talented receiver since Stefon Diggs' final season in Buffalo in 2023. While Moore is coming off a down year in Chicago, in which he made only 50 catches for 682 yards and six touchdowns, targets were split almost frustratingly unilaterally between Moore, Rome Odunze, Colston Loveland, and, later in the season, Luther Burden III. In Buffalo, Moore should step in as the undisputed WR1 that the Bills have been in search of for years, prolonging Allen's reign as the QB1 in all dynasty formats.

Baker Mayfield News

Baker Mayfield Took a Major Step Backward in 2025

Sunday, February 22, 4:37 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield had a very disappointing 2025 season. Just one year removed from ranking as the fantasy QB4 with 44 touchdowns, the former first-round pick responded with just 3,693 passing yards, 27 total touchdowns, and 14 turnovers. He ranked as the QB12 in fantasy football, which was his lowest mark since 2022 with the Panthers and Rams. Wide receiver injuries and poor coaching could be to blame, as the Bucs' entire offense struggled in their first year without Liam Coen. Tampa Bay fired their Coen replacement, offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard, after just one year, replacing him with Zac Robinson for 2026. It's unclear how much that will change, but Mayfield is certainly a candidate for positive regression (bouncing back to top-10 form) next year. He's worth buying low in dynasty leagues if his current manager is looking to sell at a discount.
