Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Baker Mayfield

Sunday, December 7, 5:54 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 22 of his 28 pass attempts for 251 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. He also rushed the ball nine times for an additional 78 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. Allen led three consecutive touchdown drives to erase a 10-point deficit and pull ahead by multiple possessions. This was one of Allen's best games of 2025, and it erased the bitter feeling of amassing just two touchdowns and three turnovers over his last two contests. The 29-year-old continues to rank as the top-scoring quarterback in fantasy football this season, and he remains a must-start fantasy quarterback heading into Week 15 against the New England Patriots. He had two passing touchdowns and 53 rushing yards in his last outing against the Patriots.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield completed 19 of his 34 pass attempts for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Thursday's Week 15 loss against the Atlanta Falcons. He also took five sacks in the defeat. Mayfield was decent for most of the game, but he threw a costly interception in the fourth quarter that allowed the Falcons to mount an improbable comeback. The 30-year-old has really struggled to hit his receivers in the back half of the season, completing just 54.7% of his passes over the Bucs' last five games. He ranks 21st among quarterbacks in fantasy points per game during that span. Managers will hope that he can bounce back in a key divisional battle against the Panthers next week, but it won't be easy. Carolina has intercepted five passes over its last two games. Mayfield remains outside the top 12 fantasy quarterbacks for the time being.
