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 (shoulder) continues to manage an AC joint sprain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder that he suffered in Week 12, but he was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after putting in a limited session on Wednesday. In the Week 13 win over the Arizona Cardinals, Mayfield went 18-for-28 passing for 194 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions while running for 27 yards. The 30-year-old veteran might be dealing with his left-shoulder injury the rest of the year, but he will be active for a Week 14 divisional contest this Sunday against the 2-10 New Orleans Saints. Don't be fooled by the Saints' record. Their defense is their strength, and they've allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to QBs the last three weeks. In the first meeting with New Orleans, Mayfield went 15-for-24 passing for 152 yards with no TDs or interceptions. He'll be in play as a low-end QB1 in fantasy this weekend, and he could be getting top receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) back from IR.
