Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Brock Purdy

Friday, September 19, 9:41 AM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was highly efficient in Thursday's 31-21 win over division opponent, the Miami Dolphins. He completed 22 of 28 passes for 213 yards and three passing touchdowns. He also contributed on the ground with 25 rushing yards on four attempts, suitable for a 134.1 QB rating. In a game that had the makings of a blowout, the Dolphins kept it close until Tua Tagovailoa threw a late interception. Allen remains a top-three fantasy quarterback every time he steps on the field and is hoping to continue stacking up wins for the Bills on their quest to bring home the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Up next for Allen is a home matchup against the New Orleans Saints, which figures to be another game that the Bills are heavily favored in.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is expected to return to practice on Wednesday. Purdy has missed the past two games with a turf toe injury, forcing the team to lean on backup Mac Jones. Purdy managed limited work late last week, but the 49ers ultimately held him out to give him extra recovery time. With "Mr. Irrelevant" trending toward a Week 4 return against the Jacksonville Jaguars, his presence would be a significant boost for the entire offense, especially second-year wide receiver Ricky Pearsall. While the Jaguars' defense has looked strong early in 2025, this will be the toughest offense they've faced to date. If active, Purdy should be viewed as a QB2 in Week 4.
