Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Caleb Williams

Wednesday, September 17, 1:31 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen wasn't at his best in a win over the New York Jets in Week 2, but it could be a different story against the Miami Dolphins on Thursday. Allen has typically thrived against the AFC East rivals since entering the NFL in 2018. In 15 contests against Miami (including playoffs), Allen has gone 13-2 with 45 touchdowns (40 passing, five rushing), 10 interceptions, 273 passing yards per game, and a 107.6 QB rating. Worsening matters for the Dolphins, they have been ineffective against the pass so far this season. They've allowed the league's highest completion percentage (78.8) and its second-highest passer rating (126.1) despite facing non-elite signal-callers in Daniel Jones and Drake Maye. Miami has also given up the second-most fantasy points to QBs in 2025, making it hard to imagine that its defense will prevent Allen from rebounding in Week 3.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams went 19-for-30 passing for 207 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the 52-21 blowout loss in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Williams added five carries for 27 yards and was also sacked four times for a loss of 29 yards. The 23-year-old former first overall pick wasn't terrible in this one, but the Bears' defense really gave them no chance. Both of Williams' touchdown passes went to second-year wideout Rome Odunze, who is quickly becoming his favorite target early in 2025. Williams hasn't done anything yet to turn the heads of fantasy managers, but he should remain a decent QB2 with upside in head coach Ben Johnson's system. He'll have a prime opportunity for a QB1 performance in Week 3 versus a Dallas Cowboys defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to the position through two weeks.
