Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Davis Mills

Sunday, December 28, 12:30 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (foot) had an injury scare in last week's win over the Cleveland Browns, but X-rays came back negative, and he's active in Week 17 versus the visiting Philadelphia Eagles. Allen put in a full practice late this week and won't have any limitations during Sunday's game against Philly, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's great news for fantasy managers who are hoping that Allen can carry them to a title this weekend. It won't be easy, though, as the Eagles' defense has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing QBs this season. In the last five weeks, they've given up the third-fewest fantasy points to the position. Allen is a freak of nature, though, and he could easily be a league-winner this weekend in a game that could become a shootout as the Bills and Eagles continue to play for playoff seeding in their respective conferences.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills has filled in nicely over the last three games with C.J. Stroud sidelined with a concussion. Mills has led the team to three wins, going 69-for-116 passing (59.5%) for 719 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception while also carrying the ball seven times for 38 yards and another score on the ground. He threw for over 250 yards in his first two starts, and he's tossed two TDs in two of his three starts. While the 27-year-old's fantasy stock has been on the rise as a short-term QB2 option in superflex leagues, he could be headed back to the bench this weekend when the team takes on the division-rival Indianapolis Colts on the road. Stroud remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he's practicing in full and is on track to be cleared to play this Sunday. If Stroud is cleared, Mills will head back to the bench in Week 13 and for the remainder of the season.
