Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Dillon Gabriel

Saturday, October 25, 1:54 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen remains a must-start QB1 option despite a tough Week 8 matchup against a top-10 Carolina Panthers defense. Allen has eclipsed the 20-point mark in four of six games this season, proving his worth as the most consistent quarterback in the league. Allen managed 17.4 fantasy points in his last game, against the Falcons, who allow the second-fewest points to opposing quarterbacks. Allen remains a matchup-proof option the rest of the way, with a high floor due to his scrambling ability.

Cleveland Browns owner Jimmy Haslam spoke publicly about the team's quarterback room, noting that he wants to see more from rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Haslam did acknowledge that three games is "not a great sample (size)" to evaluate a rookie quarterback. The 24-year-old has completed just 59.8 percent of his passes for 546 yards and three touchdowns, but he doesn't have a turnover yet. One of the biggest obstacles for Gabriel so far has been his matchups and supporting cast. Not only has he faced tough defenses in the Vikings and Steelers, but he hasn't received much help from his depleted group of wide receivers. The rookie deserves at least a few more starts to increase his sample size, with Shedeur Sanders remaining a possible candidate to take over as the starter midseason.
