Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Dillon Gabriel

Wednesday, November 19, 11:45 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is coming off a monster performance in last Sunday's 44-32 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He threw for 317 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing for 40 yards on six rushing attempts and three more scores versus the Bucs. Allen will look to keep things rolling against the Houston Texans on Thursday night. Houston's defense is third-best in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game at 174, but Allen's ability to beat them with his feet gives him a high floor. The Texans' defense has held opponents to 20-or-fewer points in all but two matchups this season, to keep their struggling offense in ballgames. However, Allen's MVP-caliber season continues, and he remains a must-start and comes in as the second-ranked quarterback heading into Week 12 in the latest RotoBaller rankings.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that rookie quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) is improving, but he remains in the league's concussion protocol, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. Gabriel will not start this weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders after suffering a concussion in the Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, paving the way for rookie fifth-rounder Shedeur Sanders to make his first NFL start on Sunday in Sin City. The Browns are saying that the 24-year-old Gabriel will be the starter once again when he's cleared from the concussion protocol, though, so he could return to duties under center as soon as Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers. Gabriel has been a shaky low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes in his first eight NFL games (six starts), completing 59.2% of his pass attempts for 937 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions.
