Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Jalen Hurts

Monday, September 25, 12:06 AM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 20-of-32 passes for 218 yards, one touchdown and one interception with three carries for 46 yards and an additional touchdown in Week 3's 37-3 blowout win over the Washington Commanders. The 27-year-old's passing line, while modest, was unlikely to yield fantasy fireworks on a day Washington coughed the ball up five times, but Allen was still sharp on Sunday. He constantly worked with short fields, delivering a laser for a 35-yard score to Gabe Davis near the end of the first quarter. Allen's pick came when he uncorked an arm punt on a third-and-20 deep shot to Davis while in Bills territory. The improvising Allen later stepped up for a fourth-quarter 10-yard rushing score to enhance an otherwise subdued fantasy day with the Commanders offering little resistance. Look for Allen and Buffalo's recent dominance to be tested versus the Miami Dolphins buzzsaw in Week 4.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (illness) confirmed that he played the Monday night win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers through flu-like symptoms. "Just us executing," Hurts said, describing what it took to gut it out. "It's not the first time I've dealt with this or had to play with something like this. And it always happens on Monday night for whatever reason." Despite Hurts and several other members of the team being under the weather, the Eagles offense put up 472 yards, led by running back D'Andre Swift (130 rushing yards) and receiver A.J. Brown (nine catches for 131 yards). Hurts had an up-and-down performance, throwing and rushing for a touchdown while also throwing a couple of interceptions.
