Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Jarrett Stidham

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's practice, according to the team. Allen is listed with a right-elbow injury on the Week 13 injury report, but he should be fine to play this weekend against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 29-year-old had his left shoulder examined by trainers in last Thursday night's loss to the Houston Texans in a game in which he was constantly being hit and sacked by the No. 1 defense in the league. Allen was also seen shaking his right hand, but he assured us after the game that everything was fine. He scored a whopping six touchdowns (three passing, three rushing) in Week 11, but then laid an egg last week with zero touchdowns. He should be able to bounce back against Pittsburgh this weekend, but it sure would be nice if he could get tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) and receiver Keon Coleman back.

Denver Broncos quarterback Jarrett Stidham got the start in the team's second preseason game on Saturday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals and looked amazing, going 16-for-23 passing for 240 yards and two touchdowns in the 27-7 victory. Starter Bo Nix got this game off, so Stidham saw most of the action under center before giving way to Sam Ehlinger late. Rookie receiver Pat Bryant was one of Stidham's favorite targets, as he hooked up with him four times for 70 yards. Second-year pass-catcher Troy Franklin was his other favorite target, and both of his TDs went to the Oregon product. The 29-year-old Stidham signed a two-year, $12 million contract with Denver back in March to return as Nix's backup in 2025 and beyond. Based on the way Stidham looked on Saturday, Denver's offense could still be decent this year if Nix misses time with injury.
