Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Jayden Daniels

Saturday, October 4, 5:34 AM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen continues to justify his elite fantasy status, entering Week 5 as the top-scoring player at his position. Allen has been electric through the air and on the ground, and he'll look to keep rolling in Sunday's matchup against the division rival New England Patriots. While New England's defense could provide a stiffer test than some of Allen's previous opponents, his dual-threat ability and chemistry with tight end Dalton Kincaid make him nearly matchup-proof. The duo's growing red zone connection has been a major boost for fantasy managers, and Allen remains an automatic QB1 start in all formats. Expect another strong outing from one of the game's premier fantasy weapons.

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (knee) practiced in full every day this week and will return as the starter in Week 5 against the Chargers. Daniels banged up his knee in Washington's Week 2 loss at Green Bay and missed the following two weeks, where veteran Marcus Mariota filled in admirably. Daniels will be without his top two outside receivers as Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Noah Brown (groin) are both ruled out again for Sunday's game. And Daniels will reportedly be wearing a brace on his injured knee, perhaps limiting how often he runs. The star second-year quarterback faces a tough matchup in his return to play, facing a Los Angeles Chargers defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest total points scored and third-fewest yards allowed. Daniels still ranks as a solid QB1 for Week 5.
