Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Justin Fields

Saturday, December 27, 10:09 AM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (foot) is off the injury report and is good to go in Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Allen injured his foot in the first half of Week 16's win over the Cleveland Browns but practiced all week and has no injury designation in Week 17. The reigning MVP is coming off his worst fantasy performance since 2018, totaling 130 passing yards and 17 rushing yards. Allen will look to bounce back against an Eagles defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. However, Allen's dominance at home has been well demonstrated this season, as he's averaged 30.8 fantasy points per game in the seven contests they've played in Buffalo. With them chasing the Patriots for the AFC East title, Allen should be viewed as a top-end QB1 in Week 17.

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn announced on Tuesday that quarterback Justin Fields (knee) will be placed on Injured Reserve, ending his 2025 season. Fields will be shut down for the final two games of the season after already missing each of the last three contests due to a knee injury. Before the 26-year-old injured his knee, he had been benched in favor of veteran Tyrod Taylor. It was an extremely disappointing 2025 campaign for Fields, who was brought in as a free agent last offseason to be the Jets' starter this year. Fields ended up making only nine starts, completing 62.7% of his 204 pass attempts for 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception. He ran for 383 yards and four touchdowns on 71 attempts while also losing three fumbles. If he remains with the Jets in 2026, Fields will have to show lots of improvement to be in contention to win the starting gig back.
