Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Justin Fields

Saturday, December 13, 5:14 AM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen enters Week 15 in elite form after posting 944 passing yards with seven touchdowns across his last four games while adding 176 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns on the ground. The 29-year-old has been particularly dangerous in the red zone, accounting for 12 total touchdowns over the past month. Allen faces a Patriots defense that ranks middle-tier against opposing quarterbacks, allowing 220 passing yards per game and 23 touchdown passes through 14 games. The Bills' receiving corps has stabilized around Khalil Shakir, Gabe Davis, and Tyrell Shavers, with Dalton Kincaid expected back from his month-long absence. The matchup at Gillette Stadium sets up favorably for Allen's aggressive downfield approach, as New England's secondary has generated just six interceptions this season. Allen's dual-threat upside, combined with consistent volume, makes him a must-start, ranking as RotoBaller's QB1 for Week 15.

New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (knee) has been ruled out for the second straight week when the team travels to Jacksonville to take on the Jaguars this Sunday, according to the New York Post's Brian Costello. Veteran QB Tyrod Taylor (groin) will also sit out, leaving rookie Brady Cook to make his first career start in Week 15. Cook will have one fewer weapon to work with on offense, with the Jets also ruling out rookie tight end Mason Taylor (neck). The 26-year-old Fields' disappointing first season in the Big Apple continues. Fields took care of the football, but he didn't do much else in nine starts for Gang Green this year before being benched for Taylor. In his nine games, Fields completed only 62.7% of his 204 pass attempts for 1,259 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception. He added 383 rushing yards and four scores on 71 carries. It's unclear if he'll have a chance to start any of the final three games of the season.
