Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Kenny Pickett

Friday, September 29, 3:25 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen didn't need to do much in last Sunday's 37-3 rout of the Washington Commanders, but that's likely to change in Week 4 versus the Miami Dolphins. The 27-year-old aims to pick apart Dolphins defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's zone-heavy defense, which may not activate Allen's lacking rushing opportunity thus far. Allen has electrified against the Fins in 10 career games, boasting a 106.1 passer rating and 27:5 TD:INT with 55.4 rushing yards per game. Buffalo hasn't played at a high pace yet this year, but that could change in a hurry if they want to keep up with Miami's furious offense. Allen does rank first in interceptable passes (10), per PlayerProfiler, so he carries plenty of weekly turnover risk. Still, we should feel pretty good about the two-time Pro Bowler as a top-line QB1 in a game with the slate's highest implied point total by far.

Quarterback Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers head to Houston in Week 4 to take on the Texans. In the first three weeks of the 2023 season, Pickett is averaging 229.7 passing yards per game and is completing just under 60% of his passes. After a couple of tough matchups to start the season against the 49ers and Browns, Pickett drew a softer matchup against the Raiders in Week 3, but could still only manage a season-high 235 yards against them. The Texans' defense has not performed well this season but has still limited opposing quarterbacks to 228 passing yards per game and has allowed only two passing touchdowns so far. Pickett is not relevant for fantasy purposes in Week 4.
