Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Kyler Murray

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (foot) recently underwent foot surgery to repair a broken bone in his right foot. Despite suffering the injury in Week 16, Allen finished the 2025 season without missing a game and is expected to recover long before the start of 2026. The 29-year-old posted another excellent campaign in 2025, completing a career-high 69.3% of his pass attempts for 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. Allen also remains one of the NFL's best rushing quarterbacks, as he logged 579 yards and 14 touchdowns with his legs, his third straight season with at least 500 rushing yards and 12 rushing scores. Provided he can make a full recovery from his current foot injury, there's little reason to think Allen will slow down heading into his age-30 season in 2026. The Bills also appear likely to prioritize adding pass-catching help around Allen over the offseason after the team's wide receiver corps underperformed throughout this most recent year. Allen remains an elite fantasy quarterback option in both redraft and dynasty formats heading into 2026.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) and his camp "would prefer" that the team cut him so that he can enter free agency, a league source told Ralph Vacchiano and Henry McKenna of FOX Sports. Murray and his representation are expected to meet this week in Indianapolis during the NFL's scouting combine, but they don't expect an answer on his future with the organization. Even though he didn't play in 2025 after suffering a foot injury in Week 5, the 28-year-old signal-caller should be one of the most coveted QBs on the open market. According to a team source, the Cardinals have grown "frustrated" with Murray, and there continue to be questions about his work ethic. Additionally, Arizona is worried Murray will never reach the level of play he had before his ACL tear in 2022, especially after he suffered a sprained foot last season that cost him 12 games. His mobility is "shot," according to a source, and fantasy managers should be pretty concerned about that, too, since most of Murray's appeal comes from his mobility and athleticism outside of the pocket. Arizona prefers to trade him, as he still has two years left on his five-year, $230 million contract.
