Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson

Monday, September 8, 9:15 AM

Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen threw on his Superman cape last night as he led the Bills to a come-from-behind win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football, 41-40, leading a drive with a minute and 26 seconds on the clock to get into field goal range and hit a walk-off field goal as time expired. Allen led the charge on Sunday in true leader fashion, going 33 of 46 for 394 yards and two passing touchdowns, while also adding 30 yards on the ground over 14 carries with two rushing touchdowns. Allen spread the wealth last night, targeting Keon Coleman 11 times, Khalil Shakir and Josh Palmer nine times, James Cook five times, and Dalton Kincaid four times. Essentially, Allen made every playmaker on the Bills offense a viable fantasy option last night. The 2024 MVP is picking up right where he left off last year, proving to everyone in a prime-time game why the Bills are serious contenders and why he won the MVP last season. He remains a high-end QB1 that fantasy managers can rely on a week-to-week basis.

Baltimore Ravens superstar Lamar Jackson played phenomenally on Sunday night against the Buffalo Bills, completing 14 of 19 passes for 209 yards, two passing touchdowns, and adding 70 yards on the ground on six rushing attempts and a rushing touchdown. Unfortunately for the Ravens, it wasn't enough to walk away with the victory as the Bills came from behind to win 41-40 in what was an epic battle of two AFC contenders. If Derrick Henry hadn't broken off long runs all night and totaled 169 rushing yards, Jackson's evening could have been more productive. A handful of the Ravens' drives were just three or four-play drives where Henry scored on 30-plus-yard touchdown runs. Regardless, Jackson remains a high-end QB1 for fantasy managers, and those who paid a premium to get him are already reaping the rewards. Next up for Jackson is a home game against the Cleveland Browns, where he remains a top option at the QB position.
