Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Mason Rudolph

Saturday, November 15, 12:12 PM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen attempted 40 passes and topped 300 passing yards for just the second time this season in his team's ugly Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. Allen and the rest of the Bills will be looking to make up for last week's performance in Week 11 when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Through 10 weeks in 2025, Tampa Bay has been a favorable matchup for opposing passing attacks. The Bucs defense is a bottom-10 unit in terms of yards allowed per pass attempt (7.4). Tampa Bay has also generally been fairly stout against the run, which could force the Bills to turn to the air more often than they would typically like. If there's one area of concern for Allen's fantasy outlook, it's that he will be without one of his top receiving weapons in tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring). Still, Allen is a must-start fantasy quarterback in all league formats in Week 11.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph completed six of his eight pass attempts for 36 scoreless yards and an interception in Thursday night's 19-10 preseason win over the Carolina Panthers. Rudolph took the field for the team's first three offensive possessions and could not get much of anything going. The Steelers punted twice in the first quarter before Rudolph opened the second period with an ill-advised throw to Ke'Shawn Williams that Carolina picked off. Rudolph's brief showing was quickly outshined by teammate Skylar Thompson, who led Pittsburgh on three straight scoring drives. Nonetheless, the 30-year-old Rudolph should be expected to maintain QB2 duties heading into the regular season as the most experienced backup on the roster, especially if rookie Will Howard (finger) is placed on IR.
