Josh Allen Still the 1.01 in Superflex Startups?

Wednesday, June 10, 7:02 AM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has finished the past six seasons as the QB1, the QB2, the QB1, the QB2, the QB1, and the QB1, and even as he enters his age-30 season, he has as strong a case as anyone to top the superflex dynasty rankings. At an age when most rushing quarterbacks face a durability-related decline, Allen has been able to sidestep such concerns with his 6'5", 237-pound frame. With the Bills trading for veteran receiver DJ Moore and spending a fourth-round pick on versatile playmaker Skyler Bell, an easy argument could be made that Allen now has the best core of receivers since Stefon Diggs was last in Buffalo in 2023. While it remains to be seen what Joe Brady's move from coordinator to head coach means for the offense, Allen already had untethered agency to run the unit as he sees fit, which has generally translated to unmatched fantasy upside.

Michael Penix Jr. Expects to be Cleared for 11-on-11 Work at Training Camp

Wednesday, June 17, 10:36 AM

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. (knee), who remains limited to seven-on-seven work at mandatory minicamp this week as he continues to rehab from a surgically repaired ACL, said that "the expectation" is for him to be ready for 11-on-11 team drills during training camp this summer, also he added that he'll need clearance from his doctor for that to happen, according to Will McFadden of the team's official website. McFadden writes that in anything movement-related, Penix has "looked sharp and shown no signs of discomfort." But the Falcons are taking a cautious approach with the former first-rounder. "Each and every day I'm trying to get better," Penix said after practice. "Doing whatever I can to help this team win football games, that's the ultimate goal." It sounds like Atlanta's true QB competition between Penix and Tua Tagovailoa won't come until Penix can do everything in training camp. The 26-year-old Penix is a major durability concern with a lengthy history of torn ACLs, and without a guaranteed starting job, his fantasy stock has fallen considerably heading into 2026 in both dynasty and redraft formats.
