Who Should I Start? Josh Allen or Trey Lance

Saturday, March 28, 6:59 AM

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a second straight season of under 4,000 passing yards in 2025, but he more than made up for it with his rushing prowess to finish as the QB1 in fantasy football. In 17 regular-season starts, the 29-year-old four-time Pro Bowler and former MVP threw for 3,668 yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions while adding 112 rushing attempts for a league-high 579 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns on the ground. The next closest QB in rushing TDs, Jalen Hurts, had only eight. Allen had surgery to fix a broken bone in his right foot in late January, but he should be all systems go in time for the start of the 2026 regular season this fall, and he should be the first quarterback off the board early in fantasy drafts. Allen's passing numbers leave plenty to be desired, but he could be more efficient through the air next season after the addition of receiver DJ Moore, who was acquired from the Chicago Bears. Allen's rushing upside is what puts him above the rest of the QBs in the league. He has over 100 carries in all but one of his eight NFL seasons, and that was his rookie year in 2018, when he had 89 rushing attempts.
