Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Josh Allen

Friday, October 31, 11:35 AM

The Athletic's Josh Kendall reports that the Atlanta Falcons have yet to have "any serious trade discussions with another team," regarding quarterback Kirk Cousins ahead of next Tuesday's trade deadline. Cousins has been the speculation of quarterback-needy teams, although his recent performance in a blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins likely didn't help his case. As it stands, Atlanta is likely to hold both the veteran and second-year pro Michael Penix Jr. (knee). However, Kendall notes that doesn't mean Cousins is a long-term fit for the team. He figures to resume backup duties behind Penix Jr. once the latter is fully recovered from his knee injury. That's likely to change following the 2025 season.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 28 of his 40 pass attempts for 306 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 10 loss against the Miami Dolphins. He also rushed for 31 yards, took three sacks, and lost a fumble. The loss and two turnovers are a major blemish on Allen's 2025 statistics, but he offered his fantasy managers some relief with two touchdowns and over 300 yards. For the most part, managers won't care whether the Bills win or lose, as long as their quarterback continues to post solid fantasy performances. Nevertheless, he'll look to clean things up ahead of Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Allen should still be trusted as a strong QB1 in fantasy football.
