Who Should I Start? Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen

Saturday, October 4, 8:14 PM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was listed on the injury report with a groin injury this week, but practiced fully and does not have an injury designation heading into Monday night. The Chiefs will take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night in Week 5. Mahomes completed 25 of 37 pass attempts (68%) for 270 yards and four touchdowns in last week's win against the Baltimore Ravens. His Week 4 performance was easily his best of the season as a passer, reaching new season-highs in completions, completion percentage, passing yards, and passing touchdowns. The 29-year-old will look to build on that impressive performance against the Jaguars, who are middle-of-the-pack in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks this season. The Kansas City superstar's best game of the year coincided with the return of Xavier Worthy, so maybe the duo can keep the good times rolling in a game with the sixth-highest total this week. Mahomes is ranked QB2 in our RotoBalller rankings, making him a must-start QB1 this week.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen continues to justify his elite fantasy status, entering Week 5 as the top-scoring player at his position. Allen has been electric through the air and on the ground, and he'll look to keep rolling in Sunday's matchup against the division rival New England Patriots. While New England's defense could provide a stiffer test than some of Allen's previous opponents, his dual-threat ability and chemistry with tight end Dalton Kincaid make him nearly matchup-proof. The duo's growing red zone connection has been a major boost for fantasy managers, and Allen remains an automatic QB1 start in all formats. Expect another strong outing from one of the game's premier fantasy weapons.
