Who Should I Start? Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen

Saturday, November 15, 4:09 AM

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will take on the Denver Broncos on Sunday in Week 11. Mahomes has been the best quarterback in fantasy this season on a per-game basis and should be ready to compete coming out of the team's bye. The 30-year-old had his worst game of the season in Week 9 before the bye, completing just 44% of his passes while throwing an interception and scoring zero touchdowns in their loss to the Buffalo Bills. Despite having an extra week to rest and prepare, Mahomes could have a hard time getting back on track against the Broncos, who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. Divisional matchups also tend to be lower-scoring affairs given the familiarity between the teams, which could work against Mahomes having a ceiling performance this week. Mahomes is ranked QB7 in our RotoBaller rankings, making him a mid-range QB1 but with lower expectations than in other weeks.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 19 of his 30 pass attempts for 317 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also added six rushing attempts, 40 rushing yards, and three rushing touchdowns. Allen was highly efficient in Sunday's explosive outing, both in terms of scoring and yardage. The two turnovers did make his job slightly harder, but he certainly made up for it with the six touchdowns. He continues to be a spectacular, must-start fantasy option and will rank as a high-end QB1 heading into Week 12 against the Houston Texans.
