Who Should I Start? Sam Darnold or Josh Allen

Friday, October 25, 9:36 AM

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold started out hot, but he cooled off after the first few drives. Darnold threw touchdowns on back-to-back drives to open the game, but didn't have a ton of success after that. He completed 18-of-25 passing attempts for 240 yards and two scores in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Darnold now has thrown for 1,610 yards with 14 touchdowns and five interceptions through seven games. He hasn't been lighting up the box score lately, but he doesn't make silly mistakes with the football. Fantasy managers should be able to keep riding him as a QB1 for next week's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 24 of 34 pass attempts for 283 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in the team's 31-10 victory over the Seattle Seahawks. He also added seven carries for 25 yards. Outside of his first interception of the season, Allen was in complete command of the offense. He led a 90-yard drive, capped by a two-yard touchdown reception by Keon Coleman, on Buffalo's first possession and the Bills never relinquished the lead. Allen's second touchdown pass came on a 12-yard strike to tight end Dalton Kincaid just before halftime. The 28-year-old was just inside QB1 range before Sunday and Monday Night Football. The Bills host the Miami Dolphins in Week 9.
