Expert takes

Josh Allen
  • “Josh Allen averaged 21.6 passing points per game (standard scoring) across the first two weeks of the season. Over the last two, he’s been at 7.1.”

    The FF Newsletter· Oct 8, 2026
  • “Only Josh Allen has run hotter, and we saw Allen hit a spot of regression last week. The 49ers are stacking enough injuries to impact things, too. It sounds as if Trent Williams will be good for Sunday.”

    Rich Hribar· Sep 30, 2026
  • “LAC | DraftKings: $8,000/FanDuel: $9,100* It’s odd to say Josh Allen could be a contrarian play, but his rostership should come in very moderate this week. There’s a $500 difference between Allen and Lamar Jackson , and Jackson is in a high-volume matchup against Dallas, making him a popular play this week. Playing Allen doesn’t need much justification.”

    Tera Roberts· Sep 26, 2026

  • “Josh Allen should meet little resistance, and James Cook can gash them on the ground, too.”

    Josh Shepardson· Sep 24, 2026
  • “Bills Fantasy Quarterback Preview Josh Allen (TRUST) We could be seeing the best season of Allen's career, which is saying something. We are only two weeks in, so we will keep things in check, but Allen is averaging career-highs in touchdown rate (8.3%), yards per pass attempt (9.7), and yards per completion (14.6). The Bills are throwing more, and they are throwing it downfield, something we were betting on this offseason.”

    Rich Hribar· Sep 23, 2026
  • “Last Thursday, Allen ran in Buffalo’s first TD himself , then proceeded to spread the love to Joshua Palmer , Dawson Knox , and Dalton Kincaid before running in another TD himself for good measure. Only then did he finally hand it off to Cook for Buffalo’s sixth and final trip to the end zone. But this was ultimately the Josh Allen show, which is exactly why he lands among our overachievers this week.”

    Brooke Morgan· Sep 23, 2026
  • “Josh Allen remains a two-way scoring threat for the second straight week — 2 rushing TDs again. Another dual-threat scoring day (20-of-31 for 248, 3 TD passes, plus 14 carries for 69 yards with the aforementioned scores). Buffalo opened with a notable heavy package: three tight ends on the field to start.”

    Andrew Erickson· Sep 22, 2026
  • “Houston Texans Hot take alert: Josh Allen is good at football. The Bills quarterback supermanned his squad to a win over the vaunted Texans defense, creating big play after big play and frustrating an extremely talented unit on the other side. Offseason acquisition D.J.”

    Ethan Woodie· Sep 15, 2026
  • “Josh Allen led Buffalo to a 36-31 victory on the road against Houston, finally able to shake the monkey from his back at Reliant Stadium. A 34-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Palmer with 1:36 remaining in the game proved to be the decisive score and the cherry on top of Allen’s four-touchdown masterpiece. Houston’s typically stingy defense surrendered 334 passing yards and was unable to contain Allen on the ground as a runner, allowing him to score two rushing touchdowns.”

    Evan Tarracciano· Sep 14, 2026
  • “BUF @ HOU (BUF-1.5, O/U 44.5) Josh Allen ranks as the Ballers consensus QB9 behind some names that may be on your waiver wire. However, the Ballers recommend starting Allen over names like Stafford and Goff, who rank above him this week. DJ Moore ranks as a potential FLEX play, but lower your expectations against Houston’s defense.”

    Jordan Pullett· Sep 12, 2026
  • “1 — Josh Allen , Buffalo Bills Allen is a model of consistency. In two of the last three years, his adjusted completion rate was above 76 percent. His big-time throw rate went from 6.1 percent in 2023 to 7.0 percent in 2024 to 5.1 percent in 2025, all while keeping his turnover-worthy play rate below three percent.”

    Ethan Woodie· Sep 11, 2026
  • “Josh Allen is always startable, but temper expectations slightly. The Rams play the 49ers in East Melbourne on Thursday night (Netflix), a marquee international matchup between two top-10 offenses. Both SF (+0.09) and LA (+0.14) have the firepower to put up big numbers – your Rams and 49ers skill players are strong plays.”

    Samuel DiSorbo· Sep 10, 2026
  • “Patrick Mahomes has led the league in passing yards once, and Josh Allen has yet to do it at all.”

    Curtis Hirsch· Aug 31, 2026
Chase Brown
  • “Favorite Stack: Burrow, Chase, Higgins, and Chase Brown are scattered throughout the articles this week, so this is where I want to lean into the stance instead of pretending those plays are independent. The fact that this game is Andy’s Almost Upset of the Week scares me more than it did a few days ago, but I still like the combo. Tee Higgins is due for a 20+ yard TD.”

    Chris Cash· Sep 26, 2026
  • “Chase Brown | $6,600 | @ PIT Brown has already handled 36 carries and eight receptions, including 23 touches last week against HOU (see, go get em, Jonathan Taylor ). PIT has allowed 256 rushing yards through two games at 4.3 yards per carry, so this matchup is juicy. Projection : 16.79 DK points at 10.35% pOwn, with a 27-point ceiling.”

    Chris Cash· Sep 25, 2026
  • “Chase Brown posted a 72% snap share, matching a true bell-cow workload — team-high 16 carries, including a designed goal-line touchdown, plus 5 catches on 6 targets.”

    Andrew Erickson· Sep 16, 2026

  • “On the other side of the ball, Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase , Higgins, and Chase Brown are all easy starts for the Ballers.”

    Jordan Pullett· Sep 12, 2026
  • “TB | DraftKings: $7,100/FanDuel: $7,500 Chase Brown is a workhorse running back in an elite offense. You can go with Jahmyr Gibbs here, too, but I prefer to save a bit of salary with Brown. The Bengals face the Buccaneers in a projected shootout, as highlighted by the game’s 50.5-point total.”

    Frank Ammirante· Sep 12, 2026
  • “Chase Brown ( CIN) : ADP 13.6 | RB 8 After a quiet rookie season, Brown has turned into a fantasy star.”

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 31, 2026
  • “2026 NFL Overs: Best Running Back Prop Bets David Montgomery — Over 825.5 Rushing Yards (-114) David Montgomery — Over 7.5 Rushing Touchdowns (-102) Chase Brown — Over 824.5 Rushing Yards (-110) Chase Brown — Over 5.5 Rushing Touchdowns (-125) 2026 NFL Longshot Running Back Prop Bets David Montgomery Touchdown Ladder 10+ Touchdowns (+195) 12+ Touchdowns (+350) 15+ Touchdowns (+800) Chase Brown Rushing Ladder 1000+ Rushing Yards (+210) 1250+ Rushing Yards (+550) 1500+ Rushing Yards (+1700) Fantasy football projections, like those done by Rich Hribar , can be a guide to help identify overvalued or undervalued players in the current betting markets.”

    Curtis Hirsch· Aug 11, 2026
  • “I don’t think any other running back is set up as well as Chase Brown is this season. The London, Ontario native is primed for his third straight top-12 season.”

    Ellis Johnson· Aug 11, 2026
  • “Chase Brown (RB – CIN) has real top-three overall ceiling that isn’t being discussed enough.”

    FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10, 2026
  • “Chase Brown is expected to play an important role in a highly functioning offense that could finish as one of the top-scoring teams in 2026. Brown is a pass-catching back who adds a vast amount of value due to his high reception rate, and dual threat in regards to touchdowns (11 total) . The running back for the Bengals caught 69 receptions for 437 yards.”
