Latest takes

Josh Allen
  • With Josh Allen carrying the way as my QB1, Shough will be a nice Superflex option.

  • 1 spot in a Superflex draft, I couldn’t pass up Josh Allen.

  • The talent pool is so deep that it’s not worth sacrificing the chance to draft a top-20 running back or receiver for the chance to take Josh Allen , the consensus QB1.

  • Leaving a crowded receiver room in Chicago for Buffalo in the offseason, Moore becomes the de facto first read for Josh Allen on all passing plays.

  • In fact, he and Josh Allen are the only two QBs to have 300 fantasy points in each of the last two seasons.

    Ellis Johnson· Aug 19
  • Josh Allen should be the undisputed QB1, but the weekly scoring gap at the position is very narrow. Last season, the difference between Allen, the QB1, and Daniel Jones , the QB18, was only four fantasy points per game. With the position so deep, this further strengthens the case for a late-round quarterback strategy in 2026.

    Kyle Zeigler· Aug 18
  • While there are five quarterbacks in this tier, Allen stands clearly ahead of the rest. The superstar has finished as a top-five quarterback in six consecutive seasons despite not having a go-to No. 1 wide receiver since the Bills traded away Stefon Diggs.

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 16
  • Bills QB Josh Allen is an amazing football player and a time-tested fantasy asset.

  • Josh Allen is microwave popcorn because when he gets hot, he absolutely pops off. One explosive play turns into another, the TDs start piling up, and suddenly you are staring at a fantasy score that felt impossible just a few quarters ago.

    Brooke Morgan· Aug 12
  • There’s no doubt that quarterbacks like Allen, Jackson, Drake Maye, and more should score more, but drafting any in the first few rounds is a bad idea.

  • Most notably, he oversaw the development of Josh Allen as Offensive Coordinator in Buffalo from 2018 through 2021.

    Kyle Lesti· Aug 11
  • The Sharp Football Analysis projections are aggressive in factoring in increased passing from Allen and are well above the Vegas passing yards total. ESPN’s publicly available projections have a moderate increase in passing attempts and yardage from last year and are still more than 300 yards over the passing total.

    Curtis Hirsch· Aug 10
  • Since the start of 2022, Allen is second in EPA per play and has finished among the top four quarterbacks in EPA per play in every single year.

    Curtis Hirsch· Aug 10
  • Josh Allen , Patrick Mahomes , Brock Purdy , Dak Prescott , and Jared Goff were the only quarterbacks selected as top-12 players who were also top 12 in points per game.

    Rich Hribar· Aug 5
  • Josh Allen 2026 Over/Under Predictions The Buffalo offense played at the league's slowest pace and ran the ball at the second-highest rate last season, which seems very counterintuitive for a team with Josh Allen at quarterback.

Emeka Egbuka
  • Round 7: Emeka Egbuka (WR – TB) While he’ll compete with Chris Godwin for targets, Emeka Egbuka is who I’d consider to be the No.

  • Wide Receivers Emeka Egbuka (WR – TB) I’m hardly alone in expressing my optimism for a breakout campaign from Emeka Egbuka.

  • Take Emeka Egbuka , for example. His hot start last season will prove difficult to replicate. He plays 3 top-5 defenses against fantasy wideouts in the first 3 weeks of the season.

  • If health holds, his profile projects closer to a WR1 finish than his WR22 price tag suggests.” – Jacob Piccolo ( TrueRGM ) Emeka Egbuka (WR – TB) “ Emeka Egbuka already showed us that he has the ability to produce in the most elite way.

  • Emeka Egbuka (WR – TB) offers real top-five receiver upside if his hot start from last season extends across a full year, positioned as his team’s clear top receiver under a new offensive coordinator as long as the starting quarterback stays healthy.

  • While fantasy players should be excited about Emeka Egbuka , don’t forget about McMillan. Unfortunately, the former Washington star only played in the final four contests last season because of injury, averaging 7.5 PPR fantasy points per game.

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 9
  • Emeka Egbuka ‘s rookie season was a rollercoaster, but the underlying usage points toward a major Year 2 breakout in Tampa Bay. The former Ohio State standout earned elite target volume for a rookie and looked like a future star early in the season before injuries and shifting usage slowed his momentum late in the year (top-10 WR from Weeks 1-11). With Mike Evans gone, Egbuka is positioned for a much larger role in Zac Robinson’s offense.

  • Emeka Egbuka (WR – TB) Going as the WR18, 41st overall, the projections actually rate Egbuka even higher than that price suggests, stepping into a departed veteran’s role. His first six games last year came without two more established teammates healthy, and after that, the entire offense played through injuries for the rest of the season, muddying a clear read on his true talent level.

  • While fantasy players should be excited about Emeka Egbuka , don’t forget about McMillan

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 6
  • With Mike Evans gone, Egbuka is positioned for a much larger role in Zac Robinson’s offense. He is one of the more appealing second-year breakout WR candidates in fantasy football.

  • For WR2, the lines are Terry McLaurin and Emeka Egbuka.

  • Emeka Egbuka exploded onto the scene in the first half of the 2025 season. The rookie WR capitalized on the opportunity left by the injured Mike Evans and finished as the WR 20.

  • More importantly, he has been dominant on a very successful Ohio State offense while playing alongside two first-round picks, Emeka Egbuka and Carnell Tate .
