Latest takes

Josh Allen
  • 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.

  • Josh Allen is once again the consensus QB1 in fantasy. He finished QB1 in fantasy scoring last season for the fourth time in the last six years. After down years from Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts , the gap between Allen and other fantasy QBs seems to have widened.

  • There is hope that a healthy Kincaid can live up to the hype that he has carried since entering the league as a first-round pick in the NFL Draft and be an elite TE option in an offense with Josh Allen .

    Kurt Mullen· Jul 29
  • With the first pick in the draft, Mike takes what feels like an obvious choice of Josh Allen, who has finished as the QB1 overall in four of the last six seasons.

    Kurt Mullen· Jul 29
  • The most obvious thing to consider is your positional strengths and weaknesses — trading for Lamar Jackson when you already have Josh Allen probably isn’t a good idea.

    Ted Chmyz· Jul 26
  • The counter to this would be that Josh Allen is coming off his lowest passing yardage total since 2019 (3,668), and hasn’t thrown for more than 30 touchdowns in the last three seasons.

    Tom Strachan· Jul 25
  • Josh Allen’s 0.8 points per game above QB2 in 2025 was the lowest QB1 to QB2 gap since 2022, when QB1 and QB2 tied atop the ranks.

    Jeff Krisko· Jul 23
  • Skyler Bell is headed to Buffalo to catch passes from Josh Allen after being selected in the fourth round of the NFL Draft.

  • When I say avoid Josh Allen, this is purely a fade at his ADP. He’s definitely the best quarterback to have for fantasy, but his 33rd overall ADP leaves so much value on the board around that spot.

  • Ever since Diggs left, we have been chasing the upside of Josh Allen ‘s WR1.

    Matthew Betz· Jul 19
  • Allen rushed for 14 touchdowns, his third straight year with at least 12 rushing touchdowns. He was second in fantasy points scored inside the red zone in 2025 (148.7). Allen has ranked first or second among all position players in fantasy points inside the red zone for five consecutive seasons.

    Rich Hribar· Jul 9
  • No player has a track record of pushing the top of positional scoring more consistently than Allen. Since 2020, Allen has finished as the QB1, QB1, QB2, QB1, QB2, and QB1 in overall quarterback scoring.

    Rich Hribar· Jul 9
  • Allen has a late-third-round ADP. He's being drafted just ahead of Ladd McConkey.

  • Bills QB Josh Allen is an amazing football player and a time-tested fantasy asset. But drafting McBride in the second round and Allen is a recipe for disaster.

Jahmyr Gibbs
  • Jahmyr Gibbs (WR – DET) Another young running back who has seen things clear out behind him is Jahmyr Gibbs, who saw David Montgomery move on, and only Isiah Pacheco was brought in.

    Tom Strachan· Aug 9
  • Jahmyr Gibbs averaged 21.7 PPG last year on 17.8 xFP, despite the presence of David Montgomery and his 9.3 xFP. That’s a remarkably impressive result, given it wasn’t a particularly impressive year for the Lions or for Gibbs as a rusher. I view the downgrade from David Montgomery — a serviceable player who was also a cultural leader — to Isiah Pacheco as steep, and far wider than the drop off from Tyler Allgeier to Brian Robinson .

  • Andy’s pick at the 1.01 is fairly straightforward with Jahmyr Gibbs . Gibbs presents tremendous upside in an offense that fantasy managers have grown to trust with one of the best schedules in the league.

  • 4 | Diff: +4 Isiah Pacheco lands with the Lions as the change-of-pace back/handcuff for Jahmyr Gibbs .

  • The RB1 Debate The Bijan Robinson vs Jahmyr Gibbs debate has been discussed multiple times on recent shows, but the consensus is that both RBs are clearly above the rest of the field.

  • Top-12 Drafted RBs in 2025 RB 2025 ADP 2024 Finish 2025 Games Played Bijan Robinson RB1 RB3 17 Saquon Barkley RB2 RB13 16 Jahmyr Gibbs RB3 RB4 17 Christian McCaffrey RB4 RB1 17 Derrick Henry RB5 RB7 17 Ashton Jeanty RB6 RB12 17 Josh Jacobs RB7 RB15 15 De’Von Achane RB8 RB6 16 Jonathan Taylor RB9 RB2 17 Bucky Irving RB10 RB33 10 Chase Brown RB11 RB8 17 Kyren Williams RB12 RB9 17 2025 RB Health Last season, nine out of 12 top RBs drafted finished as an RB1, resulting in a mostly chalky season at the top for RBs.

  • In a standard league, getting a running back such as Jahmyr Gibbs, who will handle well over 200 carries and catch the ball a bunch, was a no-brainer after Bijan Robinson went off the board.

  • Overvalued: Nobody? The Detroit Lions are an interesting case, because everyone is pretty much where they should be: Jahmyr Gibbs is a top-two pick, Amon-Ra St. Brown is a fringe first-rounder, Jameson Williams is a WR2, and Sam LaPorta is a backend TE1 (and Jared Goff goes too late).

    Jeff Krisko· Jul 27
  • Players such as Christian McCaffrey , Jahmyr Gibbs , Bijan Robinson and De’Von Achane all cleared 60 receptions last season. They produce in every phase of the game.

  • Nor is giving up Jahmyr Gibbs if it will leave you without a viable RB2.

    Ted Chmyz· Jul 26
  • Having said that, the days of Gibbs being part of a true running back committee are expected to be over.

    Steve Krebs· Jul 23
  • The No. 1 overall player based on PlayerProfiler’s Lifetime Value Metric is Jahmyr Gibbs with a value of 392.9. In case you were wondering, Bijan Robinson is second with 373.30.

  • The big news of the Lions offseason was in the RB room. RB David Montgomery was traded to the Houston Texans, and the Lions acquired Isiah Pacheco from the Kansas City Chiefs . Jahmyr Gibbs remains.

    Maggie Thraen· Jul 19
  • Much of that is due to exciting new players like Gibbs, who made his third straight Pro Bowl in 2025 and asserted his grip on the Detroit backfield. He flirted with 2,000 yards from scrimmage for the second straight season and scored 18 total touchdowns. Gibbs is both a talented runner and receiver, and thanks to his game-breaking speed he is a legitimate threat to score a touchdown every time he touches the football.

    Logan Ulrich· Jul 19
