Latest takes

Josh Allen
  • Knowing when to start Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson to maximize their potential fantasy production becomes a season-long planning exercise. Do you start Ja’Marr Chase against Miami in Week 5?

    Raju Byfield· Aug 25
  • DJ Moore (WR – BUF) | ADP: 53.2 ( WR 23) After years of dealing with subpar quarterbacks, DJ Moore gets to play with Josh Allen in 2026. He has been productive, averaging 14+ PPR fantasy points per game in five out of seven seasons since his rookie campaign, despite never being an elite touchdown scorer.

    Mike Fanelli· Aug 25
  • Ward’s rough rookie year came in a barren offense, and Tennessee overhauled it, adding Carnell Tate and Wan’Dale Robinson and, crucially, quarterback whisperer Brian Daboll, whose track record with Josh Allen , Daniel Jones , and Jaxson Dart is exactly the profile you want betting on a second-year leap. Cheap, and trending up.

  • 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
Josh Jacobs
  • Josh Jacobs ‘ 2026 outlook is murky at best right now, with a possible suspension looming.

  • Josh Jacobs is one of the easiest running backs to target on Fantrax if he slips to his ADP of 40. At a 32 ADP on FantasyPros, that is eight picks later than other sites. Jacobs has already demonstrated a high-end fantasy ceiling and a true workhorse role in Green Bay.

    Ryan Kirksey· Aug 24
  • Round 14: MarShawn Lloyd (RB – GB) A possible Josh Jacobs suspension looms, so why not snag his backup just in case?

See 12 more
  • Round 13: MarShawn Lloyd (RB – GB) Josh Jacobs could still be suspended by the NFL, allowing MarShawn Lloyd a chance to get on the field.

  • Lloyd rattled off the following numbers in 11 games in his final collegiate season at USC in 2023: 10.5 rush attempts per game 74.2 rushing yards per game 7.1 yards per carry 3.97 yards after contact per attempt (YCO/A) 9 rushing touchdowns 1.6 targets per game 0.09 TPRR 1.2 receptions per game 21.1 receiving yards per game 1.22 YPRR Lloyd is a dynamic player when healthy and should be Josh Jacobs ‘ primary backup running back.

  • RB expected to be sidelined at least one week HC Matt LaFleur on Josh Jacobs : "He's gonna be out for at least this week." ( Packers.com - Wes Hodkiewicz ) FF Today's Take: Jacobs reportedly injured his groin on Monday or Tuesday.

    FFToday· Aug 12
  • If healthy, Jacobs has a top-5 fantasy ceiling. But as the 28-year-old continues to pile up volume and small injuries, fantasy managers should be wary of the production tapering off.

  • Josh Jacobs (RB – GB) Going as the RB14, 21st overall, Jacobs is projected for 289 carries, 1,161 rushing yards, and 12 rushing touchdowns, plus another 36 catches and roughly one receiving touchdown. Health was the story that took some shine off last season, as a knee bruise and thigh injury limited him over the second half.

  • Josh Jacobs was involved in an offseason domestic incident that is reportedly still under investigation, though no charges have been filed.

  • Round 6: Josh Jacobs (RB – GB) I’m a bit skeptical of Josh Jacobs because of his off-the-field issues, but if he’s on the field, he’ll get plenty of carries and catch around 40 passes.

  • 1 | Diff: +5 Josh Jacobs has been the RB8 and RB9 in fantasy points per game during his two seasons in Green Bay.

  • 31 10 21 James Cook 13 5 8 Josh Jacobs 7 15 -8 Saquon Barkley 2 13 -11 Bucky Irving 10 33 -23 In past years, so many top RBs have gotten hurt that the Zero (or hero) RB draft strategies have become popular.

  • Running Back For the RB1 cutoff, one analyst goes as deep as Josh Jacobs around RB15, while the other draws the line one tier earlier at Derrick Henry.

  • Josh Jacobs (RB – GB) Josh Jacobs finds himself in a similar situation to Saquon Barkley, but for very different reasons. Unlike Barkley, who has a new offensive coordinator and is on a team primed to bounce back from top to bottom, Jacobs finds himself in a very similar situation to last season.

    Ellis Johnson· Jul 17
  • The swift decline in Josh Jacobs' market value has everything to do with the legal cloud hanging over him. He was arrested in late May on domestic violence allegations. While he was later released, prosecutors say the investigation is still ongoing.
