Latest takes
“With Josh Allen carrying the way as my QB1, Shough will be a nice Superflex option.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 22“1 spot in a Superflex draft, I couldn’t pass up Josh Allen.”
Richard Janvrin· Aug 22“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.”
Evan Tarracciano· Aug 19“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.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 15“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.”
Wyatt Bertolone· Aug 12“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.”
Curtis Hirsch· Aug 5
“Zay Flowers dominated Baltimore’s passing game in 2025 and remains Lamar Jackson’s most trusted target.”
Lawrence Iacona· Aug 19“Zay Flowers (WR – BAL) “ Zay Flowers is being drafted as WR17, which is a bit of a head scratcher considering he finished as WR12 in PPG for receivers that played more than half the year (WR14 if not).”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 11“Flowers posted 86 catches, 1,211 yards, and six total touchdowns last year despite playing for a team that threw the fewest passes in the league over the last three years.”

“Zay Flowers (WR – BAL) is set up for touchdown regression in the best way. Every other receiver who topped 1,200 receiving yards last year scored at least eight touchdowns except him.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 10“Zay Flowers is a popular target of the fantasy community due to his ability to separate from defenders, along with Declan Doyle’s new offense. Camp reports have been extremely positive, with a lot of talk that Flowers will be the absolute focal point of this Ravens’ passing game.”
Frank Ammirante· Aug 9“There’s a world where Zay Flowers has the talent to be a top-5 fantasy WR if he can ever score TDs.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 9“Isaiah Likely is gone, and I don’t think Ja’Kobi Lane or Elijah Sarratt provide the level of incentive to keep me off of drafting the guy who has been the other boundary target next to Zay Flowers for years now.”
Tony Martin· Jul 30“The Fantasy Hitman grabbed his beloved Zay Flowers to be his WR2.”
Kurt Mullen· Jul 29“The Ballers really like Zay Flowers , who will serve as the primary pre-snap chess piece operating from the Z-receiver spot. This alignment keeps him off the line of scrimmage to dodge press coverage while creating misdirection.”
Vernon Meighan· Jul 27“The Declan Doyle addition makes me more bullish on Flowers, who was the entire Ravens’ passing game last season.”
Jeff Krisko· Jul 23“Yet, Zay Flowers’ role as the clear-cut No. 1 option in the passing game remains unchallenged.”
Mike Fanelli· Jul 18“Zay Flowers (WR – BAL) My rank – WR19, 45th overall ADP – WR22, 60th overall The Zay Flowers propaganda is making its way around the Redraft streets, but it doesn’t appear the dynasty community is quite as bullish. Well, I’m buying the hype on Flowers.”
Jim Moorman· Jul 17“Flowers is just as electric as she was billed coming out of college. He's been Lamar Jackson's No. 1 receiver since the day he was drafted, and at times he's been Jackson's only noteworthy receiver.”
Ethan Woodie· Jul 11“With DeAndre Hopkins and Isaiah Likely gone, the passing volume may be further consolidated in Flowers' favor. Valued as the WR18 in ECR, Flowers should be in line to smash his ADP if he can simply post a league-average touchdown rate.”
Jim Moorman· Jul 10“Flowers finished as the WR4 overall in route participation in 2025, rocking an impressive 29% target share. In terms of efficiency, Flowers finished 12th or better at the position in yards per route run (YPRR), yards per target and yards per team pass attempt last year.”
