Should You Start or Sit Josh Allen in Week 4?
The evolution of Josh Allen is remarkable to watch and while I’m not sure it’s ideal for his fantasy stock, it’s likely to continue given the success that the Bills are having with this new version of him.
Allen has completed over 71% of his passes in two of three games to open 2025 and hasn’t thrown an interception since Christmas. We get glimpses of chaotic Allen come out from time to time (two weird flick passes on Thursday night being the latest example, one of which was a touchdown and the other a very questionable risk to take), but it’s rare. He’s taking what is given to him and trusting his supporting cast.
That’s going to win a lot of games, albeit at the cost sometimes of fantasy production. After carrying 14 times in the opener (two touchdowns), Allen has just 10 carries since and hasn’t scored. James Cook has been great in the traditional run game while the Khalil Shakir/Dalton Kincaid tandem is one he trusts underneath, not to mention some development of Keon Coleman on that front.
Allen remains an elite fantasy option, don’t get me wrong. Buffalo is in scoring position the second his hands touch the ball and that’s simply a fact. The leveling up of his quarterback play (at least eight different players have a reception in all three games this season) helps stabilize his weekly value, even if it comes at the cost of some of his ceiling.
I’m not sure there’s a path to significant profit given where you drafted Allen this summer, though I also find it unlikely that he’s the reason your fantasy team underachieves.
