Josh Allen Draws Stiff Week 1 Test Against Jets

Josh Allen Draws Stiff Week 1 Test Against Jets

one year ago

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen kicks off the 2023 campaign on Monday against the divisional-rival New York Jets. The 27-year-old ranked as a consensus top-three QB in fantasy drafts this summer, leading the position in fantasy points in the last three seasons. Allen heads under center against a Jets defense which restricted QBs to the fourth-lowest passing yards (3526) per game and fewest pass touchdowns overall (15) in 2022. However, Gang Green also surrendered the third-most rushing scores (six) to QBs last season, perhaps working to the benefit of Allen's rushing prowess. Though the spot is certainly far from ideal, the two-time Pro Bowler is a locked-in QB1 whose DFS ownership should be lower than usual. Allen totes a fantastic 18:2 TD:INT with 272 passing yards per game in six career Monday starts.
