Outlook Josh Allen
Elite Dual-Threat Ceiling in High-Scoring Road Matchup Against the Jets
Healthy and sitting atop the AFC, Allen heads to East Rutherford after overcoming relentless blitz pressure in his recent win over Minnesota. Surrounded by weapons DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kincaid, and James Cook III, he pairs efficient passing with dominant goal-line mobility, already totaling nine rushing touchdowns this season. Left tackle Dion Dawkins is questionable with a rib issue, though Allen routinely creates plays outside the pocket.
Backed by universal start rates in a divisional clash expected to be high scoring, fantasy managers can lock him into lineups across all formats. Our models project 28.1 fantasy points behind roughly 275 passing yards, 33 rushing yards, and multiple scores. Even if Buffalo builds a big road lead and leans on the run late, his red-zone rushing role delivers premier upside.

Fernando Mendoza vs SEA at home — tough test in first career start
Following the trade of Kirk Cousins to Minnesota, the Raiders named the rookie top pick their starting quarterback going forward. Mendoza steps in ahead of Aidan O'Connell for his first career start on Sunday, taking command of an offense featuring tight end Brock Bowers, running back Ashton Jeanty, and wideout Tre Tucker.
Fantasy managers quickly took notice as his rostership jumped to 18% overnight, though few are trusting him in lineups for such a difficult debut. Playing as sizable home underdogs in an expected low-scoring battle against a stingy Seattle pass defense, our weekly projection pegs him for 207 passing yards, 1.3 passing touchdowns, and 13.3 fantasy points, making him a speculative bench stash this week.
