Can Lamar Jackson or Patrick Mahomes challenge Josh Allen this weekend for the #1 spot? How high is Jalen Hurts’ upside on a short week against the Texans?
1. Josh Allen, Bills vs. Jets
Josh Allen remains the #1 QB even after his 2 interception performance last weekend. Allen has the consistent passing production and rushing upside to single-handedly win you your fantasy matchup even against a good Jets defense.
2. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs vs. Titans
The Titans secondary is banged up and the Chiefs are 20-3 under Andy Reid coming off of a bye week. Patrick Mahomes is coming off of a 423 yard, 3 touchdown passing performance against one of the better defenses in football (the 49ers) and should is poised for a huge day against the Titans.
3. Jalen Hurts, Eagles vs. Texans
After A.J. Brown’s 3 touchdown performance, Jalen Hurts is cruising at both throwing and running the football. Hurts has been one of the most consistent fantasy producers all year long and the Texans are one of the worst teams in the league. Despite being on a short week, Hurts will wreak havoc on the Texans defense and is an elite QB1.
4. Lamar Jackson, Ravens vs. Saints
Lamar Jackson is coming off of a 21 fantasy point performance against a stout Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense that saw him complete a season high 27 passes. The Saints defense has been dominant at times, but is too inconsistent to count on shutting down Lamar Jackson.
5. Kyler Murray, Cardinals vs. Seahawks
6. Geno Smith, Seahawks vs. Cardinals
7. Joe Burrow, Bengals vs. Panthers
8. Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins vs. Bears
9. Justin Fields, Bears vs. Dolphins
Justin Fields continues to be one of the best fantasy QB’s over the past couple of weeks due to his increase in rushing production. The Dolphins have a great defense, but that shouldn’t hinder Fields from putting up 20 fantasy points at the very least.
10. Aaron Rodgers, Packers vs. Lions
11. Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars vs. Raiders
12. Kirk Cousins, Vikings vs. Commanders
13. Tom Brady, Buccaneers vs. Rams
14. Derek Carr, Raiders vs. Jaguars
15. Jared Goff, Lions vs. Packers
16. Marcus Mariota, Falcons vs. Chargers
17. Matthew Stafford, Rams vs. Buccaneers
18. Taylor Heinicke, Commanders vs. Vikings
19. Ryan Tannehill, Titans vs. Chiefs
20. Andy Dalton, Saints vs. Ravens
