Quarterback: Josh Allen $8,200

There are so many great options at quarterback this week. Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Dak Prescott, Kyler Murray, and Aaron Rodgers could all have monster games. Honestly, it’s hard to go wrong with quarterback this week. Josh Allen still seems like one of the safer picks without completely breaking the bank.

He’s going up against the Miami Dolphins, who just faced a similar quarterback in Cam Newton. He got himself two rushing touchdowns and 75 yards on the ground. Newton wasn’t much of a threat in the air, but Allen would be different. He had over 300 yards against the New York Hets last week, on top of 57 yards rushing and a rushing touchdown.

Adding Stefon Diggs to John Brown and Cole Beasley in this receiving core has already paid dividends. There are threats everywhere, and the Dolphins appear to be out of their league still despite the offseason additions.

Allen is expensive this week, coming up higher than Rodgers, Murray, and Deshaun Watson, but it will be worth the price. His rushing acumen and the fact this happened to Miami shows this is a known asset. Obviously, anything can happen, but it’s rare in fantasy to have true confidence going into a matchup.

Other options: Aaron Rodgers $7,900, Gardner Minshew II $7,200
