atomicpwrd Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Last year in fantasy, I drafted Mahommes late in the draft after picking up Rivers a round earlier. Needless to say, I hit some fantasy gold there. Do you feel like something similar could happen with Allen? I don't think he has the weapons that Mahommes had last year, but we are pretty deep with the ability to spread the ball around a lot. I think the key to success is if Morse says healthy. CBS posted this article today: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/2019-fantasy-football-draft-prep-quarterback-sleepers/?ftag=SPM-16-10abi8e They are looking for late round fantasy QB gold...and even mentioned rushing as one of the key things they were looking for. I don't know how Allen is not on the radar of any of these analysts...I could have sworn that somewhere I read that Allen was the highest scoring fantasy QB for the last 6 weeks of the season. Sorry I don't remember where I saw that...Among other things, he definitely checks the running QB box, though I hope not as much this year. Also, Lamar Jackson is listed several times...I would not touch him with a 10 foot pole personally. He is too much like Tyrod for my liking. What say you?

GoBills808 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 He’s a stash for me but then I don’t draft QBs in PPR. Strictly waivers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Murray Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Purely from a fantasy perspective, Allen should be average, and if he runs like last year would be above average. You would still be better suited with a tier 1 QB as your starter, but as far as quality-per-draft spot, Allen would probably be one of the better value picks in the draft considering most people wont even consider him. If you skip QB and go for the platoon strategy, i would include him along side a pure passer type to hedge the bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicpwrd Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 That is an interesting take...how does that work our for you? I typically take a QB in the later rounds and it usually pays dividends. 1 minute ago, GoBills808 said: He’s a stash for me but then I don’t draft QBs in PPR.

I play matchups weekly and in 8 team leagues there’s always someone you can find for value, just have to be diligent about putting in the research. Took 2nd last season after Hill got injured but I rode Kittle who was a very lucky pickup...can’t claim it took a ton of skill there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 He probably won't be drafted in all but the deepest leagues. If you like him take a flyer in a late round and hope it works out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickrage Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 (edited) I took mahommes and fitz last year when the run on qbs started and got lambasted for it then I went until week 10 or 11 before losing a game Edited August 2, 2019 by nickrage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen will be drafted and probably in my leagues with Buffalo people, he will be a 1st rounder maybe 1st overall. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't be a Bill's homer and win in fantasy...at least not just yet. 34 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: I play matchups weekly and in 8 team leagues there’s always someone you can find for value, just have to be diligent about putting in the research.

There is more than one way to skin a cat...I took second drafting Mahommes. Rivers came in handy also...I actually started Rivers the first few weeks.

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Josh had big point games from his legs. Im not sure he’ll have the consistency in fantasy to be a reliable starter, esp with the ints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 He's a good backup. Worth a late round pick. Running QB's are always higher valued in fantasy. 46 minutes ago, C.Biscuit97 said: Disagree.

auburnbillsbacker Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 In auction leagues you can get him for a dollar. Tebow was good in fantasy due to his rushing ability. I think Allen will be better than Tebow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn’t much separation between the top and like 15. Mahomes did win some leagues though but it was because he was great draft value (of course I had him and Gurley and didn’t win ?). 38 minutes ago, StHustle said: Anyone who selects a QB in the first round let alone 1st overall I clueless and hopefully for them, not playing in a paid league Agreed. I was in a league one year and someone took Tannehill in the 1st round. Spoiler already: he did really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da webster guy Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 After he returned in Week 12 Josh scored the most PPR points (145.3) of any NFL quarterback and second-most points of any player. That's as a rookie with a weaker group on offense than this year. He's also worth a little more to me because he's a Bill and fantasy is more fun when you can watch your players actually play vs just seeing numbers come up on a screen. Some dudes just care about pure points and some of us include the fun factor, taking into account players you will likely watch live more than others. Thats the reason I dont draft Cardinals, Jags, Skins etc. Probably also the reason I haven't won my league in a decade..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 7 minutes ago, Da webster guy said: Probably also the reason I haven't won my league in a decade..... LOL. So did you take McCoy in the first last year? And where will you take him this year. I think he went late third or 4th round in the league I was in last year. I'll be honest I want Allen bad this year and since I play in a league with my brother who is also a Bills fan I know I am going to have to take him before the 6th round if I want to guarantee I get him.

buffalobloodfloridahome Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 In my league we have a few Bills fans and I did draft him last round last year and dropped him when he got hurt. (I had too many injuries and needed the roster spot). Would of been a great keeper QB and I believe he will be a stand out fantasy player this year.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I don’t think Allen will be as good of a FF quarterback as he was at the end of last season. Many more mouths to feed on that offense, and I don’t think Allen will be running for his life like he was last season. I will target Bills D/ST and Cole Beasley in my 10 team PPR league. Perhaps take a shot at Devin Singletary in the last couple rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
