Trust = spike production for that player
Quarterback
Josh Allen: Allen has been a boom-or-bust QB1 this season but still carries one of the highest weekly ceilings.
Allen has opened the year with games as the QB1, QB1, and QB5 in weekly scoring paired with weeks as the QB26, QB28, and QB17.
Allen bounced back with an efficient night on Monday, completing 19-of-25 passes for 215 yards (8.6 Y/A) with 2 touchdowns and a rushing touchdown.
That came against a formidable opponent in the Jets.
We still have not seen Tennessee face a quarterback of Allen’s caliber for fantasy, opening the season with games against Caleb Williams, Aaron Rodgers, Malik Willis, Tyler Huntley, and Joe Flacco.
They have played sound defense against the passers they have been scheduled.
Tennessee has allowed a league-low 5.5 yards per attempt to that rogue’s gallery.
I do not overly consider that in this matchup, but I am looking for Allen to reveal more about this defense's truths.
Allen remains a front-end QB1 option.
Allen can always use his legs to juice his fantasy output, and one thing that a group of passers has done against Tennessee is use their legs when available.
Rodgers and Flacco are not doing much on the ground, but Huntley (40 yards and a touchdown) and Willis (73 yards and a touchdown) had productive rushing games against Tennessee.
Will Levis: Levis struggled again on Sunday, completing 16-of-27 (59.3%) of his passes for 95 yards (3.5 Y/A) against an Indianapolis defense struggling to slow down any passer this season.
Levis has not finished a week higher than QB20 on the season and is a back-end QB2 for fantasy lineups.
Buffalo does not offer matchup appeal, ranking 11th in passing points allowed per attempt (0.359) and allowing 6.6 yards per pass attempt (9th).
