Bills QB Josh Allen Victim of ‘Insane Insult’ in Fantasy Rankings

It's just Fantasy Football. So it's supposed to be fun ... and not taken as seriously as "real football,'' right?

Right?

Then why do some find themselves a bit upset to learn that one ranking has Josh Allen somewhere other than No. 1?

Per that site, stacking the top quarterbacks for the 2025 NFL season, and Buffalo Bills' superstar Josh Allen is not atop the list.

And our long-time NFL columnist Mike Fisher - at the risk of taking this all too seriously - calls that an "insane insult.''

The site writes ... 

"There are three quarterbacks that are in a tier of their own, and Josh Allen sits atop that list.In each of the last five seasons, Allen has finished as a top-three quarterback in fantasy points per game. We saw a different Allen last season, where big-time mistakes and turnovers almost weren't an option for him anymore—he had a career-low five interceptions in 2024."

All true. So ... Josh is No. 1, right?

The site concludes that it "has Allen as QB2 heading into this season.... with Lamar Jackson and Allen interchangeable at the top.''

Taking nothing away from the brilliant Baltimore Ravens QB Jackson, but ...

-Allen finished with 3,731 passing yards and 28 touchdowns.

-He also had 531 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns in 2024.

-He did, you know, win the MVP.

Writes the site ...

"It's reigning MVP versus reigning QB1 in fantasy football. Lamar Jackson was ELECTRIC last season, locking down the most rushing yards by a quarterback (915) while averaging 53.8 rushing yards per game. That said, the more impressive part of last season was the strides he made as a passer.

"Jackson not only had career highs in pass attempts (474), completions (316), yards (4,172), and touchdowns (41), but he also had a career-low four interceptions and a league-high 8.8 YPA.''

Counters Fish: "I'm not predicting regression for Lamar Jackson, and in a way I'm not even talking about Lamar. But if we're going to 'honor' a guy for what he did? Thay guy is Josh Allen in their QB1 spot.

"And if we're going to note that "there are three quarterbacks that are in a tier of their own, and Josh Allen sits atop that list'? Well, if he sits atop the list ...

"Josh Allen is my Fantasy QB1. And it's an insane insult to look at it any other way.
