Another week, another round of crucially important start/sit decisions. To help you make them, here’s a look at five players with bust potential in Week 6.
Something to keep in mind as you’re reading: a “fade” or “bust” designation doesn’t automatically mean you should sit a player, depending on the depth of the rest of your roster or available options on your waiver wire.
QB Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills
I take no pleasure in reporting this, but 2024 Josh Allen is not the Josh Allen of the past. This is a new version of Josh Allen — one that we haven’t seen in some time. Allen has finished as the overall QB1 twice in five weeks, which is good news. The bad news is that the three weeks where he didn’t finish as the overall QB1, he finished as the QB19 or lower. That’s a floor we haven’t seen from Allen in some time, having had just one such finish all of last season.
In Week 6, the Bills will face the New York Jets, who just fired their defensive-minded head coach to the surprise of the roster, a unit that will likely be playing with a little fire under their belt this week. They’ve allowed just two total passing touchdowns all season, holding Brock Purdy, Will Levis, Jacoby Brissett, Bo Nix and Sam Darnold to a combined 38.7 fantasy points. For you math fans out there, that’s only 3.3 fewer points than Kirk Cousins scored in Week 5 alone.
Allen has typically performed well against the Jets; over the past four seasons, he’s averaged 268 passing yards, 2.2 pass TD and 0.9 INT per game with another 36.8 rushing yards and 0.5 rush TD per game against the divisional rival. However, given the current state of the offense and the fact that WR Khalil Shakir could miss a second straight game, another down week seems likely.
Heat check 🔥 Under no circumstance are you sitting Allen in most leagues, but if there’s a time to expect a down week, it’s this one. The only circumstance where you are benching Allen is if you happen to have paired him with a later-round value like…
