Josh Allen vs Lamar Jackson
Josh Allen holds a 32.1% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/28/2026
THE CASE FOR ALLEN
Josh Allen is the dynasty QB1 by market (SF Value 10,304; Rank #1) and still only 30.2, so you’re paying for elite floor plus multi-year runway. His slight 30-day dip (-62) reads like noise, not a structural decline, and it can be a buy window at the top. Buffalo’s offense is built around his legs and arm, keeping his weekly ceiling intact even through personnel changes. The 28.5% value gap reflects the market pricing Allen as the safest bet to anchor Superflex builds.
THE CASE FOR JACKSON
Lamar Jackson is younger (29.6) and trending up fast (+166 over 30 days), signaling rising confidence and liquidity in trades. His profile is uniquely bankable in fantasy: rushing volume creates a weekly floor few QBs can match when healthy. Baltimore’s scheme is designed to maximize his strengths, and the market still prices him at QB10 (SF Value 7,367), leaving room for value gains if he delivers another elite season. If you’re hunting upside per dollar, Lamar is the better arbitrage.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Prefer Josh Allen for contenders because the QB1 price buys the safest week-to-week advantage in Superflex.
Prefer Josh Allen in a rebuild unless you can pivot to Lamar Jackson plus a meaningful add, because Allen’s insulation and elite liquidity are unmatched.
If values are close, take Lamar Jackson only if you’re getting extra assets; otherwise pay the premium for Allen’s stability.
