Josh Allen vs Patrick Mahomes
Josh Allen holds a 52.5% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/19/2026
THE CASE FOR ALLEN
Allen is the dynasty QB1 because his rushing is a weekly cheat code and his ceiling breaks formats in Superflex. Buffalo is built around him, so the volume and goal-line equity aren’t going anywhere. Even with some year-to-year volatility, his points-per-game edge is real and hard to replace.
THE CASE FOR MAHOMES
Mahomes is the safest real-life bet: elite processor, elite playmaker, elite job security. His weekly floor is strong and his career longevity profile is excellent, even as he runs less. The current dynasty discount is mostly recency bias from a more conservative KC offense and a shifting supporting cast.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Josh Allen—he gives you the biggest weekly edge right now.
Take Patrick Mahomes—slightly safer long-term profile, and the market discount helps you build around him.
It’s close in real talent, but in Superflex scoring Allen’s rushing keeps him a tier above.
