Last season against Houston, Allen threw for 253 yards (no touchdowns), threw 2 interceptions and was sacked 8 times … all good for 8.1 fantasy points... Allen was one of my 2026 fantasy favorites for the season... but this week he's playing the Texans, who last year were No. 1 in defensive dropback EPA (-0.126).

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Allen's 8.1-point outing vs. Texans last year signals bust risk despite season upside.

Valenzuela expresses concern about starting Josh Allen in Week 1 against the Texans, noting that last season Allen threw for just 253 yards with no touchdowns, 2 interceptions, and 8 sacks for 8.1 fantasy points in a 23-19 road loss. Freedman also identifies Allen as a bust candidate in Week 1, highlighting that while Allen is one of his 2026 fantasy favorites and has been especially strong indoors (10-5-1 ATS), the Texans ranked No. 1 in defensive dropback EPA (-0.126) last year. Allen's bust potential this week is unquestionably greater than usual, though his overall season projections remain solid.
