Todd Bailey selected Allen with the 1.13 pick in the FSGA Draft, which the source views as a huge mistake. The source argues that spending early draft capital on Allen is inefficient in guillotine leagues; they prefer to wait until the eighth round or later to draft a quarterback, noting that approximately 20 quarterbacks will produce enough in the first few weeks to keep a team alive. Allen's Week 1 matchup against Houston's dominant defense compounds the issue, and the opportunity cost of the early pick forces the team to rely on Isiah Pacheco in the RB2 spot.

The all-time leader in QB career fantasy points per game hasn't finished worse than QB2 since 2020. Allen has maintained a strong hit rate when drafted in the Round 2-3 range: 50% playoff roster appearance in 2020 (ADP QB10-82), 49% in 2021 (ADP QB2-26), 58.6% in 2022 (ADP QB1-21), 62.1% in 2023 (ADP QB2-20), 58.2% in 2024 (ADP QB1-23), and 57.5% in 2025 (ADP QB1-23). The Bills' heavy use of the tush push at the goal line—with an 83.1% conversion rate versus Philadelphia's 73.2%—provides fantasy upside unavailable to other QBs; Allen and Jalen Hurts are the only two QBs with 30+ fantasy points from 1-yard line rushes over the last two seasons.
