Fantasy Football 2025: Analyst sends warning to players planning to draft Josh Allen

The NFL season is approaching very quickly, which means fantasy drafts have started, and will continue around the world. With that in mind, many players will be targeting reigning MVP and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen in the early portions of their draft. However, Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report says to steer clear of taking Allen too early.

"There's no question Josh Allen is one of the NFL's best quarterbacks," Davenport writes. "The reigning NFL MVP failed to hit 4,000 passing yards last year for the first time since 2019, but thanks to over 500 rushing yards and a dozen rushing scores, he finished the year fourth in fantasy points among quarterbacks. The 29-year-old is the first quarterback being selected in early fantasy drafts, with an ADP in the middle of Round 2. As good as he may be, though, he isn't worth a pick that early; no quarterback is."

While Allen is arguably the top quarterback in the NFL heading into 2025, that doesn't always translate to fantasy points, so fans may want to wait to draft the reigning MVP, or take another quarterback who could put up more fantasy points.
