Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 First off I'm not one to get all excited whenever the Bills are slighted in any way. Fir the most part, who cares. But was just reading Sporting News Fantasy QB rankings and kind of amazed #1 Mahomes No surprise there #2 Murray #3 Allen #4 Wilson #5 Jackson Murray at #2, that to me is crazy based on what he's done so far. I'd put Allen, Wilson and Jackson ahead of him at this point and I'm no fan of Jackson. Their thinking with Allen ranked #3 is that the Bills will run more, but still seems crazy that they think Murray will do at that much in total to rank him #2 IMO Diggs is the #3 WR BTW Bass #9 of kickers. Actually that one could understand a bit based on the rate the Bills scored TD's at Knox #31 ranked TE https://www.sportingnews.com/us/fantasy/list/2021-fantasy-qb-rankings/1swg07d1544451ewt40m2pwyka/4
Stank_Nasty Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 Murray was a top 3 scorer at QB last year. Nothing surprising here 2 1 2
nucci Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 Murray is an excellent fantasy QB even though he can struggle in real games

machine gun kelly Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 It’s Fantasy not real football. In the real football world, I’m cool with a competition between Mahomes, Rodgers, Brady, Wilson, Allen, and Herbert over Murray. I have absolutely nothing against Murray. I think he might be a solid franchise QB, but he’s not there yet. Nothing against him if I were an AZ fan, I’d be very happy. One thing is for sure, that is a tough division so he’ll be battle tested every year.
GymShorts84 Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 I had Allen and Murray last year. This year I have a disgruntled Aaron Rodgers. 1
JoPoy88 Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 Murray puts up big fantasy numbers, not sure what the problem is here.
Chicken Boo Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 You could re-organize that list in any order and it'd be a legit possibility.
ALLEN1QB Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 Ertz ranking should go up after Eagles other TE got hurt. Knox 31 lol
Nester Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 In an ironic twist of fate it’s now a tad annoying for a Bills fantasy fan that Josh is so well known. last few years it was easy to draft him late. Now you am going to have to snag him super early or miss out! 2

Allen 2. Murray 3. Jackson 4. Mahomes The main reason Murray goes over Mahomes is that he gets a ton of rushing TDs. He likes to keep the ball himself and run in short yardage red zone situations. That is also why the Cardinals RBs underperform in Fantasy. I won all my fantasy groups last year (both regular and PPR) and the one common factor was having Allen (who I drafted typically in rounds 6 or 7). Guys who had Murray always made the playoffs (so guys who had Murray did pretty well). Murray was on a tear first 9 or 10 weeks before he hurt his shoulder. The only reason I have Allen over Murray is that the latter can get hurt because of his style of play. Allen is more durable. Make sure you have a good Qb2 for the playoffs though. I had to rest Allen for week 17 in favor of Herbert for obvious reasons.

MJS Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Murray runs more than Allen. Rushing is more valuable than passing in fantasy football. Edited August 21, 2021 by MJS

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted August 21, 2021 Author Posted August 21, 2021 OK guess I'm looking at it more fro ma real football mindset, not fantasy. But for the same reasons then fantasy wise, think I'd then still have Jackson ahead of Murray
Mat68 Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 (edited) Allen has been a top 2 fantasy qb since returning from injury his rookie year. I ecpect a little less rushing but more passing yards and tds. Edited August 21, 2021 by Mat68
Bookie Man Posted August 21, 2021 Posted August 21, 2021 I'm drafting 12th out of 12 in a full PPR league. To get Allen, I'd have to snag him on the 3rd/4th turn. I'm really wanting him, but it might make more sense to wait another round and grab Murray or Herbert. I hate drafting 12th, but every time I do, I feel like i finish top 3 lol.
