Josh Allen (QB, BUF) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

Elliott Baas profiles quarterback Josh Allen as a waiver wire pickup for Week 2 of the 2018 NFL season.

ANALYSISNathan Peterman was deservedly benched in the third quarter of the Bills 47-3 drubbing at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens and replaced by Josh Allen. We knew that Peterman was playing on borrowed time, but this was a quicker hook than anyone could have expected. Peterman had a robust 0.0 quarterback rating before getting pulled, so he forced Sean McDermott’s hand with this performance. McDermott hasn’t committed to either Allen or Peterman yet, but perhaps after a close review of the tape McDermott will come to his senses.

Allen, the seventh overall pick in the 2018 draft out of Wyoming, is known for his big arm and athleticism at the quarterback position. If Allen were to start he’d be facing a Chargers’ defense that just got decimated by Tyreek Hill and Patrick Mahomes in week one. He’s not worth starting in most circumstances even if Allen gets the nod, but in deeper leagues where practically every quarterback matters Allen should be on the radar on waivers this week.
