All Ron Stewart insights about Josh Allen
NegativeValueAug 31, 2026
Ron Stewart considered drafting Josh Allen early to lock in an elite quarterback, but decided against it because selecting Zay Flowers first meant he wanted to remain open to drafting Lamar Jackson later in the draft rather than committing to Josh Allen early. In superflex leagues, Stewart identified Josh Allen as one of the top two picks alongside Gibbs.PositiveValueAug 29, 2026
Ron Stewart considers Josh Allen a strong pick who can be locked in during round three or later, noting he has been a consistent performer for five years; he is a preferred quarterback target, otherwise recommending waiting until round seven or later.PositiveValueAug 29, 2026
Ron Stewart positioned Josh Allen as a top-5 tier quarterback in his draft strategy for a three-wide receiver one-flex format. Stewart noted he would only consider taking Allen at 27th or 28th overall in a league that punts quarterback, and only if all running backs get wiped out and he pivots to zero RB strategy. This indicates Stewart views Allen as a premium quarterback option but not worth early-round capital in his preferred draft approach.NegativeValueAug 28, 2026
Josh Allen serves as the benchmark for elite fantasy quarterback production, leading all QBs in points per game since 2021. His ADP varies significantly by league, ranging from the first round to the fourth round.NegativeUsageAug 28, 2026
Ron Stewart identifies Josh Allen as a potential 'vulture' who impacts James Cook's fantasy value by taking goal-line carries, though he notes this usage pattern may evolve. In superflex formats, Stewart considers Allen as a 1.01 candidate but ultimately prefers Jahmyr Gibbs.NegativeProjectionAug 25, 2026
Josh Allen's fantasy value is league-format dependent; in shallow leagues with two WR and one flex, quarterback position is more valuable, but in deeper formats with three WR and two flex, quarterback is devalued. Ron Stewart notes Allen has maintained elite production for five years with a high floor, though he lacks the ceiling upside of breakout receivers; Stewart is comfortable waiting on Allen after elite receivers are drafted.NegativeValueAug 23, 2026
Ron Stewart argues against drafting Josh Allen in the fourth round, noting that the opportunity cost is too high given the availability of late-round quarterbacks who can match his production down the stretch in tournament formats. Additionally, Stewart prefers the correlation of an Eagles stack (Jalen Hurts) over the individual value of Allen.PositiveValueAug 23, 2026
Ron Stewart identifies Josh Allen as a super steady third-round quarterback pick for hero RB builds, preferring him over Lamar Jackson due to Jackson's 22.2% bust rate in rounds 3–4. In shallower lineups, Stewart pushes Allen into the middle of the third round because 'the shallower that lineup is, the higher percentage of points scored goes towards quarterback and tight end,' justifying earlier QB selection.PositiveValueAug 20, 2026
In Superflex format, Ron Stewart could be talked into Josh Allen as high as pick 102, suggesting he views Allen as a strong value at that draft position in Superflex leagues.PositiveProjectionAug 19, 2026
Ron Stewart considers Josh Allen to be the highest-floor player available in the early rounds of fantasy drafts.PositiveProjectionAug 17, 2026
Ranked 5th overall in Ron Stewart's Superflex rankings; Stewart indicates at the eighth pick, Allen is one of the preferred targets alongside Lamar Jackson, JSN, JT, and McCaffrey. Selected in draft as part of a Bills-Chiefs stack with James Cook; described as 'a fun way to do things here.' However, early QB selection created roster construction challenge—source notes 'After taking Josh Allen here, we really got behind the eight ball at receiver,' indicating the pick forced a reactive receiver-heavy strategy later in the draft.NegativeRoleAug 14, 2026
Host selects Josh Allen as part of a balanced team construction strategy, pairing him with James Cook (Bills stack) and T. Higgins to create a diverse but interconnected roster. Allen was included in the source's drafted team composition as part of a balanced, hero RB build.NegativeValueAug 13, 2026
Ron Stewart expresses skepticism about early Josh Allen quarterback selections. Stewart states: 'That's an early Josh Allen. I suppose Allen never gets back. So, it's like kind of a fun idea. It's not something I would do.' This indicates concern about reaching for Allen early when he typically falls back to later rounds, making early picks inefficient. At pick 34 (103-104 overall), Stewart notes it's 'not a bad option' but he's 'still not in love with it.' However, at ADP 307 in shallow-roster formats (two-wide receiver, one flex), Allen becomes 'probably a great pick' because 'the less players in your starting lineup, the more Josh Allen gets elevated.'NegativeValueAug 12, 2026
Ron Stewart is unwilling to draft Josh Allen early despite his elite status, noting Josh Allen is 312 ADP and stating 'I don't think I can do it' when considering him at the turn. Stewart prefers to wait on quarterback in this deep roster format, where alternatives like Lamar Jackson (sixth-round), Joe Burrow (seventh-round), Jayden Daniels (eighth-round), Jalen Hurts (ninth-round), and Caleb Williams (tenth-round) are available later. Stewart later reiterates it is 'really tough to pay up for Josh Allen knowing the quarterbacks later,' emphasizing reluctance to draft him early given the depth of late-round quarterback options.PositiveProjectionAug 11, 2026
Josh Allen is the highest-rated QB in projected points per game, establishing the top tier of QB production. Ron Stewart uses him as a reference point to show that even elite quarterbacks like Allen were the only QB you could not get for free on waivers last season, illustrating that early QB investment is inefficient. After Allen, the tier drops to Lamar Jackson and then Drake Maye.PositiveValueAug 11, 2026

Ron Stewart considers drafting Josh Allen, noting the strategic implications for stacking with Dak Prescott.PositiveValueAug 7, 2026
Ron Stewart notes Josh Allen is the next best player after Tee Higgins but avoids taking him early in tournament formats because quarterbacks usually fall. However, Stewart later calls Josh Allen a great pick in the fourth round for this two-wide receiver, two-flex redraft format, indicating strong positional value at that draft stage.PositiveValueAug 5, 2026
Josh Allen is the exception to the rule among round 2-3 quarterbacks. He has been drafted in round two and round three over the last five seasons and has paid off every single time, consistently exceeding wins above replacement expectation in each of the last five seasons. Ron Stewart recommends him as a late-second or third-round option if available.PositiveValueAug 3, 2026
The source expresses strong interest in Josh Allen in the fourth round, noting 'Anytime Josh Allen's there in the fourth, you got to take him' and indicating he will likely draft Allen multiple times this season.NegativeProjectionJan 16, 2026
Allen finished as QB1 overall in 2025 but failed to provide a 1+ PPG advantage over late-round QBs Drake Maye and Matthew Stafford. Early-round QB investment was brutal relative to positional advantage, contrasting sharply with McBride's 4+ PPG edge at TE.PositiveValueNo date
Ron Stewart highlights Josh Allen as a consistent 'monster pick' over the last five seasons and a preferred target in the third round over running backs he views as having limited upside.
