Ian Hartitz ranks Josh Allen QB1, the undisputed king of fantasy football and all-time leader in fantasy points per game in the Super Bowl era. Allen has finished as QB1 or QB2 for six consecutive years since 2020. Hartitz quantifies Allen's elite playoff hit rate: 50% of ESPN rosters with Allen made playoffs in 2020, 49% in 2021, 59% in 2022, 62% in 2023, 58% in 2024, and 58% in 2025—significantly beating the 40% baseline for a neutral player in 10-team leagues. Hartitz views round 3 ADP as justifiable despite depth at QB later, comparing Allen to the Family Guy boat meme: 'We know who Josh Allen is. He's the boat guys.'
