Fantasy Tiers

Josh Allen: Tier 1 (Elite) QB (ranked #1 at the position). Will Levis: Tier 5 (Deep League) QB (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 32 quarterbacks this season, Josh Allen is producing at 104% of elite pace and Will Levis at 60%. That ranking gap means Josh Allen carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Josh Allen vs Will Levis: The Full Breakdown

There is a real production gap between these two quarterbacks. Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills) averaged 22.8 PPG over 16 games in 2025, outscoring Will Levis (Tennessee Titans, 13.2 PPG) by 9.6 points per week. That separation would need a significant matchup swing to overcome.

The per-game difference of 9.6 points favors Josh Allen, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one quarterback to the other.

Josh Allen offers meaningful rushing upside with 579 yards on the ground in 2025, which separates his floor from a pocket passer like Will Levis (2780 passing yards, 17 touchdowns). In games where the passing matchup looks ugly, that rushing production can be the entire difference on a start/sit call.

One scheduling note: Josh Allen is off Week 7 and Will Levis Week 5. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in quarterback for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Josh Allen is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Will Levis is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Josh Allen (age 30) is in his prime window. Peak production now with steady value for the next 3-4 seasons. Will Levis (age 27) is in his prime window. Peak production now with steady value for the next 3-4 seasons.
