Josh Allen's 9-TD, Zero-Turnover Start Puts Him in MVP Company
Allen is one of just three players ever with 9+ total TDs and no turnovers through two games. The other two won MVP that season.
Nine TDs, zero turnovers in two games — he's a locked-in weekly QB1.
- 9+ TDs, 0 turnovers thru 2 games — 3rd player ever
- Two straight games with 4+ TD, 0 INT
- Two straight games with two rushing TDs
- Bills 19-2 at home over last 21 games with a Sunday win
- Allen finished 2025 with 365 PPR pts, our QB2
Josh Allen has opened the season with nine total touchdowns and zero turnovers through two games — and that's not just a nice line, it's rarefied air. According to NBC Sports research, only two other players have ever done it in their first two games: Patrick Mahomes in 2018 and Peyton Manning in 2013. Both of them walked away with the MVP that year.
The historical breadcrumbs keep piling up. If Allen throws or runs for at least two scores and stays clean against the Chargers on Sunday, he'll join Mahomes as the only quarterbacks with 11-plus touchdowns and no turnovers through three games. Mahomes set that bar with 13 TDs and no giveaways in 2018.
Two Streaks Worth Watching
Allen has now stacked back-to-back games with four-plus touchdowns and no interceptions. One more Sunday and he ties a five-man club for the longest such streak in league history — a list that includes Matthew Stafford (2025), Allen himself (2024), Lamar Jackson (2019), Drew Brees (2018) and Russell Wilson (2015). Then there's the ground game: two straight games with two rushing touchdowns, something only Priest Holmes, Stephen Davis and Jim Brown have managed to start a season.
Allen would happily swap every one of those footnotes for a 3-0 record — his third straight season starting perfect — and a shot to push Buffalo to 19-2 at home over their last 21 games. The rushing production is exactly why he's a cheat code in fantasy. Those legs turn a good passing week into a ceiling week, and right now the legs are cooking.
The Fantasy Angle
For context, Allen closed 2025 (17 games) with 3,668 passing yards, 25 passing TDs, 14 rushing scores and 365 PPR points — good for our QB2 behind Stafford's 370. He finished last year as our overall No. 6 player and No. 2 at the position, and this opening stretch suggests the ceiling is even higher.
The move here is simple: there's no move. Allen is a set-it-and-forget-it QB1 every single week, turnover-proof and touchdown-dependent in the best way. Start him with total confidence against the Chargers, and if a panicked manager in your league somehow floats him after a quiet week down the road, that's your cue to buy — not to blink.
