These are three Buffalo Bills to start in in fantasy football in Week 1.

The regular season is kicking off this week and with that is the start of the fantasy football season. For Buffalo Bills fans that want to get players from their favorite team, it was certainly a little more challenging this year.

The Bills offense is one of the best in the league and if you have players like Josh Allen or Stefon Diggs on your team, it likely resulted in using one of your early picks to add them. This week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Buffalo Bills are facing a tough defense but there are players worth starting.

I have identified three players on the Buffalo Bills to start along with one sleeper for Week 1.

Start: Josh Allen

Even though the Pittsburgh Steelers had the second-best pass defense in the NFL, there are not many situations that the Buffalo Bills quarterback can be benched. Even in tough matchups, Allen is still a good quarterback to start with the rushing yards and touchdowns that he usually adds to his stat line.

Last year against the Steelers was one of Allen’s worst games of the season. It was only one of two that he completed less than 60% of his passes and threw for 238 passing yards with two touchdowns and one interception.

Josh Allen was one of the best players in fantasy football this year and while it won’t be a monster game, he should still finish in the Top 12 and is startable this week.
