Josh Allen vs Lamar Jackson: dynasty trade value and roster fit
This comparison looks at the default Superflex value first, then checks how the answer changes in 1QB, TE premium, contender builds, and rebuilds. The goal is not to crown a permanent winner; it is to make the trade room clearer before you send an offer.

What each side represents
Josh Allen is an age-30 QB for BUF with a 84.1 Superflex value and 44.7 1QB value.
Lamar Jackson is an age-29 QB for BAL with a 58.5 Superflex value and 28.9 1QB value.
Josh Allen is the better first click for contenders because the profile leans more toward immediate lineup value. If the rest of your roster is ready, prioritize weekly points over abstract long-term liquidity.
Lamar Jackson is the better fit for rebuilders because the profile keeps more future-facing value on the roster. If you are more than a season away, avoid paying only for this year's production.
Lamar Jackson is the steadier side by the model's risk read. That does not make the other side wrong; it means you should demand a little more margin when taking the higher-variance profile.
