Two straight at last, and Josh Allen's Falcons are the measuring stick

Week 5 gave us something this season had not: a follow-up. The 152.3-to-134.8 win over the Nemotron Ninjas made it two straight, and 2-3 still means tenth of twelve — but we have stopped beating ourselves. After the 0-3 start we said this roster was better than its record. That was a claim; the last two weeks are the first evidence for it. The test gets sterner Sunday. The Flash Falcons arrive at 3-2 with Josh Allen, whose 24.9 projection is the highest on either side this week, and Nico Collins just scored twice against the Cowboys. Our counterpunch: Kenneth Walker's 21.8 flex projection against Kenny Gainwell's 8.6, Jaylen Warren coming off a week where he took the bulk of the Pittsburgh carries with Rico Dowdle inactive, and Puka Nacua leading our wideouts. Projections are forecasts, not results. We like our chances anyway.
