Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Jared Goff

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart is active and will operate as the team's backup for Week 1 against the Washington Commanders. Meanwhile, Jameis Winston is inactive as the team's emergency third quarterback. This depth chart decision from the coaching staff aligns with recent rumors that indicated Dart may have earned the backup job and could even make his NFL debut in Week 1. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport recently noted that the Giants have a package of plays ready for Dart, so it's possible that he could relieve starter Russell Wilson for a handful of snaps on Sunday afternoon. Still, Dart is merely a dynasty stash at this point, as he'd need to be inserted as the full-time starter before warranting any interest in redraft leagues. Meanwhile, Winston should be left on waivers in all leagues.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff did not have his cleanest game in Week 9, taking five sacks in his team's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Still, Goff managed to post solid production from a fantasy perspective, completing 25 of 37 pass attempts for 284 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The 31-year-old has now thrown for 1,915 yards, 17 touchdowns, and three interceptions across eight starts in 2025. Unfortunately for Goff, the Lions' pass protection issues may continue going forward as they lost starting left guard Christian Mahogany (leg) to a serious-looking leg injury in Week 9. Still, Goff has a favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 when the Lions travel to Washington to face the Commanders.
