Who Should I Start? Jameis Winston or Jared Goff

Sunday, November 23, 5:24 PM

New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston completed 18 of his 36 pass attempts for 366 yards, two passing touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's Week 12 win over the Detroit Lions. He also got involved in some trickery, adding a third touchdown on a 33-yard reception that was thrown to him by wide receiver Gunner Olszewski. Winston's turnover and low completion rate were unfortunate, but his high yardage and three total touchdowns made him a valuable fantasy option once again. Unfortunately for fantasy managers who were relying on him as a streamer, Winston will head back to the bench in Week 13 if Jaxson Dart (concussion) clears concussion protocol, as expected. The offense belongs to Dart once again, but at least we've seen that Winston can be a fringe top-12 fantasy quarterback if he ever gets thrust back into the starting role.

Entering Week 13, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has thrown for at least 250 yards and two touchdowns in three out of his last four games. However, Goff will face a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. Through 12 weeks, Green Bay's defense is allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. In Detroit's first matchup against the Packers in Week 1, Goff completed 31 of 39 pass attempts for 225 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Making matters even more difficult, Goff will be without starting left guard Christian Mahogany (leg), starting center Graham Glasgow (knee), and tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) in Week 13. Goff profiles as a low-end starting fantasy quarterback in single-QB formats against the Packers.
