Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or A.J. Brown

Sunday, October 5, 10:03 PM

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff led the charge as his team scored at least 34 points for the fourth straight week in a 37-24 Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Goff completed 19 of 23 pass attempts for 258 yards and three touchdowns, although he did get sacked four times and lost a fumble while playing without left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder). Through five games this season, Goff has thrown for 1,187 yards, 12 touchdowns, and two interceptions. He remains a matchup-dependent, low-end fantasy starter in single-quarterback formats. Goff and the Lions will face a difficult test in Week 6 as they travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.

According to a report from NFL.com, the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles aren't considering a trade of wide receiver A.J. Brown, who has publicly expressed frustration about his role in the team's offense. The star receiver is having a down year so far, having caught just 14 of 28 targets for 151 yards and a touchdown through four games. Though he's expressed his desire to be more involved, Brown also said he wants to stay with the Eagles, with the report noting the team will make it a point to get him more targets. Brown ranks a lowly 47th among PPR receivers, which would be by far the worst mark of his NFL career, so count fantasy managers among those who would like to see Brown featured once again.
