Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Baker Mayfield

Sunday, September 14, 6:18 PM

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff was outstanding on the field during Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Goff bounced back in epic fashion after a lackluster performance in the season opener. Goff completed 23-of-28 passing attempts for 334 yards with five touchdowns in the blowout victory. Yes, you read that correctly, Goff threw five touchdowns in this game. Goff went out and showed former Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson that he's doing just fine without him. He tossed a pair of touchdowns to Jameson Williams while Amon-Ra St. Brown found the end zone three times on Sunday. Now, Goff will head into a tough test against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3. Given his performance this week, fantasy managers should view Goff as a QB1 for next week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield wasn't excellent in the season opener, but he got the job done. Mayfield completed 17-of-32 passing attempts for 176 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions in the win over the Atlanta Falcons. The passing yardage was low for Mayfield, but he is missing two of his wide receivers in Chris Godwin (ankle) and Jalen McMillan (neck) right now. The three scores gave fantasy managers a good game, so they don't have much to complain about. The Bucs should continue being a pass-heavy offense which should make Mayfield a viable weekly option. Mayfield should once again remain in the mid-range QB1 territory for the upcoming Monday night matchup against the Houston Texans in Week 2.
