Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Bo Nix

Sunday, December 14, 10:00 PM

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff posted huge numbers in his team's Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, completing 25 of 41 pass attempts for 338 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Across 14 games this season, the 31-year-old has now completed 69.3% of his pass attempts for 3,672 yards, 29 touchdowns, and five interceptions. With the Lions' defense struggling, Goff has been forced to turn to the air with regularity over the second half of the season. After attempting more than 30 passes in a game just once over the season's first seven weeks, Goff has topped that mark six times over his last seven games. Goff has thrown for at least 250 yards in all seven of those contests. As long as Detroit continues to find itself in pass-heavy game scripts, Goff could continue to have chances to rack up numbers. The Lions will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix led his team to an 11th straight win on the season in the Week 15 matchup versus the Green Bay Packers, defeating them 34-26. Despite playing against a difficult defense, Nix showed up for what was one of his best games of the season, completing 23 of 34 pass attempts for 302 yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions, and added 10 yards rushing on seven carries. This is precisely what fantasy managers were hoping for in the first round of the playoffs from Nix, who had been struggling to reach QB1 output since Week 8. Getting hot at the right time, Nix will face the Jacksonville Jaguars at home in Week 16.
