Jared Goff a Must-Start Quarterback in Favorable Week 5 Matchup

Friday, October 9, 4:20 PM

Four games into his 2026 season, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has completed 67.7% of his pass attempts for 1,214 yards, nine touchdowns, and zero interceptions. With Detroit's defense looking like one of the worst in the NFL early on, the Lions have been forced into pass-heavy game scripts, and Goff is currently averaging over 40 pass attempts per game. In Week 5, the Lions will travel to Arizona to take on a Cardinals defense that currently ranks dead last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (9.1). As long as Goff continues to throw at his current rate, he could be in for a monster day against Arizona and should be viewed as a must-start QB1 option by fantasy managers in Week 5.

Dak Prescott Still A Fantasy Football QB1 in Week 6 at Packers

Saturday, October 17, 12:29 AM

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will face the Green Bay Packers on the road in Week 6 after a disappointing performance in Week 5. He failed to lift the Cowboys to a win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers sans their starting quarterback, Baker Mayfield (thumb). This week, he'll face one of the tougher defenses against quarterbacks in the NFL -- Green Bay has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing QBs this season. It looks like wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will return for Week 6 without restrictions, but he may still be slowed down by the thigh injury that affected him in Week 5. Prescott wasn't very effective with Lamb out of the lineup, and threw just one touchdown against two interceptions in the loss. Prescott is still productive enough to be a QB1, and depending on how healthy Lamb is, could bounce back, but don't expect a monster ceiling against the defense that's lockdown against the pass, allowing the sixth-fewest yards per pass attempt this year.
