Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Daniel Jones

Friday, November 7, 8:57 PM

Through eight games so far this season, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has thrown for 1,915 yards, 17 touchdowns, and three interceptions. The 31-year-old has tossed multiple touchdown passes in five out of eight contests and is currently averaging eight yards per pass attempt. In Week 10, Goff gets a favorable matchup on paper against the Washington Commanders. Through nine weeks, Washington ranks last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19). The Commanders also lost top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (knee) to a season-ending ACL tear in Week 9. If there's reason for concern for Goff, it's the Lions' struggles on the offensive line. Goff has been sacked 14 times over his last four games after taking just four sacks over his first four outings. Still, Goff profiles as a low-end fantasy QB1 against Washington in Week 10.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said that the Indianapolis Colts believe that quarterback Daniel Jones is their "franchise guy" at the position, which is why they shipped two first-round picks and receiver Adonai Mitchell to the New York Jets at Tuesday's trade deadline to secure the services of All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to help their secondary. Jones laid an egg in the Week 9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, throwing three interceptions and also fumbling three times, but he also threw for a season-high 342 yards on 31 of 50 passing. Overall, in his first year in Indy, Jones has been great, completing a career-best 69.6% of his passes for a league-high 2,404 yards, 14 touchdowns, and six interceptions in nine games. The former first-rounder has led Indy to a 7-2 record and is generating buzz as an MVP candidate. The jury is out on whether Jones can keep this up, but the Colts' strong ground game and offensive line have certainly taken the pressure off of him.
