Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Daniel Jones

Friday, November 28, 11:06 AM

Once star Detroit Lions wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) went down with an ankle injury in the first quarter of Detroit's Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Lions quarterback Jared Goff looked like he might be heading towards a disastrous day. However, the 31-year-old bounced back nicely in a tough matchup, completing 20 of 26 pass attempts for 256 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. With the Lions offense down multiple starters on the offensive line and now without its top two pass-catchers in St. Brown and tight end Sam LaPorta (back), Goff will have to shoulder more of the playmaking workload in Detroit. Goff has typically struggled in that role throughout his career, but his performance against Green Bay could be considered a positive sign that he can keep the Lions' offense afloat through its injury woes. In Week 14, Goff will face a Dallas Cowboys defense that looks much more formidable after its trade deadline additions.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (leg) was a full participant in practice again on Friday and will be ready to go on Sunday for a divisional clash against the Houston Texans in Week 13, according to Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star. "We would never put him out there if we thought something could go wrong," head coach Shane Steichen said. The 28-year-old Jones is working through a fractured fibula, but he has been practicing and will continue to play through the injury moving forward. Jones is a leading candidate for Comeback Player of the Year in the AFC in 2025, throwing for 2,840 yards, 17 touchdowns, and five interceptions through the first 12 weeks. His leg injury will be something to closely monitor, though, and fantasy managers should consider him a QB2 this weekend against the No. 1 defense in the NFL.
