Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Davis Mills

Friday, November 14, 10:32 PM

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had one of his best games of the season in Week 10, completing 25 of 33 pass attempts for 320 yards and three touchdowns in a 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders. Goff now gets a significantly more challenging matchup in Week 11 when the Lions travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia has allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (1,979) in the NFL, and they are tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (eight). To make matters worse, Goff will be without one of his top receiving weapons in tight end Sam LaPorta (back). If there's a reason for positivity about Goff's fantasy outlook in Week 11, it's the potential for pass volume. The Lions are underdogs against Philadelphia, and Goff is averaging 35 pass attempts per game in losses compared to 28 pass attempts per game in wins. Goff profiles as a fringe fantasy QB1 and a must-start quarterback in two QB formats in Week 11.

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills is likely to start again as C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains out of practice in concussion protocol. Mills was dynamic in the win over the Jaguars last week, completing 60% of his passes for 292 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Mills leaned heavily on Nico Collins (15 targets) and Dalton Schultz (11 targets) in the passing game. Head coach DeMeco Ryans clearly trusts Mills to make plays, which has been rewarded early. For teams in need of bye week help, Mills is an excellent option on the waiver wire heading into Week 11.
