Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Dillon Gabriel

Saturday, November 22, 12:33 AM

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had one of his worst games in a Lions uniform in Week 11, completing just 14 of 37 pass attempts for 255 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. On paper, Goff has a much easier matchup in Week 12 when Detroit hosts the New York Giants. Through 11 weeks, the Giants have allowed the sixth-most passing yards (2,641) in the NFL. New York will also remain without cornerback Paulson Adebo (knee), who has been out since Week 7 with a knee injury. The Lions are dealing with some health issues themselves, as Goff will be without tight end Sam LaPorta (back), and multiple Detroit offensive linemen are playing through nagging injuries. Still, Goff could have a chance to do damage against the struggling Giants defense and profiles as a must-start fantasy QB1 in Week 12.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dillon Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Despite returning to practice on Friday, Gabriel won't be active this weekend. He hasn't fully cleared concussion protocol, so he won't suit up. In his absence, Shedeur Sanders will make his first career NFL start with Bailey Zappe backing him up. Gabriel wasn't lighting up the box score when he was healthy, so Sanders might be able to steal away the starting gig with a strong performance. Otherwise, Gabriel should be ready to go for the Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
