Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Jalen Milroe

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.

Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Jalen Milroe was a healthy inactive for Week 7's matchup against the Texans for the second consecutive game. Milroe had a designed carry each in Weeks 1 and 3, but then fumbled on his lone opportunity in Week 5's loss to Tampa Bay and has since settled into the QB3 role behind Drew Lock. It remains to be seen if the third-rounder out of Alabama will be active again at some point, with how well starter Sam Darnold has played. Milroe remains a solid stash in dynasty leagues.
