Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Jason Myers

Sunday, April 14, 1:58 PM

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, speaking on Sunday morning's episode of SportsCenter, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is expected to receive a contract extension worth $45-50 million per year. The veteran signal-caller has been open about his fondness for Detroit. It appears the franchise is also pleased with his performance, considering the Lions made it to the NFC Championship and narrowly beat the 49ers to earn a trip to the Super Bowl. Without a doubt, Goff has been instrumental in turning things around for the Lions. He finished the 2023-24 campaign by amassing 4,575 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions, some of the best numbers of his career. From a fantasy standpoint, Goff's stock has never been higher, especially since he has plenty of weapons in his arsenal, including Amon-Ra St. Brown, who finished the year as one of the league's most potent wideouts. Nonetheless, both sides still have some things to work out, although a new deal could come soon.

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts and connected on both extra-point tries in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The field goal attempts were from 24, 42, and 43 yards away. Myers has been perfect on extra-point attempts all season and he now has a four-game streak without a missed field goal. Myers' 33 made field goals are tied for second-most and only two behind league leader Brandon Aubrey. He will try to extend his streak to a fifth game when the Seahawks play the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Cardinals have only seen four field goal attempts in the last three weeks but opponents have scored 13 touchdowns in that time, so Myers figures to be involved one way or another in the last game of the regular season. Fantasy managers still playing in Week 18 can feel secure in giving Myers one last start.
