Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Joe Burrow

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.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) made his return in Thursday's win over the Baltimore Ravens after being sidelined since the Week 2 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The signal-caller showed signs of rust, although he still finished the night by throwing for 261 yards and two touchdowns. Granted, Burrow had trouble completing some of his passes (24-for-46). Still, fantasy managers were pleased with the end result, especially since he hasn't played in over two months, doing so without Tee Higgins (concussion). With the Bengals desperately trying to keep their playoff hopes alive, the 2020 No. 1 overall pick should play better in the Week 14 meeting with the Bills, a team that has struggled on the defensive side of the ball of late.
