Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Jordan Love

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been a productive player through five weeks this season, recording 1,187 passing yards and 12 touchdowns compared to just two interceptions. However, he may be a quarterback for fantasy managers to move away from in a difficult Week 6 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (999) and fourth-fewest number of passing touchdowns (five) in the NFL so far this season. Additionally, Goff could be without starting left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder), which may limit Detroit's ability to push the ball downfield. In two-quarterback formats, Goff still profiles as a solid QB2, but he may be a player to avoid in Week 6 in single-QB leagues.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love had an awesome game for fantasy managers who started him in Week 4 against Dallas, tossing three touchdown passes to wide receiver Romeo Doubs and piling up 337 passing yards. He'll look to continue that strong play in Week 6 when the Packers host the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6. Love finished as fantasy's QB6 in Week 4, his first weekly finish as a top-ten quarterback since Week 6 of last season. It was also Love's first game with over 40 passing attempts since Week 4 of 2024. Passing volume isn't a regular thing for the Packers; it's more of an exception rather than the rule. If you're starting Love in Week 6, you're hoping the Bengals can score a bit, so the Packers get pushed to pass a bit more. Ultimately, Love is a viable starting quarterback for fantasy managers against a porous Bengals defense.
