Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Josh Allen

Friday, November 14, 10:32 PM

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.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen completed 19 of his 30 pass attempts for 317 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He also added six rushing attempts, 40 rushing yards, and three rushing touchdowns. Allen was highly efficient in Sunday's explosive outing, both in terms of scoring and yardage. The two turnovers did make his job slightly harder, but he certainly made up for it with the six touchdowns. He continues to be a spectacular, must-start fantasy option and will rank as a high-end QB1 heading into Week 12 against the Houston Texans.
