Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Josh Allen

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is coming off his best game of the year in a loss to Buffalo. He will try to continue that positive momentum in a Week 16 matchup at the Chicago Bears. The Bears' defense is tops in the NFL in allowing the fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. It's a tough road tilt for Goff but the quarterback still sets up well from a fantasy perspective and should continue his hot stretch for fantasy managers needing a good playoff performance. With David Montgomery out, the Lions offense will lean on Jahmyr Gibbs in the backfield but the passing game should be more featured without the team's big bruiser. Goff will likely not throw as much as he did against Buffalo, but even with reduced volume, he should put up nice numbers on the road.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (hand) played through a broken hand for most of this season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Allen reportedly suffered the fracture while diving on a scoring play in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, and he has been treating the injury ever since. The broken hand only makes Allen's MVP-caliber season all the more impressive. The 28-year-old has been spectacular under center, completing 64.4 percent of his passes for 3,395 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, and five interceptions. He also has 484 rushing yards and a whopping 11 touchdowns, pushing the Bills to an 11-3 record so far.
