Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Kyler Murray

Wednesday, December 3, 9:17 PM

Across 12 games this season, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has completed 69.8% of his pass attempts for 3,025 yards, 25 touchdowns, and five interceptions. However, his supporting cast in Detroit is as depleted as it's been all season heading into his Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The Lions will be without tight ends Brock Wright (neck) and Sam LaPorta (back), as well as wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle). Most importantly, star wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) did not practice all week and is questionable to play against Dallas due to the low ankle sprain he suffered in Week 13. On paper, the Cowboys look like a favorable matchup for Goff. Through 13 weeks, Dallas has allowed the most passing yards (3,234) and touchdowns (28) of any NFL team. The Cowboys have been better in the second half of the season, but they still allowed four touchdown passes in Week 13 to the Kansas City Chiefs. While his outlook would obviously be improved if St. Brown is active, Goff profiles as a solid fantasy QB1 in Week 14.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Monday that surgery isn't currently on the table for quarterback Kyler Murray (foot), according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. "To my knowledge, not right now. That's as honest as I can answer it. I have not heard that. No," Gannon said. Murray is eligible to be activated from Injured Reserve, but the Cardinals will not open his 21-day practice window this week because he's simply not ready to return to practice following his foot sprain back in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The 28-year-old will not return this week when the team faces the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, and it remains to be seen if he'll be in play for Week 15 versus the Houston Texans. The Cardinals have been non-committal on whether Murray will even take the starting QB job back from Jacoby Brissett, who has led a much more explosive offensive attack with Murray sidelined.
