Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Kyler Murray

Friday, November 28, 11:06 AM

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.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) is eligible to return from Injured Reserve as early as Week 14, and while the team prepares for a Week 13 matchup with the Buccaneers, he was spotted putting in work off to the side with some of the team's athletic trainers. Veteran Jacoby Brissett has been the team's starter since Week 6 and has reinvigorated Arizona's passing offense. Brissett has averaged 314.5 passing yards across his six starts, while throwing at least two touchdowns in five of six. Trey McBride is currently the top-scoring fantasy tight end in the league, and with Marvin Harrioson Jr. (appendix) missing the past two games following an emergency appendectomy, Brissett has transformed Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch into week winners. While the result in the win-loss column has not been as favorable, it seems unlikely that Murray will reclaim the starting job anytime soon, and it's still possible he's already taken his last snap with the team.
