Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Lamar Jackson

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.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Friday that quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) is a full-go for Sunday's contest against the division-rival Cleveland Browns in Week 11. There was some concern over Jackson's status after he did not practice on Wednesday, but he was only dealing with a sore knee and returned to a full practice the following day. The 28-year-old two-time MVP missed some time earlier this year with a hamstring strain, but this weekend will be his third game back in action. The four-time Pro Bowler currently leads the NFL in touchdown percentage (10.2), adjusted yards gained per pass attempt (10.23), and passer rating (127.1) while throwing for 1,249 yards, 15 touchdowns, and only one interception in six starts. Despite facing a decent Browns defense, Jackson is a no-doubt, must-start at the QB position in fantasy.
