Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Lamar Jackson

Friday, December 5, 1:41 AM

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 25 of his 34 pass attempts for 309 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions during Thursday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He took one sack and lost two rushing yards on a pair of kneels. Although the veteran quarterback didn't have the flashiest day throwing into the end zone, he still orchestrated eight different scoring drives and helped propel Detroit to a key victory that will massively boost their playoff odds. Goff has just two turnovers over his last six games, and he has at least 255 passing yards in each of those six contests. Next week, he'll head west for a revenge game against his old team, the Los Angeles Rams. Los Angeles has allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2025, but Goff's impressive play keeps him in the low-end QB1 tier for fantasy purposes.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson had a mediocre day as a passer in his team's Week 14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, completing 19 of 35 pass attempts for 219 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. However, Jackson recorded 43 rushing yards on seven attempts and scored his first rushing touchdown since Week 1. The 28-year-old missed four games in October due to a hamstring injury and hasn't quite been himself since his return, averaging under 20 rushing yards per game over his last five contests heading into Week 14. While Jackson's work through the air remained below his usual standard against Pittsburgh, fantasy managers can draw some hope from the work he did with his legs in Week 14. Even amidst his relative struggles, Jackson has explosive upside and remains a must-start fantasy quarterback heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.
