Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Patrick Mahomes

Thursday, September 28, 11:32 PM

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 19 of his 28 passing attempts for 210 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Thursday Night Football victory over the Green Bay Packers. Goff needs a massive yardage total or multiple touchdowns to pay dividends for fantasy managers since he has limited rushing upside, so it was a letdown fantasy performance. However, the team relied on David Montgomery (34 touches) and held a lead for the entire game. When the Lions' are in more pass-happy game scripts, Goff will be back in QB1 contention.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) practiced in full all week. In Week 3, there was a brief scare after his ankle was rolled up on but the quarterback remained in the game and did not seem to be affected in the victory against the Chicago Bears. The 28-year-old suffered no setbacks in practice and is ready to go in Week 4 against the New York Jets. In spite of their woes on the offensive side of the ball, the Jets defense has been surprisingly resilient. In the season opener against the Bills, the team intercepted Josh Allen three times and through the first three weeks of 2023, are allowing opposing quarterbacks just 231 yards per game. Regardless, Mahomes is a must-start in Week 4.
