Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Sam Darnold

Sunday, November 2, 9:51 PM

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff did not have his cleanest game in Week 9, taking five sacks in his team's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Still, Goff managed to post solid production from a fantasy perspective, completing 25 of 37 pass attempts for 284 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The 31-year-old has now thrown for 1,915 yards, 17 touchdowns, and three interceptions across eight starts in 2025. Unfortunately for Goff, the Lions' pass protection issues may continue going forward as they lost starting left guard Christian Mahogany (leg) to a serious-looking leg injury in Week 9. Still, Goff has a favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 when the Lions travel to Washington to face the Commanders.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold torched the Washington Commanders' defense in a 38-14 blowout win on Sunday night, completing 21 of 24 pass attempts for 330 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. Darnold was on fire to start the game, posting a perfect 158.3 passer rating while completing all 16 passes and throwing four touchdowns in the first half. His receivers were running open all night, and he consistently delivered on time and on target. The 28-year-old has continued to excel in his first season in Seattle under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. Darnold's connection with superstar wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba has been the most potent in the league, adding another 129 yards on eight catches on Sunday night against Washington. Darnold will head back home for a divisional matchup against the Cardinals in Week 10.
