Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Taysom Hill

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.

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill has seen a minimal role in the offense since making his season debut in Week 5. Last week, Hill rushed the ball four times for 30 yards in their loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Normally, Hill doesn't see a ton of the field, but that could change in Week 10. Lead back Alvin Kamara (ankle) is currently questionable to suit up against the Carolina Panthers this weekend. That means, Devin Neal could be in line to start if Kamara is unable to go. It could also mean that Hill sees increased carries in the backfield. Fantasy managers should monitor Kamara's status and if he sits out then Hill could become a desperation option for this weekend.
