Who Should I Start? Jared Goff or Tua Tagovailoa

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had another strong season in 2025, completing 68% of his passes for 4,563 passing yards, 34 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. He also lost five fumbles. Goff ranked as the overall QB9 in fantasy football, delivering his fourth consecutive top-10 finish. The Lions dealt with a lot of adversity last season, including the departure of superstar offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, and Detroit ultimately missed the playoffs. However, from a fantasy perspective, Goff appeared unaffected. He turned in his lowest interception total since 2022, though his increased fumble total wasn't ideal. Part of Goff's fantasy success can be attributed to the superstar group of offensive weapons around him, but he deserves plenty of credit, too. The veteran quarterback has learned how to protect the football while still making aggressive passes that rack up yards or result in a touchdown. Goff doesn't have the rushing upside that makes so many fantasy quarterbacks great, but his talent as a passer keeps him in the top-10 range for 2026 redraft leagues. Dynasty managers might consider selling high on Goff, because he is a candidate for regression over the next few seasons, even if it doesn't happen right away.

Miami Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said that "everything is on the table, including the possibility of a trade," when asked about quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's status this offseason, according to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network. Sullivan said that Tagovailoa hasn't requested a trade. The Dolphins are in the process of finding a new franchise signal-caller, and their preference is a trade over a release. The 27-year-old former first-rounder hasn't officially asked for a trade, but he's made it pretty clear he's on board with a change of scenery after being benched late last season for Quinn Ewers. Tagovailoa threw for just 2,660 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions in 14 games last year after signing a four-year, $212.4 million contract in July of 2024. Along with his declining play, Tagovailo has a concerning history with concussions, and at best, he'll most likely be competing for a starting job somewhere else this summer.
