Who Should I Start? Kirk Cousins or Jared Goff

Sunday, September 24, 8:39 PM

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 32-of-50 passes for 367 yards and three touchdowns in the team's 28-24 loss versus the Chargers in Week 3. Despite the team's 0-3 start to the season, Cousins has been putting up some solid efforts for fantasy managers as he has benefited greatly from the pass-heavy offense. The veteran has averaged 46 pass attempts through three games, which will keep him a borderline must-start QB1 option moving forward. Cousins will look to lead the Vikings to their first win in Week 4 when they take on the Carolina Panthers on the road.

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.
