Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Jared Goff

Tuesday, December 31, 3:10 PM

Despite the fact that the Los Angeles Rams could fall from the No. 3 seed to the No. 4 seed in the NFC playoff picture with a loss in the Week 18 regular-season finale to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, head coach Sean McVay said that resting starters this weekend is "probably the direction that we'll go." The Rams have rested their starters with a playoff berth already secured throughout McVay's tenure as the head coach. McVay said he's looking forward to getting players like quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and rookie running back Blake Corum extended playing time. It means that fantasy managers still playing for a championship shouldn't be counting on Rams players like quarterback Matthew Stafford, receivers Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp and running back Kyren Williams in their lineups in Week 18.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 26 of his 34 pass attempts for 303 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Monday's Week 17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. He also lost three rushing yards on a trio of kneel-downs. The veteran quarterback has played fantastic, turnover-free football lately, racking up 1,133 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, and zero turnovers over his last three contests. Goff's big game moved him up to the overall QB6 in fantasy football this season, making him one of the few top fantasy quarterbacks who produce points without having much of a rushing impact. He remains a mid-range QB1 option heading into next week's pivotal matchup against the Minnesota Vikings with the NFC's No. 1 seed on the line.
