Who Should I Start? Matthew Stafford or Jared Goff

Thursday, November 27, 12:07 PM

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has played at an elite level this season, throwing 30 touchdowns to just two interceptions in 11 games. Stafford lit up the Bucs for three first-half touchdowns before throttling down in the second half in the Week 12 blowout win. The 37-year-old ranks as the QB4 in fantasy points per game this season, while his elite wide receiver duo of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams both rank in the top 10 for PPR points per game. Stafford profiles as a high-end QB1 again in Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers.

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.
