Who Should I Start? Ryan Tannehill or Jared Goff

Friday, March 21, 10:16 PM

The Minnesota Vikings have had talks with former Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill about a potential deal, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Talks are ongoing but nothing is imminent at this moment. For the time being, the Vikings have told free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers that they are not interested and are moving ahead full steam with last year's first-rounder, J.J. McCarthy (knee), as their starting signal-caller in 2025. However, after both Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones left in free agency this offseason, the Vikes continue to search for QB insurance behind McCarthy, and Tannehill could be their guy. The 36-year-old didn't join a team for the 2024 season and played in only 10 games (eight starts) in his final season in Tennessee in 2023, throwing for 1,616 yards, four TDs and seven picks. If Tannehill joins the Vikings, it would strictly be as their backup behind McCarthy.

Through eight games so far this season, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has thrown for 1,915 yards, 17 touchdowns, and three interceptions. The 31-year-old has tossed multiple touchdown passes in five out of eight contests and is currently averaging eight yards per pass attempt. In Week 10, Goff gets a favorable matchup on paper against the Washington Commanders. Through nine weeks, Washington ranks last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19). The Commanders also lost top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (knee) to a season-ending ACL tear in Week 9. If there's reason for concern for Goff, it's the Lions' struggles on the offensive line. Goff has been sacked 14 times over his last four games after taking just four sacks over his first four outings. Still, Goff profiles as a low-end fantasy QB1 against Washington in Week 10.
