So I am 5-5 and somehow in 3rd place. I picked up the ravens defense cause they got the panthers this week and I was surprised they weren’t picked up.I needed to pick up a wr cause Mike Williams is possibly not playing this week so I picked up Curtis Samuel. He was the best available. Now I have Danny Jones and Goff as my two other quarterbacks other then fields who I’m obviously not gonna put on the bench. But my question is this week who do I play Jones or Goff?

Jones hands down. Rushing upside and plays the lions. Dont even question it, lock it in.

Edit: id be shocked if someone argues differently.

I am a Goff fan with him throwing to St. Brown, but Danny Dimes rushing puts him in front. I would start Jones.

Giants have played some decent defense, Lions give up the most pts against QBs

Lions Pts Against QBs:
season long: worst
latest 4wks: worst
latest 2wks: 2nd worst

they are trending in the right direction, but hard to go any lower than league worst

TD dependent flex option. He could turn 2 touches into 2 TD's, or he could have 5 touches for 25 yards.

And another vote for Jones. Lions offense is nearly entirely dependent on 2nd half garbage time. I wouldn't want to bank on that when facing a team currently playing as well as the Gmen are

Lions offense is almost as 50/50 by half as you can get. Touchdowns are equal and they have slightly more yards in the first than the second half. They haven’t been great in the 3rd quarter though.

Those splits are severely skewed by the one game against Miami, who apparently forgot to show up for the first half and allowed 27 pts, then shut em out the rest of the way.

Given the context of the question being Goff v Jones, and 9 of Goff's 15 TD's being in the 4th quarter, that's pretty much what I was talking about. And outside of week 1 vs Philly, none of those 4th qrt passing TD's have come against a probable playoff team like the Gmen currently are set to be. (Unless Seattle can maintain their smoke and mirrors and win the West, 2 came against them).

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

No reason to carry 3 QB if this is redraft.
If you start Jones, cut Goff and get Slayton.

Jones, although Goff is probably gonna go wild downfield. He'll have no choice.
