Should I start Justin fields tonight (vs Denver) or Jared Goff (vs Green Bay)?

Also bonus question, should I start Kyle pitts (vs jax) or Luke musgrave (vs Detroit)?

Ppr 12 team. Thanks in advance

I’m done with fields until he consistently turns it around. I am using Goff now.
That league I am 1-2. I would be 3-0 if I had started Goff from the beginning. I’m sticking with Goff.

Fields has been dropped in my 2 leagues.

I can definitely understand that reasoning. Fields against a bad Denver defense seems tempting though. Tough decision.

Depends on how you feel about your matchup. Fields and Pitts give you the highest ceiling while Goff and Musgrave give you the safest floor.

I'm rolling with Stroud over Fields

Do not listen to me. I am giving Fields one more week only because it's the Broncos. After that he is going straight to the bench until he gets right.

I love Goff when he is at home, but he doesn't seem to play as well on the road. However, he does have St. Brown and that should make for a TD or 2 alone. Again, do not listen to me! Just stating what I am doing and I understand the risk.

Good-luck with whatever you decide to do.

Stroud has been solid this year. I really like him.

Now I am struggling with a decision in one league where my options are Goff, Love, or Burrow.

I'd like to give Fields another week, but I'm 0-3. Don't think I can risk it.

Yet somehow Goff on the road on a Thursday also feels risky

Stroud might have some trouble with a strong Steelers DL & still some injuries on the Texans OL.

Goff should be a safe floor.

But I’ll be the guy to say it… start Fields against the Broncos.

I would probably go with Goff, but he is on the road. Goff has the most variance in his home/away splits of any QB in the NFL.

Since the beginning of last year, these are his fantasy points (6 point pass TD):

Home 19.50, 34.04, 41.22, 20.64, 15.38, 21.60, 25.60, 32.10, 28.4, 28.92, 20.02 - Average 26.13 with 9 of 11 over 20 points

Away 15.88, 5.86, 1.52, 16.84, 6.50, 16.08, 31.70, 9.46, 16.02 - Average 13.32 with 1 of 9 over 20 points

He is a great streaming QB. Just start him at home.
