ADVICE

Pick Mayfield Over Goff In This Spot

  • Prefer Baker Mayfield over Jared Goff this week because Miami is a much easier matchup.
  • Avoid Goff against Minnesota's historically stingy pass defense unless you need upside and accept risk.
INSIGHT

Goff's Hot Streak Meets Minnesota Wall

  • Jared Goff is on a hot streak with top-10 finishes in six of eight games despite tough matchups.
  • Minnesota's defense and low opponent scoring can still turn Goff into a mid-week dud.
ADVICE

Start DeAndre Swift Over The Group

  • Start DeAndre Swift over Tony Pollard, Bucky Irving, and Tyrone Tracy in Week 17.
  • Swift offers the best floor and upside in this group against a 49ers defense that has yielded PPR points to backs.
