Top QBs To Start in Week 16
Jared Goff, Detroit Lions (at MIN)
Jared Goff may be on the road, but at least he’s playing indoors. He is coming off of an absolutely dominant effort on Saturday night against the Denver Broncos — 278 pass yards and five touchdowns — and has multiple passing touchdowns in each of his past five games when playing in a weather-proof environment.

As for the Minnesota Vikings, they forced Cincinnati Bengals QB Jake Browning into one bad pass over four quarters (324 yards, two TDs, and one INT), allowing the inexperienced signal-caller to look comfortable throughout. Over 70% of yardage gained against the Vikings comes through the air, and Goff should be able to exploit that in a significant way on Sunday.
