9) Jaxson Dart vs. Commanders
Dart and the Giants were off last weekend with their bye, and it came at the perfect time for the rookie signal caller. He had just returned in week 13 from a multiple-week absence due to a concussion, and the layoff looked like it affected Dart. He looked like he was going to run the ball as much as he did before the injury, until he got cleaned completely off of his feet while running down the sidelines in the first half against the Patriots. After that hit, he didn’t run nearly as much, ending the game with just four carries and zero rushing scores for just the second time in his eight starts this season. This week, I think the running game comes back against a Commanders defense that struggles to stop the run as well as the pass. I like Dart this week more than guys like Caleb Williams, Baker Mayfield, Brock Purdy, Jacoby Brissett, and Jordan Love.
10) Jared Goff vs. Rams
He returns to L.A. to face his former team, and he should have a healthier version of Amon-Ra St. Brown in the fold. This isn’t a fantastic matchup for Goff, but I think the Rams will be playing with the lead for most of the game, and I can see the Lions throwing the ball a ton this weekend. The Rams have a good pass rush, so Goff will take some shots, but there are yards to be had against this secondary that is ranked 16th in the league against the pass. He’s a good play for this week based on volume alone, even if he doesn’t have the rushing upside of some other options like Caleb Williams or even Trevor Lawrence.
