The NFL playoffs are underway, with eight teams still fighting for the right to be called Super Bowl champions.
All eight teams left in the playoffs have elite-level quarterbacks. Jayden Daniels, Jalen Hurts, and Jared Goff are still alive in the playoffs and were outstanding for fantasy players during the regular season.
However, which quarterback should fantasy players start in the Divisional Round of the playoffs?
Should I Start Jayden Daniels For Fantasy Football?
Daniels was the QB5 during the regular season, averaging 20.9 fantasy points per game. The rookie superstar had 25 passing touchdowns and six rushing scores during the regular season. Last week, he had two passing touchdowns in the win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The former LSU star faces the Detroit Lions on Saturday night. The Lions surrendered 19.6 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks during the regular season, the 10th-most in the NFL. Daniels could finish the week as the top-scoring fantasy quarterback.
Should I Start Jalen Hurts For Fantasy Football?
Hurts was the QB8 during the regular season after missing the final 2.5 games with a concussion, averaging 21 fantasy points per outing. Last week, the star quarterback had a solid performance in the win over the Green Bay Packers, totaling two passing touchdowns on only 21 attempts.

When the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams faced off in Week 12, Hurts had a quiet performance, totaling 179 passing yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Saquon Barkley had his best outing of the year, totaling 255 rushing yards and two scores. Fantasy players might want to avoid starting Hurts in the rematch.
Should I Start Jared Goff For Fantasy Football?
Goff quietly finished the regular season as the QB6, averaging 19.1 fantasy points per game. The former No. 1 NFL Draft pick had 37 passing touchdowns, a career-high and the fourth-most in the league.

The veteran quarterback has a solid matchup on Saturday night against the Washington Commanders. They surrendered 1.4 passing touchdowns per game to quarterbacks during the regular season. Goff isn’t the best quarterback option this week. Yet, he is one of the top two or three.

Terrance Ferguson - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2/FLEX with upside ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Rams passing attack will look quite different on Monday night when they face the New York Giants. The team just announced that star wideout Puka Nacua will not suit up due to a hip injury. While Davante Adams is […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
