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.
