The were relentle s and aggre sive in trying to get their quarterback of the future in the . They were succe sful when they selectedat Seth Curry Jersey 10th overall after a slight trade-up with the New York Jets.One of the big questions coming out of the NFL draft was how the Vikings had the quarterback cla s stacked. Who was their preferred Chris Webber Jersey option? Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated believes the Vikings had it Maye then McCarthy.As for how the teams had the guys ranked, the Vikings really dove in on the guys after the top Raul Neto Jersey two, and hadMaye(for whom they offered 11, 23 and a 2025 first-rounder, with pick swaps favoring them bringing some value back), thenMcCarthy.I think the beginning part of Breer's statement is important. The Vikings "really dove in on the guys after the top two" tells us that they Matisse Thybulle Jersey were relatively set in stone for months and that made the proce s a little bit more Ben Simmons Jersey focused with Maye, McCarthy, Michael Penix Jr. and Bo Nix.Will McCarthy be the biggest hit of the bunch? That remains to be seen, but anything is po sible when you have the best situation of the group.

Week 12 brings a break from byes with a full game feast starting with a tripleheader on Thanksgiving. Having a full complement of start 'em, sit 'em options sounds great, but it can actually create more headaches for fantasy football owners obse sing over every roster decision ahead of the stretch run. Fortunately, Sporting News' NFL writer Vinnie Iyer is here to help with his latest helping of lineup advice.Even with no teams on bye, injuries remain an i sue. Justin Fields (left shoulder), Matthew Stafford (concu sion), Gus Edwards (hamstring), Leonard Fournette (hip), Joe Mixon (concu sion), Mike Williams (ankle), Marquise Brown (foot), Ja'Marr Chase (hip), Jerry Jeudy (ankle), JuJu Smith-Schuster (concu sion), and Gerald Everett (groin) are among the key players iffy to play. We also have to factor in matchups, recent performance, weather, and other factors.Navigating through all the potential starting options, here are our must-starts and start 'em sit 'em recommendations for Week 12.

The GOAT after a bye means excellent digits on the Browns' defense.Geno Smith, Seahawks (vs. LV). Seattle should be able to do whatever it wants downfield against the Raiders' porous pa s defense.Jimmy Garoppolo, 49ers (vs. NO). He's the ace distributor for a bunch of after-the-catch explosive weapons, and he will ride them to more nice production at home.Derek Carr, Raiders (at SEA). He's going to put up plenty of garbage stats with high volume opposite Geno Smith.Kirk Cousins, Vikings (vs. NE). He'll find his way to decent numbers, something like 250 yards and two TDs, grinding on the Patriots to reverse some of his majorly bad prime-time vibes.Jacoby Bri sett, Browns (vs. TB). He should be busy opposite Tom Brady, and this is his last chance to audition for a job with Deshaun Watson returning in Week 13.Taylor Heinicke, Commanders (vs. ATL). He's done little Mack Wilson Jersey in two big wins the past two weeks, but this matchup screams for big plays from his myriad versatile weapons.Ryan Tannehill, Titans (vs. CIN). He's been solid playing off the run the past couple of games, and it continues here opposite Joe Burrow vs. a weakened pa s defense.DFS TargetsFanDuel cash game pickJustin Herbert, Chargers (at ARI, $7,900). Herbert is the best of the elite QBs at the nicest price/matchup combination. Around 300 yards and three TDs is actually a reasonable expectation.DraftKings tournament pickDerek Carr, Raiders (at SEA, $5,700). He's bound to get the big volume, and he's been providing a good return on investment lately.Streamer SpecialMatt Ryan, Colts (vs. PIT). The Steelers' secondary still has plenty of holes in short-to-intermediate coverage, and that's Ryan's game at the moment. He can sneak into 250 yards and two TDs playing off the run.WEEK 12 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | Weaker startsDak Prescott, Cowboys (vs. NYG). This feels like a defensive-minded grinder of a game based on the rushing attack, and he might not get the TDs to please as a QB1.Daniel Jones, Giants (at DAL). See the above Prescott analysis.Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars (vs. BAL). He can get some numbers with his wideouts and tight ends, but it's likely to be me sy with limited yardage.Marcus Mariota, Falcons (at WAS). The Commanders' defense has fixed many things of late, and now Mariota doesn't even have Kyle Pitts.Aaron Rodgers, Packers (at PHI). The road has been brutal for them, and it will only get worse in Philly.Jared Goff, Lions (vs Damien Harris Jersey . BUF). He isn't reliable for yardage or TDs at the moment, especially against the Bills.Ru sell Wilson, Broncos (at CAR). Let Ru s sit. Let's ride without him forever.Andy Dalton, Saints (at SF). Don't chase the Rams game. It's not happening here.WEEK 12 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | RB must-startsAustin Ekeler, Chargers (vs. ARI)Jonathan Taylor, Colts (vs. PIT)Kenneth Walker, Seahawks (vs. LV)Derrick Henry, Titans (vs. CIN)Saquon Barkley, Giants (at DAL)Nick Chubb, Browns (vs. TB)Christian McCaffrey, 49ers (vs. NO)Jeff Wilson Jr., Dolphins (vs. HOU)Rachaad White, Buccaneers (at CLE)Dalvin Cook, Vikings (vs. NE)Rhamondre Stevenson, Patriots (at MIN)Tony Pollard, Cowboys (vs. NYG)Josh Jacobs, Raiders (at SEA)Samaje Perin,Bengals (at TEN)Travis Etienne Jr., Jaguars (vs. BAL)Dameon Pierce, Texans (at MIA)Aaron Jones, Packers (at PHI)Alvin Kamara, Saints (at SF)James Conner, Cardinals (vs. LAC)Stronger starts Devin Singletary, Bills (at DET). He should stay hot with another TD working ahead of James Cook in a run-heavier offense.Miles Sanders, Eagles (vs. GB). Sanders is still the main guy in this backfield, and the Packers have been very giving on the ground of late.David Montgomery, Bears (at NYJ). He's getting big volume without Khalil Herbert (hip), and that will continue with Justin Fields (left shoulder) also hurting.Antonio Gibson, Commanders (vs. ATL). He's the top back still in this offense, and he can crush the Falcons from scrimmage.Latavius Murray, Broncos (at CAR). He's the main man by default, and the Panthers wilt most against the run.Michael Carter, Jets (vs. CHI). James Robinson isn't that interesting, but Carter's usage should be strong against a sieve of a run defense.Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys (vs. NYG). Zeke tends to play the Giants well, and he'll find the end zone again with around 60 yards.Damien Harris, Patriots (at MIN).Rhamondre Stevenson and Harris are the lifeblood of the Patriots' offense, and the Cowboys showed everyone the blueprint for succe s against Minnesota last week.Elijah Mitchell, 49ers (vs. NO). He should be the closer again, and there's a good chance he pops in a TD, too.DFS targetsFanDuel cash game picksJeff Wilson Jr., Dolphins (vs. HOU, $7,700). He was a great play before Raheem Mostert (knee) was ruled out, and he's even greater now, even with high ownership.James Conner, Cardinals (vs. LAC, $7,000). He should be used well with the pa sing game back with its key downfield weapons and the matchup is too good to ignore.DraftKings tournament picksJeff Wilson Jr., Dolphins (vs. HOU, $5,900). Wilson is a must-play in either format or any price on either site.Kenneth Walker, Seahawks (vs. LV, $6,900). He has a chance to have another Joshuah Bledsoe Jersey blowup game against the soft Raiders' run defense at home after a bye.WEEK 12 DFS: Weaker startsJamaal Williams, Lions (vs. BUF). He's been great around the goal line, but Williams can't be trustedwith limited opportunities this week. D'Andre Swift also can't be trusted vs. the Bills' cover linebackers.D'Onta Foreman, Panthers (vs. DEN). It's not a good matchup at home in what figures to be an ugly, low-scoring game.Najee Harris, Steelers (at IND). It's hard to run on the Colts, especially on the road in prime time.Cordarrelle Patterson, Falcons (at WAS). The Commanders have become stingy against the run and can shut him down with his limited volume. Also, avoid Tyler Allgeier.Brian Robinson Jr., Commanders (vs. ATL). The rookie runs well, but this is more of an Antonio Gibson game. Robinson doesn't do enough as a pa s-catcher to supplement his rushing stats.Isiah Pacheco, Chiefs (vs. LAR). The rookie runs well, but this is a pa sing team all the way. There's no indication he'll be more involved in the pa sing game either.Kenyan Drake, Ravens (at JAX). The matchup seems OK, but he's hard to trust with Gus Edwards (hamstring) set to be back in the mix.Cam Akers and Kyren Williams, Rams (at KC). Who knows what they will do on the ground with no pa sing game? Stay away.Kareem Hunt, Browns (vs. TB) and AJ Dillon, Packers (at PHI). Why are we still playing these little usage complementary backs?WEEK 12 DFS LINEUPS: | WR must-startsStefon Diggs, Bills (at DET)Davante Adams, Raiders (at SEA)Tyreek Hill, Dolphins (vs. HOU)Jaylen Waddle, Dolphins (vs. HOU)Justin Jefferson, Vikings (vs. NE)DeAndre Hopkins, Cardinals (vs. LAC)A.J.

Pickens is a tough matchup for any outside corner, even Stephon Gilmore.Allen Lazard and Christian Watson, Packers (at PHI). The matchup isn't great vs. Darius Slay and James Bradberry, but they should see good volume and have a shot at a garbage TD.Jakobi Meyers, Patriots (at MIN). He should get back on track against their shaky corners working inside or outside.Curtis Samuel, Commanders (vs. ATL). He's getting the ball in scoring situations, and the Falcons can't slow down the former Panther much.Josh Palmer and Keenan Allen, Chargers (at ARI). The Cardinals' coverage is deteriorating fast, and this duo will have another strong night together.Garrett Wilson, Jets (vs. CHI). He will benefit big-time if there's a QB change. Either way, he gets a nice matchup against a weak secondary.Donovan Peoples-Jones, Browns (vs. TB). He's been a solid WR3 for multiple weeks, and now he's even scoring. The Bucs aren't particularly scary in coverage either.Tyler Boyd, Bengals (at TEN). He canwork the slot well after what Randall Cobb did. If Chase (hip) remains out, Boyd will produce with good volume.Parris Campbell, Colts (vs. PIT). He's too involved with high volume to avoid in this favorable spot on the home fast track.Treylon Burks, Titans (vs. CIN). No Chidobe Awuzie means Burks will be busy again.Drake London, Falcons (at WAS). He has a good chance to score a TD as the nece sary main target for Marcus Mariota.Allen Robinson, Rams (at KC). He's a good bet to score in garbage time with whoever is at QB as L.A.'s default No. 1.Demarcus Robinson, Ravens (at JAX). He's the clear No. 1 outside, and his Week 11 performance was so promising.DFS targetsFanDuel cash game picksChristian Kirk, Jaguars (vs. BAL, $7,700). Kirk steps into another great slot matchup with probable high volume.DK Metcalf, Seahawks (vs. LV, $7,200). Metcalf should crush the Raiders' outside coverage and do what Courtland Sutton couldn't do because Geno has been better than Ru s.Josh Palmer, Chargers (at ARI, $6,800). There's no Mike Williams (ankle) again, and he's locked into another ma sive role.DraftKings tournament picksMike Evans, Buccaneers (at CLE, $6,700). He should have some major big-play potential outside playing off the run with a shot at multiple scores.Terry McLaurin, Commanders (vs. ATL, $5,800). He can be very scary against the Falcons secondary with a floor of 100 yards and a TD.Josh Palmer, Chargers (at ARI, $5,400). He also showed last week that he can absolutely blow up in the right matchup, and the Cardinals just gave up a pair of two-TD games.Weaker startsDarius Slayton, Giants (at DAL). This is a brutal spot for him with the coverage attention on him.D.J. Moore, Panthers (vs. DEN). Pat Surtain II is certain to shut him down regardle s of the QB.Diontae Johnson, Steelers (at IND). It hasn't been happening, and it won't happen again against a good secondary.Brandin Cooks, Texans (at MIA). He Cody Davis Jersey 'll be quieted by Xavien Howard.Darnell Mooney, Bears (at NYJ). Whether it's Sauce Gardner or D.J. Reed covering him, this is not a trustworthy spot for Mooney.Nico Collins, Texans (at MIA). Anything in this pa sing offense is shaky because of Davis Mills.Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Chiefs (at LAR). They still don't need him much relative to other healthy weapons.Adam Thielen, Vikings (vs. NE). The Patriots' defense is better in the slot than outside.Michael Gallup, Cowboys.In theory, Gallup has a good shot at a big play or two, but you can't trust his execution.Devin Duvernay, Ravens (at JAX). In theory, Duvernay has a good shot at a big play or two, but you can't trust his execution.Mack Hollins, Raiders (at SEA). In theory, Hollins has a good shot at a big play or two, but you can't trust his execution.TE must-startsTravis Kelce, Chiefs (vs. LAR)Mark Andrews, Ravens (at JAX)George Kittle, 49ers (vs. NO)Pat Freiermuth, Steelers (at IND)T.J. Hockenson, Vikings (vs. NE)Dalton Schultz, Cowboys (vs. DAL)Tyler Higbee, Rams (at KC)Stronger startsDavid Njoku, Browns (vs. TB). The Buccaneers can be giving to tight ends, and he should find more room than last week.Dawson Knox, Bills (at DET). Knox led the team in receiving yards last week and steps into a nice spot on the same Ford Field.Gerald Everett, Chargers (at ARI). If he can return from his groin injury, he would step into the league's most beautiful matchup for tight ends.Evan Engram, Jaguars (vs. BAL). The Ravens are vulnerable in the middle of the field based on their coverage scheme.Foster Moreau, Raiders (at SEA). This is another great spot for tight ends, and Moreau should find the end zone for the second time this season.Logan Thomas, Commanders (vs. Brandon Bolden Jersey ATL). He's a sneaky streamer with full health in a favorable matchup.Hayden Hurst, Bengals (at TEN). He's another sneaky streamer with full health in a favorable matchup.Will Di sly, Seahawks (vs. LV). He is still sharing with Noah Fant, but he's the better TD shot in this matchup.DFS targetsFanDuel cash game and DraftKings tournament pickMark Andrews, Ravens (at JAX, $7,300 and $6,500). GeorgeKittle and Travis Kelce will get plenty of attention with folks chasing their multiple-score games, but it's Andrews' turn this week. Lamar Jackson will get the pa sing game back on track with his main man.Weaker startsGreg Dulcich, Broncos (at CAR). Dulcich is big-play-or-bust, and here's feeling the latter in a low-scoring game.Juwan Johnson, Saints (at SF). Johnson is also big-play-or-bust,and here's once again feeling the latter. You can also avoid rolling the dice on Taysom Hill.Cole Kmet, Bears (at NYJ). The over/under for this game is too low for us to be excited about a middling TE.Tyler Conklin, Jets (vs. CHI). You can't go here with this ambiguous and bad pa sing game.Hunter Henry, Patriots (at MIN). He should be more involved, but he just isn't.Austin Hooper, Titans (vs. CIN). Don't chase the random Packers game.Mike Gesicki, Dolphins (vs. HOU). They won't need him to blow out the Texans.Trey McBride, Cardinals (vs. LAC).

Let Ru s get sacked and give up the ball.DFS targetsFanDuel cash game pickBroncos (at CAR, $3,900). They are in a terrific spot for making big plays on the road, and they are surprisingly cheap on FanDuel.DraftKings tournament pickChiefs (vs. LAR, $2,800). They are in a smash spot at home to tee off against a reeling, injury-riddled offense.Weaker startsBengals (at TEN). Not against Derrick Henry.Titans (vs. CIN).

You can't chase the Rams' performance against a much better offense.

and are about to face each other in the playoffs for the first time, with a Super Bowl berth on the line.Sunday's AFC Championship Game between the and is bound to be one that helps define legacies, with plenty to gain for both Jackson, the overwhelming favorite to win his second NFL MVP award this season, and Mahomes, who already has two MVPs and two Super Bowl titles to his name.Both quarterbacks are Xavier Woods Jersey aware of the stakes, but they have nothing but positive things to say about each other."He's going to be the MVP for a reason," Mahomes when asked about Jackson on Wednesday. "He does whatever it takes to win, and that's what the greats do."ADVERTISEMENT And Jackson kept things similarly blunt when a reporter asked him Wednesday what he likes about facing Mahomes."I don't like competing against him at all," Jackson . "He's a great quarterback. It's a no-brainer, he's definitely a Hall of Famer. I believe it's just two greats, up-and-coming greats going Eric Kendricks Jersey toe-to-toe, like a heavyweight fight."Jackson and Mahomes' budding rivalry has been must-see since the two burst on the scene in their first years as starting quarterbacks in 2018, both leading their teams to the playoffs with Mahomes winning his first MVP. Then in 2019, Jackson won his first MVP while Mahomes won his first Super Bowl. While Mahomes has more accolades as well as the head-to-head record the Chiefs are 3-1 against the Ravens when Mahomes and Jackson have faced off Jackson has a chance to strike a definitive blow in their first playoff matchup.Could this rivalry eventually echo the great clashes between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning that dominated the AFC for well over a decade? First Things First's Chris Brou sard says it's the closest thing to the Manning-Brady rivalry, more so than Mahomes' battles with the ' , seen in last week's Chiefs' divisional-round victory.Lamar Jackson vs. Patrick Mahomes the new Brady-Manning rivalry? "It's certainly more Manning-Brady than Josh Allen and Mahomes is," Brou sard said. "Both of them are going to have two MVPs, both of them have two first-team All-Pro awards, and obviously they've been to multiple Pro Bowls. You can throw Joe Burrow-Mahomes in there and obviously Burrow beating them in the playoffs, maybe C.J. Stroud will continue to emerge, who knows? But this is definitely more than Josh Allen-Mahomes. Josh Allen, all he has are two Everson Griffen Jersey Pro Bowls."Brou sard's co-host Nick Wright agreed with the caveat that Jackson still has some catching up to do to reach Mahomes."It's a better question, because Lamar has some real pelts on the wall," Wright said. "Lamar, from the individual honors perspective, he has the same trophy case as Mahomes, or he will here in a couple weeks. He'll have two MVPs. But I and this is not disrespectful to Lamar don't think Mahomes has a rival."Wright compared Mahomes' current standing in the NFL to that of Tiger Woods in golf or Wayne Gretzky in hockey during their primes, where they had rivals, but nobody else considered fully at their standard. While Brady is now widely seen as head Myles Dorn Jersey and shoulders above Manning in the annals of NFL history, Wright pointed out that was not the case during their rivalry."People have totally forgotten that for 15 years, that was a real argument," Wright said.Lamar Jackson vs. Patrick Mahomes = next best QB rivalry? Wright cited Manning's iconic comeback win over Brady in the 2006 AFC Championship Game, pointing out that Manning beat Brady twice in two more AFC Championship Games in 2013 and 2015, and then reached three more Super Bowls, while Brady had to wait eight more years after that 2006 game until he won another Super Bowl."The day Peyton Manning retired, the Super Bowls were 4-2 Brady, the MVPs were 5-2 Peyton, and Peyton was up 3-2 in the playoff matchups," Wright said. "There was a real argument. The problem is after Peyton retired, Brady went to three straight Super Bowls, went to another one a couple years later, Jake Bargas Jersey won another league MVP and distorted the argument."But during the entirety of Peyton Manning's playing career, there was a real debate about who was better between him and Brady . That is not the case with Patrick Mahomes, if anyone's having an honest debate about it."Wright said Jackson will have a chance to become Mahomes' primary rival, perhaps alongside the Bengals' Joe Burrow, if he leads the Ravens to a win Sunday and then a Super Bowl title. But he believes Jackson has a much longer way to go if he wants to challenge Mahomes' status as the best quarterback in football."I don't believe that title is up for grabs for the time being," Wright said.

will remain with the for the 2020 season. On Monday, Pittsburgh' Ray Guy Jersey s outside linebacker was franchise tagged by the Steelers, the team that selected him with the 22nd overall pick in the 2015 draft. The tag will pay Dupree, for the 2020 season, per CBS Sports contributor Joel Corry. Dupree made $9.2 million last season after the Steelers decided to pick up his fifth-year option the previous spring.The 27-year-old pa s rusher Charles Woodson Jersey is coming off his best season with the black and gold. In 2019, Dupree set career highs with 11.5 sacks, 68 tackles, 16 tackles for lo s, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Dupree's succe s helped the Steelers finish first in the NFL in sacks and turnovers forced, third in fewest yards per rush allowed, third in pa sing yards allowed, and sixth in red zone efficiency."You always want to finish what you start," Dupree said about following the team's regular season finale, via ESPN's Brooke Pryor. Cliff Branch Jersey "That lets you know you had a good career. And a way to let people know who believe in you."Last season, Dupree and 2019 All-Pro T.J. Watt developed into arguably the most formidable outside linebacker duo in the NFL. Watt, the team's first-round pick in 2017, led the NFL with eight forced fumbles last season. He also recorded a team-high 14.5 sacks, the third highest Mike Haynes Jersey single season total in franchise history. Watt and Dupree's production started to increase in 2018, when the two switched positions heading into the season.Dupree is part of a defense that boasts eight former first-round picks: Watt, defensive tackles Cam Heyward and , linebacker , cornerback , and safeties and . The unit was a major reason why the Steelers remained in playoff contention Ken Stabler Jersey throughout the 2019 season despite losing two weeks into the season with an elbow injury. Big Ben, who began throwing following surgery last month, is hoping to be back at full strength by the time the regular season begins.Watt, who has recorded 34.5 sacks in three seasons with the Steelers, is expected to receive an extension at some point this offseason.

may have kicked the hornet's nest when he decided to get into a war of words with . Throughout the century, George Karlaftis Jersey opposing players that decided to get into a verbal exchange with Brady end up regretting that decision. Not only did Jones prove the opposite, but he also proved that the are nothing to fear through 13 games, despite their 10-3 record.Anything to get in Brady's head, especially with an offense that scored just 16 points, seven of which came from a trick play."Just crap Devon Key Jersey -talking," Jones said of his exchange with Brady late in the second quarter of the Chiefs' 23-16 victory, . "Tom is a heck of a quarterback, a Hall of Famer. Any time you're able to talk crap, you gotta affect him any type of way. I got much respect for Tom Brady, man."He's definitely a GOAT in my eyes JuJu Smith-Schuster Jersey , one of the greatest. Any time you're able to affect his game any type of way, whether it's talking, whether it's hitting him, whether it's getting him uncomfortable, you got to."Jones wasn't worried about the consequences of his actions, but did he think all of that had any effect?"I mean, you see the score," Jones said in response.Jones and Brady bashed helmets with the holding a 17-7 lead late in the first half and the Patriots offense getting off the field on third down. After Brady threw an incompletion, Jones got in Brady's face which prompted the six-time Super Bowl champion quarterback to retaliate.The Jones exchange wasn't brought up to Brady after the game, which Willie Lanier Jersey is the last of the quarterback's concerns. Not when his offense puts up 278 yards and goes 2-of-12 on third down situations."I mean, I think we're just trying to figure out what works," Brady said. "So, I think you have an idea and then you see how the game unfolds and then you've got to make some adjustments. So, we tried to make some adjustments there in the second half. They threw a lot of different defenses at us, some we handled pretty good, others we Nick Bolton Jersey didn't. It was a good game by them."

When Jared Goff was traded Coleman Shelton Jersey from the Rams to the Lions, it changed the trajectory of his career.While Goff enjoyed some peaks in Los Angeles, he ultimately came up short in his quest to deliver the Rams a Super Bowl. Ultimately, Sean McVay opted to look for a more established quarterback, and that led the Rams to trade Goff for Matthew Stafford.Since then, Goff has continued to work on his game, showing gradual improvement and becoming a rock-solid quarterback. He has ledDetroit on its deepest playoff run since 1992 and could potentially get the team to its first-ever Super Bowl with a win over the 49ers in the NFC championship game.Indeed, Goff is back in the spotlight, much like he was during his time with the Rams, who have been a perennial contender under McVay. That has allowed Goff to get more attention than he did in his first two seasons with the Lions, as iswont to happen when in the spotlight.With that has come some of the typical fun that occurs on the Internet.During the Lions' run in the 2024 NFL playoffs, many NFL fans have pointed out that Goff bears a likene s to famous actor Ryan Gosling.This is hardly a surprise. It's a comparison that Goff got a Kenny Young Jersey lot during his early days in Los Angeles, even before he was a star, profe sional quarterback there.POWER RANKINGS:Here's what to know about Jared Goff's lookalike and some side-by-side comparisons of the two.Jared Goff looks like Ryan GoslingGoff has been told that he looks like Gosling for a long time.Need proof? Take a look at what Goff posted to X (formerly Twitter) in 2012 after the Novato native to a quick trip to Los Angeles.Was told I look like Ryan gosling a few times in LA...I'll take it haha!! Jared Goff (@JaredGoff16) That well could have happened to Goff...or maybe it didn't and he was just Jeremiah Kolone Jersey joking about his similarities to the "Remember the Titans" star.At a minimum, Goff himself recognized that he was a Gosling lookalike from when he was just 17 years old. Thus, it's no surprise that NFL fans have noticed the same as he has gotten older.It's helped that Gosling has been thrust more into the spotlight in recent years. He has earned praise with his roles in Oscar-nominated films like The Big Short, La La Land, and Barbie, which recently earned him a "Best Supporting Actor" nomination for his role as Ken.MORE: With Goff's playoff succe s coming as Gosling earned Terrell Lewis Jersey that recognition, it's easy to understand why NFL fans were keen on comparing the two, especially given the similarity between their hair and face shapes.Below are some of the most notable social media posts about the connection, as well as some side-by-side comparisons of the Lions quarterback and Canadian actor.Ryan Gosling to play Jared Goff in football pic. Gary H. Miller (@brighton11boy) Anyone ever see Jared Goff & Ryan Gosling in 1 room at the same time? WizOfDudeowski (@A susReamus) jared goff and ryan gosling look like siblings i'm so serious T (@tori_allena) So Jared Goff is kind of the knockoff version of Ryan Gosling. Richard Yeselson (@yeselson) AFC + NFC Championship QB matchups GhettoGronk (@TheGhettoGronk) Cant wait to see Ryan Gosling play the lead role Matthew Orzech Jersey in Roar of the Lion: The Jared Goff Story. Steven Seagull (@Brockster310) Ryan Gosling as Jared Goff Stroud Boys Commander (@Blvcksby_) Of course, not everyone sees the resemblance between the two. Some compared and Goff to the likes of and .Still, a majority of fans seeking out Goff's doppelganger have settled on Gosling as the man to fill that role.Based on Goff's tweet from 2012, he'll be happy Kenough to continue drawing those comparisons.

The Los Angeles Chargers set their initial 53-man roster for about 24 hours. Then, true to his word, general manager Joe Hortiz got to work mining the league for depth and value.In a whirlwind of moves, the Chargers traded for backup quarterback Taylor Heinicke and defensive back Marvin Jones Jr. Jersey Elijah Molden, claimed running back Ha san Haskins off waivers, released safety JT Woods, and added 15 players to their practice squad.This followed months of post Tracy Walker III Jersey -draft roster building. From May to August, the Chargers also signed wide receiver DJ Chark, offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood, safety Tony Jefferson, tight end Tucker Fisk, interior defensive lineman Teair Tart, quarterback Luis Perez, and several others.Hortiz refuses to fall into the complacent habits of former Chargers general manager Tom Telesco. An NFL roster is never set-and-forget; yet, aside Ifeatu Melifonwu Jersey from perhaps one season, Telesco let the season come to him and watch as proactive teams pa sed up the franchise he led. Funny enough, the one time Telesco made a handful of post-draft moves they all paid off. Morgan Fox, Kyle Van Noy, and Bryce Callahan were all great post-draft signings that made significant contributions.It is refreshing to see a general manager feel the urgency, if not anxiety, that we have as Chargers fans. While not every move will pay off, there is at least an attempt to do what is best for the Jason Cabinda Jersey team. And, in the right hands, low-risk signings or trades can pay dividends as NFL Detroit Lions Jersey it appears Kristian Fulton, Chark, and Tart will this season. It is almost painful to see just how effective a good general manager can be, particularly more so now that Justin Herbert's rookie contract is ending. Fortunately, there is a new era of Chargers football, and it feels fantastic.

Although it looks far from the most important or exciting of tonights internationals, the outcome of this game could be e sential to the battle currently taking place in Group 6, to qualify for South Africa 2010.The fate of three teams from this group are virtually already decided. Andorra Hamsah Nasirildeen Jersey and Kazakhstan have very little chance of achieving qualification, collecting 0 and 3 points respectively so far. Leading the pack by some margin are England. With a 10-point advantage and only three more games to play, it is extremely unlikely that they will not be participating in next years World Cup.Who Nathan Shepherd Jersey will take second place, on the other hand, is a different story. Croatia, Ukraine and Belarus are all capable of finishing runners-up to England, which is why tonights game at the Dinamo stadium is a must win for both teams involved.Croatia are favourites, and no wonder; their squad consists of players from the Premier League, the Bundesliga, and several Champions League regulars. Belarus, on paper, look le s than impre sive, but their form will tell you otherwise. They have won three of their last four World Cup qualifiers, two of them with a four-goal deficit, and could well be the surprise package for next years tournament.Arsenal Quinnen Williams Jersey fans may be particularly interested in the game, as ex-Gooner Alexander Hleb and current starlet Eduardo da Silva line up against each other.Belarusian captain Hleb and young Croat Eduardo, in the red and white of ArsenalEduardo Noah Dawkins Jersey has only taken part in one of Croatias qualifying games so far, but made an immediate impact, scoring in a 2-0 victory against Andorra. Hleb, however, is the driving force of the team, easily his countrys best and most well known player. He will lead the team out despite not being 100% match fit, currently recovering from an injury sustained in Stuttgarts opening league game.Po sibleLine Ups:A near full strength squad for Belarus: Zhevnov; Sasnowski, Yurevich, Lentsevich, Shytaw; Kashevsky, Hleb, Kulchiy, Kalachev; Bulyha, Kutusov.Croatia welcome back Eduardo and Modric from injury: Pletikosa; Cale, Corluka, Simunic, Krizanac; Leko, Srna, Kranjcar, Modric; Olic, Eduardo.Player to Watch:Luka Modric. Croatias World Cup qualifying campaign has seen three Sheldrick Redwine Jersey goals and some excellent performances from the Spurs midfielder. Expect him to continue this good form tonight.Prediction:Belarus 0-2 Croatia. Despite the pluckine s of their opponents, Croatias superior quality will secure a comfortable victory.
