Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had a nice fantasy performance against the Chicago Bears on Sunday afternoon. He completed 23 of 32 passes for 336 yards and three touchdown passes. Goff found Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Sam LaPorta for his touchdown passes and was sharp in leading the Lions to a big 34-17 victory in Chicago. Goff took care of the football with no turnovers and came through for fantasy managers who started him in playoff matchups. With plenty of weapons in an explosive offense, the talented signal-caller is becoming one of the most reliable quarterbacks in fantasy.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is coming off his best game of the year in a loss to Buffalo. He will try to continue that positive momentum in a Week 16 matchup at the Chicago Bears. The Bears' defense is tops in the NFL in allowing the fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. It's a tough road tilt for Goff but the quarterback still sets up well from a fantasy perspective and should continue his hot stretch for fantasy managers needing a good playoff performance. With David Montgomery out, the Lions offense will lean on Jahmyr Gibbs in the backfield but the passing game should be more featured without the team's big bruiser. Goff will likely not throw as much as he did against Buffalo, but even with reduced volume, he should put up nice numbers on the road.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff turned in his best fantasy performance of the season in the team's 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Goff lit up the Bills for 494 passing yards and five passing touchdowns in what turned out to be the highest-scoring NFL game of this season. The Lions' signal caller threw early and often as he completed 38-of-59 passing attempts in the game. Goff spread the ball around to five different players who caught touchdowns including offensive lineman Dan Skipper. With the Lions trailing much of the game, Goff was in catch-up mode and his stats benefitted big time.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff faces a difficult matchup with the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. The Bills have allowed the fourth fewest points to opposing fantasy quarterbacks this season. Goff is coming off a three-touchdown performance in the Lions' win over the Green Bay Packers but could find the going more difficult this week even though he is indoors at Ford Field. In his past six contests, Goff has two games with more than two passing touchdowns and three games with more than 250 passing yards. The signal caller will look to build off of momentum from his last game against the Packers as the 12-1 Lions host the 10-3 Bills. Look for the Lions to attack Buffalo on the ground with the duo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. Goff could surprise in a key matchup but will slot in as a mid-ranked quarterback in Week 15.
Dec 14, 2024 8:31 AM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw the ball 41 times and allowed six different pass catchers to haul in at least five receptions each during the 34-31 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The veteran signal-caller finished the game with 283 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception on 32-for-41 throwing while adding four carries for seven yards on the ground. Two of his scores went to Tim Patrick which were his first two of the season. Goff will look to push this win streak to 12 against the Buffalo Bills in Week 15.
Dec 6, 2024 9:52 AM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff will look to stay consistent in Week 14 as the Lions host the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night. Goff is coming off a solid performance in the Thanksgiving Day win over the Chicago Bears, where he threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns, both to Sam LaPorta. Despite the victory, the Lions' offense sputtered late, and Goff will need to bounce back against a Packers defense that allows the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season. With 22 touchdowns and nine interceptions on the year, Goff remains a reliable option for fantasy managers, especially with Detroit's potent offense. However, this week's matchup could limit his ceiling, making him a mid-tier QB2 in Week 14.
Dec 4, 2024 8:19 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 21 of 34 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns in a 23-20 victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 13. Goff leaned on efficiency rather than volume, with both of his touchdowns going to rookie tight end Sam LaPorta. However, Detroit's heavy reliance on their dynamic backfield duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery continues to limit Goff's ceiling for fantasy managers. While the Lions' offense continues to shine overall, Goff has now finished with fewer than 17 fantasy points in eight of 12 games this season, making him a volatile QB option. Goff and the Lions will face another NFC North rival in Week 14 as they host the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football.
Nov 29, 2024 9:48 AM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff faces the Chicago Bears in a Thanksgiving Day divisional matchup. Goff is coming off a quiet fantasy performance in Week 12, completing 26 of 36 passes for 269 yards but failing to find the end zone. Over his last four games, Goff has exceeded 11 fantasy points just once, with the Lions relying heavily on their run game. The Bears' defense has been stingy against opposing quarterbacks, allowing the sixth-fewest completions and the third-fewest passing touchdowns per game. While Goff has proven capable of delivering strong performances, this matchup and the Lions' run-first tendencies could limit his upside. Fantasy managers should approach Goff as a fringe QB2 this week, with Detroit likely leaning on Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery to exploit Chicago's vulnerable run defense.
Nov 27, 2024 4:46 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 26-of-36 passes for 269 yards in the team's 24-6 victory over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Despite moving the ball consistently through the air, Goff was held out of the end zone for the first time in nine games, leading to a quieter fantasy outing compared to his massive Week 11 performance. Goff's down weeks can be significant, as he has finished with under 11 fantasy points in four games this season. Still, his role in Detroit's explosive offense and high-scoring tendencies always make him a fantasy threat. Goff will look to rebound in Week 13 against the Chicago Bears.
Nov 24, 2024 9:23 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff heads into Week 12 against the Indianapolis Colts riding high after his best performance of the season last week. Goff ranks among the league's best in key metrics, leading all quarterbacks in yards per attempt while sitting second in passer rating and fifth in CPOE. The Colts defense has shown improvement recently but remains vulnerable, allowing the ninth-most completions and eighth-most passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks. While Indy has tightened up since Week 6, Goff's efficiency and the Lions' offensive weapons should keep him in the mix as a solid QB1 option. With Detroit's potent scoring offense averaging 31.6 points per game, Goff is poised to remain productive for fantasy managers again in Week 12.
Nov 22, 2024 7:56 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff lit up the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11, completing 24-of-29 passes (82.8%) for 412 yards and four touchdowns in a dominant 52-6 victory. Goff also added 21 rushing yards on four attempts, rebounding from his five-interception performance in Week 10 with a perfect passer rating against a struggling Jaguars defense. This was by far Goff's best fantasy outing of the season, making him the overall QB1 for the week heading into Sunday night and the No. 3 fantasy scorer overall. Goff will aim to continue his MVP-caliber campaign in Week 12 as the Lions travel to face the Indianapolis Colts, who narrowly defeated the Jets in Week 11.
Nov 17, 2024 8:14 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff enters Week 11 with a prime opportunity to rebound against a struggling Jacksonville Jaguars defense. While Goff's fantasy production has been underwhelming this season, finishing under 15 points in five games, this matchup offers a chance for a turnaround. The Jaguars allow the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks, the third-most passing yards per game (271.9), and the fourth-most passing touchdowns per game (1.9). Despite tossing five interceptions in Week 10, that performance appears to be an outlier. With Jacksonville surrendering 26.4 points per game (sixth-most in the NFL), Goff should have opportunities to exploit their defensive vulnerabilities. While an early blowout could shift Detroit to a run-heavy approach, the Lions' high-scoring offense will likely lean on Goff to set the tone early. Consider him a low-end QB1 with upside this week.
Nov 15, 2024 10:32 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff struggled in fantasy during the team's 26-23 victory over the Houston Texans in Week 10. Goff threw for 240 yards and two touchdowns but completed just 15 of 30 passes, marking a season-low 50% completion rate. He also threw five interceptions which certainly put a damper on any solid numbers he posted this week. This was his third single-digit fantasy performance of the season and his second consecutive game with under 10 points. Despite Detroit's seven-game winning streak, Goff's fantasy output has been inconsistent and far from elite. He'll look to bounce back in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Nov 11, 2024 11:08 AM EST
The Houston Texans D/ST intercepted Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff a whopping five times on Sunday, but it wasn't quite enough as the Lions came back to win on the final play of regulation, 26-23. The defense did not record a sack in the defeat, during which the Houston offense failed to score in the second half after being ahead 23-7 at halftime. Houston will look to snap a two-game losing streak with a visit to the reeling Dallas Cowboys in Week 11.
Nov 11, 2024 12:02 AM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff enters Week 10 against the Houston Texans offering reliable but modest upside as a fantasy play. Goff ranks second among qualifying quarterbacks in yards per attempt and seventh in fantasy points per dropback, showcasing solid efficiency throughout the season. However, Houston's pass defense has been tough at times over the last few weeks, which could encourage Detroit to lean even more on their run game. That said, the Texans have struggled with pass touchdowns, ranking 32nd in pass touchdown rate allowed and giving up the 10th-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. With Jameson Williams back from suspension (PED violation), Goff has a versatile set of playmakers to leverage, keeping him in the low-end QB1/QB2 mix this week especially helpful with four teams on bye.
Nov 8, 2024 8:07 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff delivered a subpar fantasy outing in the team's 24-14 win over the Green Bay Packers, finishing with just 9.6 fantasy points his second-lowest total of the season and only his second game without reaching double digits. Despite the weather and a limited passing workload, Goff completed 18 of 22 passes for an efficient 81.8% completion rate. He totaled 145 yards with one touchdown and kept his streak of five straight games without an interception intact. While the game didn't yield high fantasy numbers for Goff, his consistency and ability to manage the game helped secure another win for the Lions, solidifying their spot atop both the division and conference standings. The Lions will look to keep their momentum going against the Houston Texans in Week 10.
Nov 3, 2024 8:38 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is positioned for a productive outing against the Green Bay Packers in Week 9. While Week 8 saw a modest 85 passing yards from Goff, Detroit's ground game was the primary scoring method. Over his last three games, Goff has demonstrated impressive efficiency, completing 80% of his passes for 680 yards, eight touchdowns, and zero interceptions, securing his status as a reliable QB1. The Packers' defense ranks 29th in blitz rate and allows one of the league's higher yards per completion, presenting an opportunity for Goff to connect on longer throws. They've also shown vulnerability by conceding the fifth-highest success rate per dropback, making this matchup favorable. With his accuracy and the Lions' overall offensive firepower, Goff remains a strong top-10 QB option this week.
Nov 1, 2024 8:28 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (ankle) returned to practice on Thursday as a full participant. This is a great sign for Goff as he sat out during Wednesday's practice after rolling his ankle. Seeing return to practice the next day puts him in great position to suit up this weekend. The 30-year-old has led the Lions to five straight victories since falling to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 2. During this span, Goff has held a stellar 83.0% completion rate while averaging 23.0 PPR points per game. Goff remains a solid QB1 option in all formats this weekend when he faces the Green Bay Packers who have allowed the 18th-most points to opposing QBs this season.
Oct 31, 2024 4:49 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. The veteran said his ankle is sore, but he expects to be fine. Goff posted just 85 passing yards in the Week 8 blowout win over the Tennessee Titans, but he tossed three touchdown passes. The former No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft has at least two touchdowns in each of his last five games and has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league in recent weeks. It would be a surprise if he misses the Week 9 game against the Green Bay Packers, but fantasy managers of Goff and the Detroit pass-catchers should monitor his status. Assuming Goff is good to go, he'll face a tough matchup against a Green Bay defense that has surrendered the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to QBs. If he's at risk of being out, second-year quarterback Hendon Hooker would draw the start.
Oct 30, 2024 3:25 PM EST
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff delivered another strong performance in Week 7, helping lead the team to a 31-29 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Goff was highly efficient, completing 22 of 25 passes for an 88% completion rate, accumulating 280 yards and two touchdowns. His accuracy and decision-making were on full display, keeping the Lions' offense moving throughout the game. Goff's impressive outing earned him a Top-5 fantasy QB finish for the week going into Sunday night, reinforcing his status as a reliable starter. The Lions will focus on a home matchup against the Tennessee Titans as Goff is a low-end QB1 heading into Week 8.
