Jared Goff Records Strong Week 13 Performance Despite Injury Woes in Detroit

Once star Detroit Lions wideout Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) went down with an ankle injury in the first quarter of Detroit's Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Lions quarterback Jared Goff looked like he might be heading towards a disastrous day. However, the 31-year-old bounced back nicely in a tough matchup, completing 20 of 26 pass attempts for 256 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. With the Lions offense down multiple starters on the offensive line and now without its top two pass-catchers in St. Brown and tight end Sam LaPorta (back), Goff will have to shoulder more of the playmaking workload in Detroit. Goff has typically struggled in that role throughout his career, but his performance against Green Bay could be considered a positive sign that he can keep the Lions' offense afloat through its injury woes. In Week 14, Goff will face a Dallas Cowboys defense that looks much more formidable after its trade deadline additions.

Jared Goff a Risky Starting QB in Tough Week 13 Matchup

Entering Week 13, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has thrown for at least 250 yards and two touchdowns in three out of his last four games. However, Goff will face a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. Through 12 weeks, Green Bay's defense is allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. In Detroit's first matchup against the Packers in Week 1, Goff completed 31 of 39 pass attempts for 225 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Making matters even more difficult, Goff will be without starting left guard Christian Mahogany (leg), starting center Graham Glasgow (knee), and tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) in Week 13. Goff profiles as a low-end starting fantasy quarterback in single-QB formats against the Packers.

Jared Goff Volumes His Way to Solid Production in Week 12

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff did not have his most efficient day in his team's 34-27 overtime Week 12 win over the New York Giants, averaging just 6.6 yards per pass attempt. However, Goff found his way to solid production with volume, completing 28 of 42 pass attempts for 279 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The 31-year-old has now completed 69.3% of his pass attempts for 2,769 yards, 23 touchdowns, and five interceptions across 11 games this season. Still, it's worth noting that Goff has been sacked 14 times in his last five outings and has failed to crack seven yards per pass attempt in consecutive weeks. With the Lions offense looking a bit disjointed, fantasy managers in single-QB formats may want to avoid Goff in a difficult Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day.

Jared Goff Set Up for Success in Favorable Week 12 Matchup?

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had one of his worst games in a Lions uniform in Week 11, completing just 14 of 37 pass attempts for 255 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. On paper, Goff has a much easier matchup in Week 12 when Detroit hosts the New York Giants. Through 11 weeks, the Giants have allowed the sixth-most passing yards (2,641) in the NFL. New York will also remain without cornerback Paulson Adebo (knee), who has been out since Week 7 with a knee injury. The Lions are dealing with some health issues themselves, as Goff will be without tight end Sam LaPorta (back), and multiple Detroit offensive linemen are playing through nagging injuries. Still, Goff could have a chance to do damage against the struggling Giants defense and profiles as a must-start fantasy QB1 in Week 12.

Jared Goff Facing Difficult Matchup in Week 11 Without Key Pass-Catcher

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff had one of his best games of the season in Week 10, completing 25 of 33 pass attempts for 320 yards and three touchdowns in a 44-22 win over the Washington Commanders. Goff now gets a significantly more challenging matchup in Week 11 when the Lions travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. Through 10 weeks, Philadelphia has allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (1,979) in the NFL, and they are tied with the Denver Broncos for the fewest passing touchdowns allowed (eight). To make matters worse, Goff will be without one of his top receiving weapons in tight end Sam LaPorta (back). If there's a reason for positivity about Goff's fantasy outlook in Week 11, it's the potential for pass volume. The Lions are underdogs against Philadelphia, and Goff is averaging 35 pass attempts per game in losses compared to 28 pass attempts per game in wins. Goff profiles as a fringe fantasy QB1 and a must-start quarterback in two QB formats in Week 11.

Jared Goff Throws for Over 300 Yards in Blowout Win Over Washington

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff didn't seem to have any issues during Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. This defense had absolutely no answers for Goff as he picked them apart all game. Goff completed 25-of-33 passing attempts for 320 yards with three touchdowns and zero interceptions in the win. The 31-year-old has now thrown for multiple touchdowns in five of his last six games. This marked only the second time this season that Goff has thrown for over 300 yards in a single game. He'll look to keep the fun times going against the Philadelphia Eagles next weekend.

Jared Goff Seeking More Consistent Pass Protection Heading into Favorable Week 10 Matchup

Through eight games so far this season, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has thrown for 1,915 yards, 17 touchdowns, and three interceptions. The 31-year-old has tossed multiple touchdown passes in five out of eight contests and is currently averaging eight yards per pass attempt. In Week 10, Goff gets a favorable matchup on paper against the Washington Commanders. Through nine weeks, Washington ranks last in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (8.8) and 29th in passing touchdowns allowed (19). The Commanders also lost top cornerback Marshon Lattimore (knee) to a season-ending ACL tear in Week 9. If there's reason for concern for Goff, it's the Lions' struggles on the offensive line. Goff has been sacked 14 times over his last four games after taking just four sacks over his first four outings. Still, Goff profiles as a low-end fantasy QB1 against Washington in Week 10.

Jared Goff Tosses Two Touchdowns Despite Pass Protection Struggles in Week 9 Loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff did not have his cleanest game in Week 9, taking five sacks in his team's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Still, Goff managed to post solid production from a fantasy perspective, completing 25 of 37 pass attempts for 284 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The 31-year-old has now thrown for 1,915 yards, 17 touchdowns, and three interceptions across eight starts in 2025. Unfortunately for Goff, the Lions' pass protection issues may continue going forward as they lost starting left guard Christian Mahogany (leg) to a serious-looking leg injury in Week 9. Still, Goff has a favorable matchup on paper in Week 10 when the Lions travel to Washington to face the Commanders.

Jared Goff Profiles as a Low-End Starter in Difficult Week 9 Matchup

Through his first seven games of 2025, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has completed 74.9% of his pass attempts for 1,631 yards, 16 touchdowns, and three interceptions. Coming out of their Week 8 bye, Goff and the Lions will have a difficult matchup at home against the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota has allowed the fourth-fewest passing yards (1,428) in the NFL so far this season. Across two games against the Vikings in 2024, Goff completed 49 of 58 pass attempts for 511 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Lions scored 31 points in each of those contests, so they have had some success moving the ball against Minnesota in the past. Goff profiles as a borderline low-end fantasy QB1 and a must-start fantasy quarterback in two-QB formats in Week 9.

Jared Goff Throws Touchdown, Commits Two Turnovers in Win

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 20 of 29 passes for 241 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding two rushes for seven yards in Monday night's 24-9 win over Tampa Bay. He also took four sacks for a loss of 26 yards and lost a fumble. Outside of a few mistakes, Goff once again distributed the ball effectively to his elite group of weapons, connecting with Amon-Ra St. Brown for a 27-yard touchdown in the first quarter and connecting with the explosive Jahmyr Gibbs three times for 82 yards. In a game where the ground game averaged over five yards per carry and Detroit's defense dominated Baker Mayfield, the Lions didn't need to throw the ball a lot. With the ground game averaging over five yards per carry and Detroit's defense stifling Baker Mayfield, the Lions didn't need to rely heavily on the passing attack. Goff and the Lions will ride into their Week 8 bye on a positive note.

Jared Goff Set Up for Success in Potential Week 7 Shootout?

Through six weeks, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff leads the NFL in both completion percentage (75.9%) and touchdown passes (14). The Lions were held to just 17 points by the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 6, but the team is still averaging 31.8 points per contest. Detroit will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7 in a matchup that looks on paper like it should be a shootout. The Bucs currently rank 23rd in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520) and have allowed the fourth-most receptions of 40-plus yards (four). The Lions will go into the game without both starting safeties and their two top cornerbacks, so the pressure could be on Goff and the offense to keep the pedal to the metal from start to finish. Goff profiles as a solid fantasy starter in single-quarterback formats in Week 7 against Tampa Bay.

Jared Goff Solid but Unspectacular in Week 6, Must-Start Quarterback in Week 7?

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff posted a solid but unspectacular line in his team's 30-17 Week 6 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, completing 23 of 29 pass attempts for 203 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. The 31-year-old is having a highly efficient season so far, leading the NFL in completion percentage (75.9%) and touchdown passes (14) while averaging exactly eight yards per pass attempt. Goff could be a candidate to rejoin the ranks of must-start fantasy quarterbacks in single-QB formats in Week 7. The Lions will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who rank 24th in the NFL in passing yards allowed (1,520) through six weeks.

Oct 14, 2025 12:17 PM EST


Jared Goff Still Worth Starting in Difficult Week 6 Matchup?

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been a productive player through five weeks this season, recording 1,187 passing yards and 12 touchdowns compared to just two interceptions. However, he may be a quarterback for fantasy managers to move away from in a difficult Week 6 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (999) and fourth-fewest number of passing touchdowns (five) in the NFL so far this season. Additionally, Goff could be without starting left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder), which may limit Detroit's ability to push the ball downfield. In two-quarterback formats, Goff still profiles as a solid QB2, but he may be a player to avoid in Week 6 in single-QB leagues.

Jared Goff Throws Three Touchdown Passes in Week 5

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff led the charge as his team scored at least 34 points for the fourth straight week in a 37-24 Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Goff completed 19 of 23 pass attempts for 258 yards and three touchdowns, although he did get sacked four times and lost a fumble while playing without left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder). Through five games this season, Goff has thrown for 1,187 yards, 12 touchdowns, and two interceptions. He remains a matchup-dependent, low-end fantasy starter in single-quarterback formats. Goff and the Lions will face a difficult test in Week 6 as they travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.

Jared Goff Set Up for Bounce-Back Week in Favorable Week 5 Matchup?

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff struggled in Week 4 in a difficult matchup against the Cleveland Browns, completing just 59.3% of his pass attempts for 168 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. The 30-year-old has now thrown for 929 yards, nine touchdowns, and two picks through his first four games of 2025. Goff gets an easier matchup on paper in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Cincinnati has allowed the third-most passing yards in the NFL (1,089) through the first four weeks of the season. The Lions currently rank ninth in the league in yards per pass attempt (7.6), so they should be able to find success moving the ball through the air. Goff profiles as a low-end fantasy starter in single-QB formats and a must-start quarterback in two-QB leagues in Week 5.

Jared Goff Posts Struggles to be Efficient in Week 4

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff did not have his best statistical day against a top-notch defense in his team's Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns. Goff completed 16 of 27 pass attempts for 168 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. On the season, the 30-year-old has now completed 73.8% of his pass attempts for 929 yards, nine touchdowns, and two interceptions. Goff has shown the potential for gaudy touchdown totals over the past couple of years in this Lions offense, but his lack of rushing ability (11 rushing yards this season) limits his fantasy ceiling. He profiles as a matchup-dependent low-end starter in single-quarterback leagues, and has a favorable matchup on paper in Week 5 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Jared Goff Facing Difficult Week 4 Matchup

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been playing at a high level so far in 2025, completing 77.9% of his pass attempts for 761 yards, seven touchdowns, and one interception through his first three games. Goff has a difficult matchup in Week 4 against the Cleveland Browns. Through three games, Cleveland has allowed the fifth-fewest passing yards in the NFL (521) and has recorded 11 sacks, tied for the fourth-most in the league. Goff may struggle to move his offense up and down the field against Cleveland as easily as he has over the past two weeks against the Chicago Bears and Baltimore Ravens. In Week 4, Goff profiles as a solid fantasy QB2 in two-quarterback formats, but he should be avoided where possible in single-QB leagues.

Jared Goff has Reduced Workload on Monday Night

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff led his team to a huge road win in Baltimore on Monday Night and re-established his team as one of the teams to beat in the NFC. However, his total stats were not that spectacular since he threw for just 202 passing yards and one touchdown, while also adding six rushing yards on four carries. Goff wasn't asked to do as much heavy lifting since the "Sonic and Knuckles" tandem of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs was absolutely dominant on the ground, totaling 218 rushing yards on 34 carries and scoring four rushing touchdowns. Goff and the Lions will look to claim a third straight win when they come home for a Week 4 matchup against the Browns. Goff will remain a high-upside play, but he is volatile because the rest of his team is so strong that he can have a quiet day while his team still dominates.

Jared Goff Faces Tough Week 3 Matchup on Monday Night

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff dominated the Chicago Bears in Week 2, completing 23 of 28 pass attempts for 334 yards and five touchdowns. The 30-year-old will now face a significantly tougher test in Week 3 as the Lions travel to Baltimore to take on the Ravens on Monday Night Football. The last time Detroit played in Baltimore back in 2023, Goff struggled. He completed 33 of 53 pass attempts for 284 yards but threw an interception and did not have a touchdown. The Ravens' defense has allowed the second-most passing yards per game (298.5) so far this season, so Detroit's passing game may have some success. Still, Goff profiles outside the top-12 at his position for fantasy in Week 3 and should be avoided where possible in single-QB formats.

Jared Goff Throws Five Touchdowns

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff was outstanding on the field during Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. Goff bounced back in epic fashion after a lackluster performance in the season opener. Goff completed 23-of-28 passing attempts for 334 yards with five touchdowns in the blowout victory. Yes, you read that correctly, Goff threw five touchdowns in this game. Goff went out and showed former Offensive Coordinator Ben Johnson that he's doing just fine without him. He tossed a pair of touchdowns to Jameson Williams while Amon-Ra St. Brown found the end zone three times on Sunday. Now, Goff will head into a tough test against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3. Given his performance this week, fantasy managers should view Goff as a QB1 for next week.
