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

Saturday, October 18, 10:18 PM

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.

Bryce Young Undergoing Tests on Ankle

Sunday, October 19, 4:58 PM

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) is undergoing tests to evaluate the severity of his ankle injury, according to head coach Dave Canales. Young exited during the second half of Sunday's Week 7 win over the New York Jets and was unable to return. Andy Dalton took over in his absence, and while he did close out the victory, he was unable to lead a scoring drive. The Panthers were relatively fortunate that Young's injury came in a softer matchup against the Jets, who were never able to mount a true comeback threat. Their schedule gets much tougher in Week 8, though, as they take on the Buffalo Bills. Having Young available will be key for the Panthers as they look to pull off the upset at home. Fans and fantasy managers should keep an eye on the Panthers' injury reports over the next week.
