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.

Updating a previous report, Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) is expected to miss two to four weeks with a high-ankle sprain that he suffered in Sunday night's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Not only has McCarthy looked pretty bad in seven of the eight quarters he's played in the first two games of his NFL career, but now he's dealing with a multi-week injury. The good news is that when he's ready to return, he'll have receiver Jordan Addison back from suspension. Still, those expecting the 22-year-old former first-rounder to come in right away and play like Sam Darnold in head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense have had a rude awakening. McCarthy deserves to be stashed in superflex and dynasty/keeper leagues, but in the meantime, veteran Carson Wentz could be a sneaky QB2 in two-QB leagues, beginning in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Still trying to decide between Goff and McCarthy? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that Jared Goff is projected to score 21.7 points this week while J.J. McCarthy is projected to score 17.4 points.
