Jared Goff News
Saturday, September 12, 6:02 AM
Across 17 games in 2025, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 68.0% of his pass attempts for 4,564 yards, 34 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. Goff has consistently led potent Lions' passing attacks in recent years, recording three consecutive seasons with at least 4,500 passing yards and 30 touchdown passes. Entering 2026, Detroit has once again assembled a formidable group of offensive weapons around Goff. In Week 1, the Lions will host the New Orleans Saints. New Orleans fielded a fairly formidable passing defense in 2025, allowing the fifth-fewest total passing yards (3,336) and 12th-fewest yards per pass attempt (6.8) in the NFL. Still, Goff has all his top pass-catchers healthy to start the season and has traditionally provided fantasy managers with a very high production floor when playing at home. In Week 1 against New Orleans, Goff profiles as a low-end fantasy QB1.

Jacoby Brissett News
Saturday, September 12, 5:41 AM
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is returning to helm the team's offense after signing a one-year, $15.5 million contract in the offseason. Brissett succeeded Kyler Murray as Arizona's starting quarterback after Murray's season was ended by a severe foot sprain in Week 5. In 12 starts, Brissett threw for 3,366 yards, 23 touchdowns, and eight interceptions, and averaged 40.3 pass attempts per game. His production made him the QB7 measured by fantasy points per game. To kick off 2026, Brissett will face a challenging Chargers defense. With rookie running back Jeremiyah Love questionable and the Cardinals likely to be playing from behind, Arizona may be forced into a pass-heavy script. He will be a risky start in single-quarterback leagues but is a good play in two-QB or superflex leagues based on his potential volume.
