Jared Goff Continues to Have Dynasty Appeal at 31 Years Old

Wednesday, May 27, 9:11 AM

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff may be 31 years old, but he continues to offer a stable quarterback option for managers in dynasty fantasy football leagues. Goff has been a top-10 fantasy quarterback in each of his last four seasons, benefitting from a strong supporting cast that features Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta (back), and Jahmyr Gibbs. He had one of the best seasons of his career last year, amassing 4,564 passing yards, 34 passing touchdowns, and eight interceptions. One of the biggest factors for Goff going forward is the protection in front of him. The veteran took a career-high 38 sacks last year, and he's not mobile enough to evade defenders. Fortunately, the Lions solidified their offensive line with Cade Mays and Blake Miller, both projected to take on starting roles. With improved protection, a terrific arm, and a productive supporting cast, Goff should remain in the low-end QB1 or high-end QB2 conversation in dynasty leagues for several years to come.

Lamar Jackson News

Lamar Jackson "Absolutely" Wants to Stay With Ravens Long-Term

Wednesday, May 27, 5:37 PM

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson said he "absolutely" wants to stay with the Ravens long-term, according to Giana Han of The Baltimore Banner. Owner Steve Bisciotti said the team wanted to sign the two-time MVP to a contract extension before the start of free agency in March, but general manager Eric DeCosta later said they "ran out of time" and were forced to restructure Jackson's contract instead. Baltimore lowered the 29-year-old's 2026 salary cap hit to $34.39 million by restructuring his contract, but his 2027 cap hit will increase to $84.34 million. Jackson didn't answer whether he wants to bet on himself and play out this season, and was mum on the details of his contract talks with the front office. The former 32nd overall pick back in 2018 out of Louisville is coming off an injury-plagued and disappointing 2025 campaign, but he appears motivated and re-energized while learning new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle's scheme for the upcoming season. As long as he stays on the field, Jackson is an easy QB bounce-back candidate, and he's ranked as RotoBaller's No. 2 QB in single-year fantasy formats.
